Lots of new goodies coming to the Pierogi Picnic shop in June! Here’s a sneak peek of one piece that was just finished up last night. I’m loving the arrow print!

Events: Button Drive
Button, button, who’s got the button!?
Throughout the month of June I am hosting a Button Drive to collect used, vintage, and otherwise unwanted buttons. If you have one, two, five or fifty buttons you’d like to give up I’ll give you a 30% discount to my Etsy shop for sending them my way! All you have to do is fill out the form below and wait for my confirmation. Then we’ll swap info and I’ll send you a coupon code. Nice and easy! Continue reading
Press: Glue and Glitter
It seems that the summer frenzy is hitting everyone these days! Glue and Glitter put together a wonderful roundup of handmade summer duds – and guess who was included? Me! My Night Shift summer dress is part of their lovely collection. Take a peek at the full post here.
Designs: Mix N Match Swim
My latest line of upcycled made-to-order swimwear is here – and the designs are better than ever!
The “Mix N Match” collection in my Etsy shop allows you to pair your favorite top with the perfect bottom. This gives you the option to choose the bikini combo that flatters your figure most. Everyone knows that a good fit and design is key to looking and feeling confident on the beach – which is why customization is key!
What’s the best combination for my figure? I am “top heavy” and prefer to minimize my bust. So my favorite pairing is the boy short bottom and the bandeau top. Sporty with just a bit of flirty – it’s my perfect combo as it lets me swim or lounge in the sun!

Item of the Week: Urban Folk Tunic
It really doesn’t matter how tall, small, curvy or lean you are – tunics are a girl’s best friend! They elongate our torsos while covering our bums. What more could you ask for? Whether with tight jeans, a skirt or cutesy shorts, you can do no wrong with a lengthy tunic.
The Urban Folk design brings together this flattering shape with one of my favorite natural images: bare tree branches. I use a deconstructed t-shirt and hand-pull the print across the soft cotton. I then sew the shape and seams, creating an external gathered hem which gives just enough volume to bring an edge to an otherwise soft shape. The concept also gives the wearer a cinch at the waist without making them feel constricted anywhere else.
So when looking for a flattering, edgy, yet comfortable (yes – it’s possible!) piece, the Urban Folk Tunic is a three-in-one dream come true!
Inspiration: Sweet Summertime Fun
This week’s inspiration draws upon the Etsy community’s creativity and the upcoming promise of summer. This fun, brightly colored collection draws together various items to remind us that the new season’s just around the bend. Enjoy!
