Hats and yarn bowls and tunics, oh my!

Another amazing local designer to add to the racks!

The most lovely and very talented Lisa Dyck is finally on the racks at Sew Dandee! She brought in a huge pile of beautiful summer and fall pieces today that you're sure to fall in love it. I know I have!

Hot fashion for HOT weather!

The lovely and talented Miss Melanie Wesley just dropped off a pile of her beautiful handmade clothing. She uses the most lovely, comfortable fabrics and the most amazing prints for her designs. I'm a HUGE fan! Come on down and check out her collection!

The BIG Weekend is upon us!

Are you ready to celebrate our fine country?? I sure hope so! Don't miss the good times and sweet deals that go hand in hand with the Osborne Village Street Festival. And this year is doubly awesome with the streets being shut down the entire day Saturday AND Sunday! We'll be having our 25% off store wide sale so, make sure you come by and get that Osborne Village shirt you've been wanting or that messenger bag you need for Folk Fest or anything else handmade and awesome! We'll be open from 11am to 9pm both days.

To whet your appetite a bit more, here are some new goodies in the shop that are going to be 25% off come tomorrow! Check out these awesome new silk screened shirts made locally by the lovely and talented Kara of Cat Haus. Yes, my friends. You can have Ryan Gosling that close to your heart. *swoon*

My latest project as of yesterday is trying out some sun hat patterns for grown ups and little ones. Perfect for looking cool on a hot, sunny day! All cotton and easy to wash or soak down for those scorching days of heat! Oh and did I mention they're reversible!? Two hats in one!

And my gently worn clothing racks are full of amazing summer threads that are ALL 25% off all weekend! Come load up! We're looking forward to seeing you all soon! Don't forget to bring your reusable bag and slap on some sunscreen, too! By the looks of the fantastic forecast, you'll need it!

Dear ole' Dad!

Here is just a smattering of the gut busting Father's Day cards I've got at the shop. In addition to kick ass cards, we've also got great gifts for Dad! Silk screened neck ties, duct tape wallets, silk screened shirts of all kinds and much more!

New goodies galore!

Forgive my absence on the blog as of late but I've been a busy bee! The ever awesome Roy Liang of Dumb Chauffeur has graciously decided to let me use his oh so clever silk screen designs which means I can now do custom shirts etc. with the Confusion Corner and Maiden Manitoba images!!

Of course I'll be putting said images on anything else I can such as dish towels, onesies, kids shirts, undies, bags, patches, aprons and whatever else I can find! Come on down to the shop to see all the new items I've made so far!

Pride Week is upon us and Sew Dandee has all the Pride gear you need! I'm working on some new pins and magnets that'll be ready for you come Thursday night. And I've made up some new pride themed cards too! Enjoy the festivities, everyone!

Bring on the heat!

So I've got a new project on my cutting table today! Last fall I decided I needed a pair of shorts to wear under my dresses when riding my bike to avoid any unwanted undie flashing. So I came up with a high waisted vintage inspired short that I've been wearing like crazy and loving them! Then this April I went to Las Vegas for the Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend and I knew I'd need a 50s inspired suit to lounge by the pool in so I made myself THIS! After posting pics on the Facebook page I got a bunch of people asking when there would be some at the store. I promised I'd add the project to my to-do list and low and behold, I've actually started fulfilling that promise!

I made up a couple pair today and even cut out patterns in a few different sizes! My idea is to have a range of sizes made up on the racks and then I can custom make them on request in your size. Swim suits are so tricky to fit and you might be a small for the top and a large for the bottom. This way I can make you YOUR size! So, stay tuned for more and I do plan on making the multi-option reversible tube tops, too!

Momma's Day is around the corner!

So, it's that time of the year where Mom finally gets her due. Show that special lady in your life that has seen you at your worst and still loves you or that Wonder Woman who is always putting herself last and her family first. She deserves a little something be it a handmade, one of a kind purse, some luxurious body butter made with love and care right here in Winnipeg or that beautiful necklace made with an ornate serving spoon. You'll it all and more including the perfect card here at Sew Dandee! And remember we've got our summer hours going already so we're open late until 9pm on Thursdays and Fridays!

New at Sew Dandee!

Recycled candy wrapper pouches WAAAHHT!?!

I forgot to show you the candy wrapper zippered pouches that came in today from Funk Your Junk in Ottawa! They're so adorable and sweet! Pun intended. How awesome is the Archie comic one!?! It's got Archie Meets Kiss on the other side. LOVE IT!

Long time no post!

Sorry for not keeping you guys up to date on what's been going on at Sew Dandee these days! I'm back and I've got lots to share with you!


I'll get the sad news out of the way right away. Local designer, Wanda June has decided to take a permanent hiatus from the sewing world. Her life has been taken in a new direction and sewing has to take a back seat for now. We wish her nothing but the best in her new endeavors and send her many thanks for her wonderful creations!

On that note, all our Wanda June items are now 50% off so come and get your one of a kind piece before they're all gone! I've still got some great hats, a couple dresses and one hoodie left!

We've introduced some new crafters and products to the Sew Dandee scene as of late worth giving a mention!



First meet Kara of Cat Haus! She dabbles in all kinds of crafty mediums like silk screening, pin making and mixed media brooches. Check her stuff out!



Most of you know the name Just The Goods by now. If you don't, you gotta get in the know! Local creator, Milena is working her butt off making us eco-friendly, safe, healthy, vegan and all around amazing body products and they've been flying off the Sew Dandee shelves. She's recently added deodorant to her collection and I can speak from experience, it's fantastic! Come down and check out her entire line. There's something perfect for everyone.

Local seamstress, Grace brought in a couple more of her adorable circle pocket skirts perfect for the spring days that are JUST around the corner, I know it!


And I even found time to rework this fantastic skirt into an adorable, flowy dress!


We've got tons of fantastic patches in stock right now too made by Boomerang 360, Cat Haus, Dandy Denial and yours truly! And I've got some new silk screens in the works to add to this already awesome collection!







My aprons are still a hot item so I've been making more! These are my favorite thing to make these days so I'm glad you love them too!




I can't forget to mention that we are FULLY stocked in Hempen Stuff Soaps so if you need to load up, now is a great time!

In an effort to make room for some spring wear, I've marked down a TON of stuff here at the store in both the gently worn and handmade sections. So come give that closet of yours a burst of new duds! You deserve it!

I hope to see you down in the village soon, my friends!

Three more super purses now on the shelves!

Need a new bag and fresh smelling pits? We've got you covered!

So I've finally figured out how to make a lined bag with a zipper with the straps sewn into the seams!! This opens up so many design doors for my bags! Needless to say, I'm pumped.


Here's what I've come up with so far and I'm cutting more out today so stay tuned!








And more good news! Milena of Just The Goods brought by some fresh stock in her shaving solids, body butters and her NEW deodorant!

I've been using it for the past couple months now and it works great! As a person who has tried TONS of natural deodorants trying to avoid the dreaded aluminum, parabens, glycols and all that other crap that we DON'T need and can make us sick, Just The Goods has finally hit the mark. Free and clear of all chemicals and perfume yet still keeps me smelling good. She's got a few options with essential oils like lavender, citrus or cedar perfect for both ladies and gentlemen. It comes in a roll on glass bottle and she also offers a refill bottle so you can reuse the glass bottle. Yay for the environment and Yay for our pits! Come on down to Sew Dandee and give some Just The Goods a try. I promise you'll never want or need to buy that chemical laden crap again.
