Having a Screen Maid makes sense to me, she has this unique ability to wipe all those nasty fingerprints from all of your screens. And you only have to pay for her once. (Although you may fall into a seasonal change of wardrobe) I had a difficult time stopping at a dozen. +
Even with print-free screens they are adding to ipads and iphones and laptops, they constantly leave fingerprints, I just had to think of something... So being the lady I am, thought why not a cute skirt with an apron that has a function and a backing with a special backing that erases those fingerprints like magic.
I love her name too as she reminds me of an era long gone where women wore dresses and aprons in their kitchens and they were even known to wear some pearls at times. Ok, maybe that was just in the movies but still, life just seemed simpler.
Now these Screen Maids are easy to make and I guide you with multiple photos so you will be able to construct one or many which as been my experience.
I even put together some kits, everything you will need to make one, all the layers, fabrics, ribbons, and of course buttons from Shellysbuttonsandmore. Riley Blake Fabrics are always my first choice to create and design because they have such a variety of basics and some very unique new collections that always making me quiver...
I made some Screen Maids with velvet, quilted fabrics, and Halloween and Christmas... I know this will be perfect gift to send from some of my friends. My darling hubby who came up with the name, he is always my biggest fan also wants me to come up with a unique design for men, (already on it, so stay tuned for that very soon).
A question that I get asked constantly, "how do you keep coming up with these ideas?" I wish I knew-- they just come to me, I will look at the countless graphics I have designed over the decades and sometimes they will stir me to design something new. And then I sit with my pencil and freezer paper, (my perfect staple for patterns) and draw and cut out a pattern and voila, it just comes together.
So if this creates any excitement for you, support designers, button makers and we will continue to bring you some unique ideas...
Love this plaid, with her cute gift button. there is just something
about plaid and christmas and white aprons. Brings a flood

Halloween, another one of my most fav holidays. I met my husband
on Halloween at a Hospital Trade Show and 10 years later
married him on Halloween. So Halloween themes always move
me to create and design with flair..

this Screen Maid a shreiking delight.
