I'm a big fan of repurposing, but not such a big fan of sweatshirts! 

So, I thought it would be a good idea to turn this pink sweatshirt into a child's dress.

I gave it puffy sleeves and added a fun pocket made from recycled, 

floral cotton for "Elaphant", the little stuffed elephant to live in.

I distressed the dress, by adding bright green, raw stitches. 

It's a dress that can be worn in the summer or winter and will fit a 3 or 4 year old child.

$45

This is a jersey wrap skirt that I made from a vintage tea towel, apron, t-shirt and napkin. 

All combined they have made a super comfy little wrap skirt . 

 Complete, with a pair of Australian crimson chat birds, deep in conversation, or perhaps just having a chat!

 This wrap will fit a 3 to 6 year old.

$40

This skirt is both vintage and modern.  

I used vintage fabrics and have given this skirt some modern flare, using 50's design.

I've layered fun, blue flowered fabrics and tied them together with a fun, looping, fabric belt. It is a stretchy, slim fit, below the knee. This skirt will fit a 4 or 5 year old.

This bright, happy little skirt is from vintage material and comes with two big pockets with tons of room to fill with curiosities. A pretty little two toned, crochet flower adorns one pocket.

This skirt will fit a 7 to 9 year old girl.

Garden Dress

***Saturday, December 3rd, 2011***

This dress will fit a girl sized 4. It is below the knees and has some cute touches. First, a lovely flower embellishment that i've recycled from a vintage tea towel. Secondly, a delicate chain of vintage, leather, canadian flowers, including trilliums, held by pink bows. There is also a friendly little lady bug! 

Chain with flowers is removable.

Button Bands for Sale

***Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011***

We got chicken pox in the house!

Yup, the big one has a nasty case of the pox, poor dear.  We'll see if in two weeks, the little one gets them too.  No fun!!

All of the following button bands are for sale.  I've shot each from both sides

They are $25 dollars each or $20 if you buy more than one.  

Some have a more stretch than others, 

so it would be a good idea to convo me if you need one with a wider wrist.

Hands Up Baby

*Tuesday, November 15th, 2011***

Dale, my partner, has convinced me that it is time to start advertising my Button Bands.  

He's probably right.  So, I'm going to start up a facebook page where I can list new ones, like these and list available one's here and on etsy.

While these one's are all sold, having gone to "Dragonfly" in Brighton, new one's will be created daily.

Sewing up some spook time

***Wednesday, October 26th, 2011***

So, what were you up to last night?

Me?

Just having a "I'm a fabulous mommy" moment, as I sewed up a costume for my little Lone.

Can you guess what she is?

Why, she's the "Queen of The Crows"!

She said a lot of grandmothers and grandfathers pointed at her and smiled today.  (Her school went in costume gear, to the local old folks home)

It's pictures like this one, that I will force her to view, when she thinks I suck in the future.

Things...

Are almost never...

What they seem...

Always look for the fairies.
