NEW STUFF for Small Business Saturday!

Wow. I hadn't realized that it's been this long since I updated! I have been busy coming up with new things!

In honor of Small Business Saturday, all skirts are 15% off. Really. Saturday, 26 November 2011, ONLY. Order now to get them in time for Christmas!!!

Available colors: Red. Blue. Pink. Purple. Green. You choose the base, I'll fill in the coordinating colors and do the rest. All sizes available starting at 6m, up to 10 years.

AND, because I'm a small business, and I think it's cool to shop handmade, I've added some new things to my line!

Things for BOYS! Because I have a boy, and he's always wondering when I'm going to make HIM something.

Saturday only, as an introduction to our new boys line, get this DOORBUSTER DEAL for $5.00!

ONLY $5 for this little Car Caddy - made especially for the little (or big) boys in your life! This caddy carries 6 cars to church, in the car, to Grandma's - wherever you travel and need to keep your boy entertained. Comes with a starter car - you supply the rest! (Regular price: $7.00)

ALSO, THIS!

This Boy's Entertainment Packet travels with you on all your road trips. In a handy carrying case, with colored pencils, cars (complete with a road to drive on), paper to draw with and a book to read, your boy will be entertained without electronics on a trip!

Packet comes complete with colored pencils, paper, a children's book and 1 car. (Parking slots for 4 cars).  Door Buster price valid ONLY on 26 November 2011: $15.00. Regular price - $25.00.

Children's aprons are $20 each, Mommy's apron is $30.  Make Mine Matching for $40.00. Available colors: Red, Purple, Pink, Blue, Green. (Pardon the photo - this particular apron is part of a matching set that my girls are getting for Christmas, so my son was the reluctant model - and he's in his pajamas.)

Family Photo Op...

Just thought I'd share a photo of my own girls in their matching skirts. Shortly AFTER making the skirts, I gave birth to a baby girl... her skirt to match the others is on the sewing desk.

 Please note: my girls are not wearing the shirts that came with their skirts... they like to wear those with everything else they have!

As a side note: my 5 year old had to be reminded that her skirt was not a work skirt, and she could not wear it to help with the chickens today. She was disappointed that she couldn't wear her favorite skirt... just for today, Mom!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

And thanks to all who played at Mother Goose here in Salem, OR! We have THREE winners! Size six winner will receive her skirt on Monday, 1 August - check back for a photo of her skirt.

Size 6 months and size nine... please contact me as soon as possible to receive your skirts!

And check back next Wednesday to see the latest trend: MATCHING COUSIN SKIRTS!

Guess Who's on ETSY NOW?!?!?!?

Pretty obvious. It's ME! Sure, there are lots of other people on Etsy also, but Princess In Overalls is FINALLY on ETSY with the ability to order and shop and PAY for your order there! Of course, if you want the specials, you'll still have to keep looking HERE... or on Facebook if you have that option.

Just finished THREE matching skirts for Easter for my girls (o.k. so really I finished them two days after Easter, but I'm just now getting around to telling you about them.) They're turquoise. And purple. And pink. And absolutely adorable. Unfortunately, you'll have to wait for pictures. Those are still in the camera.

I am still taking orders, and still making skirts. Summer is coming, and these skirts are adorable with a pair of leggings and sandals and a cute short sleeved shirt or tank top... and for fancier wear, a short cardigan is the perfect match! For those who prefer cowboy boots, that's my daughter's choice of footwear, and they're perfect with the skirts. Keep checking back for photos! I promise to have them up within the next day or two (or three depending if I have a baby in the next few days.)

Going GREEN for the Week...

Don't Kiss Me, I'm really NOT Irish. And I'm not wearing anything Green. I freely Admit it. I MIGHT wear something Green on St. Patty's day - or make something green for dinner or maybe even cook up some Corned Beef and Cabbage - If I can stand the smell...

However... In honor of ST. PATRICK'S Day, I'm putting ALL GREEN based skirts on sale until Friday, 18th March at MIDNIGHT! "IRISH" will get you 10% off AND FREE SHIPPING! (savings dependent on size of skirt...)

Send and e-mail to princessesinoveralls@gmail.com with the size of the skirt and the base color; put IRISH in the subject heading to get the discount, and I'll shoot you back a reply with your grand total and a date of delivery!

Get your order in now; this sale won't last!

Pass this on to all your friends... especially the ones with cute girls who like to spin in fun skirts!!!

Madeline's Skirt

This is a skirt I made for my neice... her favorite color is Turquoise. I added the maroon to accent the subtle splash in the pattern of the skirt.

Olive Oyle... The NEWEST member of the PIO Family!

This is one of my favorite skirts... and my husband's personal favorite! This particular skirt was made in a size 7, but can be made for any size princess! Colors in this skirt are olive green, light orange, and hot pink. If you want this skirt, specify "OLIVE OYLE" in colors...

Looking forward to sewing for your little ones!!!

(Watch for a special VALENTINES sale coming ONLY 14 February 2011... Details to follow!)

Skirts for 6-12M

I made this adorable skirt for my little one... she loves to chew on the hem.

(I made a matching one for my 9 year old... she wears it constantly!)

All Princess In Overalls skirts are 100% cotton and handmade. They are machine washable in COLD water,  iron as needed. Skirts are made of 4 or 5 different fabrics, making them a very full skirt. I think if it wasn't for laundry days, my girls would wear their skirts 24/7!  Skirts come with a coordinating t-shirt. I make the skirts a little longer than the pattern suggests so that children can wear them longer than 3 weeks!

Please e-mail for prices, as they vary dependent on the size.

To order, please send an e-mail with your little girl's favorite color (or the color you want her to wear), her waist size - if known, and her age. If she is taller or smaller than average for her age, please let me know what size she normally wears and order accordingly. Sizes are based upon age rather than typical sizes you'd find at another clothing boutique.

Introducing...

Princesses In Overalls! A Children's Boutique featuring clothing and toys and other fun things for children ages 10 and younger (and some who are older than that too!).

Princesses In Overalls specializes in modest skirts for girls, cowboy vests for boys, and toys for children specially made by Andrew Stahr Specialty Woodworking. This business is family owned and operated, and got started because too many other people told me how adorable the skirts I made for my own girls were.

To place an order, please let me know the age of your child, a base color (Pink, Purple, Red, Orange, Green... you get the picture!) and waist size. Pictures and Prices HERE - the website is not fully functional yet, but will be completely operational by 1 March 2011!

Fabric colors and sample photos coming soon!!!
