Sew-Sew the Little Sewing Shop in Quarter Sacle.

I can't believe it is the 2nd day of April and I have already finished the April One a Month Bunch project.   February and March were very involved so I purposely selected a smaller project.   I got these little kits to finish into little scenes.   I had the boxes assembled for months and have been collecting the things in my stash that had to do with quarter scale sewing items and completed a swap recently in that theme so I had everything I needed.   Found 3 items in the notion category at the Orlando Show and that was kinda the final stuff I needed.    Figured it would be easy to do in April since I have several commitments for later in the month.   Well, one day to pick wallpaper and flooring and the items nearly jumped into place.   I did a little placement work and it was like everything knew where it belonged.      If I had know it would be so easy, I would have finished it some time ago.   This was one of those projects that nearly finished itself.

 Working on Placement
 More placement work.
 Papered in black and white
 Final Layout - added faux door on right side.  
 I love this little stand.   Look at the great patterns in the notion display. 
 Here is the final project. 

Another view.
 
At some point I want to do a 'main street' scene in quarter scale.   The door was set up this way to open to a courtyard and hopefully the dress shop that I have to do in a couple of months will accompany this shop.   Stay tuned.
