September Design Challenge Winner--Grammies

Theresa Altland Taylor, owner of “Grammie’s Lil’ Dolls” was our winner in our September design challenge.  It was such an honor interviewing Theresa about her shop. 

1.     When did you learn to sew? 

I learned to sew when I was in my early teens.  My Grandmother taught me to sew on her Mom’s treadle machine.

2.     What made you want to share your boutique with others?

My Granddaughter is the reason I share my sewing with others.  I was not happy with the clothes available in the ready to wear market when my daughters were little, and I made them the majority of their clothes.  Then when my granddaughter was born my daughter faced the same thing and asked me to make some things for my granddaughter.  When her friends started asking for clothes like hers I opened my boutique. 

3.       How did you decide on your shop’s name?

“Grammie’s  Lil’ Dolls”  is named for my grandchildren because they are Grammie’s little dolls, though none of them are little anymore. 

       4.     What are some of your favorite Items?

    I don’t have anything in my boutique that my Granddaughter does not have a copy of.  If I don’t love it, I don’t think others will either. 

5.     What do you like to do when you are not sewing for your boutique?

When I am not sewing, I am probably at a baseball game with the children, or working in the baseball leagues concession stand, or doing something with our church family.  I also heavily support both the boy and girl scouts. 

6.     Do you have anything you would like to add?

 Grammies Lil’ Dolls is focused on modest, modern clothing which allows our children to remain children as long as possible. Any items you see in the shop can be made in other fabrics (colors or prints), or sizes.   I am offering a coupon code for 20% off all ready to shop items. Use coupon code “CHILDRENBOUTIQUE20”.  This coupon code expires on the 24^th of this month.
