Choosing Materials
Local fabric store
Girl print, boy print, neutral print, for each year
All the material is pre-washed so it won't shrink on you.
Everything I offer is hand crafted by me. Every knit item is tested first. I make the same thing multiple times to catch glitches in patterns. I wash absolutely everything many times to make sure it will stand up to regular life and use. In fact, nothing leaves to go to its new home without being washed first!
The Process...
With any sewn item, all fabrics are pre-washed. Since I use a lot of cotton or cotton blends, you can be assured there won't be shrinkage! I cut the patterns by hand. I cut the fabric by hand. I do use a sewing machine though, I like a polished look to what I make. You can expect only small batches and occasionally 1-of-a-kind items. I offer size ranges from 0-3 months to size 3. The fit of the wearables is generous to allow for longer use. I don't believe in 'fast fashion'. My style is often a more classic or traditional one, but I try to use current colour choices. I put love into everything I make so just know that a little piece of my heart is in ever sweater, dress, blanket and stuffed Bear!
No Waste
Once it's washed and dried, the receiving blanket is first.
The bibs are next.
Baby washclothes.
And then the strip from the end is used to make the bunny ears.
The goal is that nothing ends up in the landfill
