Mad About Mama Sponsor Spotlight And EARLY ENTRIES~Skirt Of The Month Club!

I am MORE than just a little excited about my next sponsor for my Mad About Mama Mother's Day event! I actually found Erin, owner of the Skirt of the Month Club, while entering a giveaway she had going on over at her blog. I loved her designs so much, that I asked if she would be interested in sponsoring a review and giveaway for my event. I am so happy she agreed, and that I have the chance to share her amazing skirts with you all!

Skirt of the Month Club is a unique and FUN club where you can choose a 3, 6, 9, or 12 month subscription. Each month you're a subscriber, you will receive a wonderful boutique-style skirt that is handmade with only the highest quality materials and designer fabrics, such as Michael Miller, Amy Butler, and Alexander Henry. Each skirt is lovingly made with great attention to detail, and are serged and top-stitched for added durability. That's right! Don't be afraid to let your little princess play hard in these skirts in fear of ruining them. These skirts can stand up to the adventures of even the most curious and playful little gals! So let them run, jump and frolic in these twirly skirts, as they are very well-made and durable enough for everyday wear!

I recently interviewed Erin, owner of the Skirt of the Month Club to learn more about her inspiration and how she got into making these whimsical, adorable skirts. I love getting to know the person behind the business, since I feel it gives a little more of a personal touch to the wonderful creations they produce. Erin is a joy to work with, and is a very sweet person, too!

Here is a little more about her, in her own words:


"I'm a wife of ten years and a stay at home mom of two girls, ages 5 and 7. I grew up in a family full of very creative people, and some were/are really good at sewing. While I've always been good at more 'right-brained' pursuits, like art and dance, I was afraid to try sewing. I felt I would be lousy at it because it takes some patience and problem-solving! But I still put it on my bucket list of things to do, and finally got around to trying
it, expecting to hate it and that would be that. Well, I not only didn't hate it, but I actually took to it easily. The funny thing is that I was right about needing patience, but it actually helped me learn it instead of
being a source of aggravation. Well, most of the time!

Having two little girls is a huge inspiration for me. I love picking out fabrics and styles that I know they will like. A lot of the fabrics I pick are with them in mind, of what they will like and what I think their friends will like, too. It helps having two very different personalities! My older daughter likes pretty much anything, especially anything
Kawaii/Japanese or with cute animals, while my younger daughter is all girl and if it's pink or purple, she loves it! I personally love Woodland themes, or anything retro, so I like to mix those with my daughters' tastes! Picking fabric is the most fun and most addicting thing ever!

I also started sewing things for friends' kids and found I liked sewing for others, too, and that's what led me to opening an online shop. It's been so much fun, and an added bonus is that I've made some really great friends
through customers and other online sellers!"

I know I am glad she decided to try her hand (and her patience) at sewing, because her skirts truly are gorgeous. Just look at some of her designs:

Here is an example of what you will receive each month. Please note that skirts will vary, so these skirts may or may not be included in your monthly subscription.

Doesn't that look fun? I love that Erin includes little goodies for the girls she creates these skirts for. It's part of that added touch you only get with WAHM's. No factories or mass-produced goods here! You can be sure that your little girl will be the envy of all her friends in her skirts from the Skirt of the Month Club!
