Singlets and Onesies




And again, here are some more items - singlets and onesies. There's really no limit to what can be done with these, so I've tried out a few different styles and designs on different sized singlets and onesies. My favourite though is the grey singlet with teal embellishments - I love the colours.

Singlets & Onesies are $15 each - please contact me at lauralai76@netspace.net.au if interested.

Bibs




As promised, I'm now uploading some photos of other products I've been making. Here are some bibs which I recently made. They are all double sided, and have a thick towelling layer in the centre to avoid any spills going through to the clothing underneath. These are large size bibs, suitable for toddlers, but I can also make them in smaller "baby" sizes.
The yellow bib doesn't have the towelling layer inbetween, as the top layer of this (the spotty side) is a plastic material, so it can just be wiped clean.

The bibs are $15 each and can be made to order. Please contact me at lauralai76@netspace.net.au if you're interested.


Some recent "made to order" items

I've been asked recently to make a few items for people, so here are some photos of those.
Hope you like them!






Alice


I decided to make an Alice in Wonderland costume for one of my girls to wear this Halloween, but it's far too big (this pattern is really gathered, but was quite difficult to adjust the sizing, so really it's suited to a 3 year old), which means she won't get to wear it until next year. Aside from the size issue, I was quite happy with how it turned out though!


More items to come!

As well as the dresses which I've already posted, I've been super busy making bibs, blankets (both fleecy and flannelette versions) and singlets/onesies. I'll post pictures of these very soon for everyone to check out. I will also post up price lists for all items shortly, but in the meantime if anyone is interested, just contact me via email for pricing, postage details, etc.


For sale

These are some dresses which I've made to sell.

The first 3 are pleat front dresses from an early 1970's pattern. They are to fit size 2.
There is a blue dress with lace detail on the front. The first green dress is made with vintage 1970s fabric and yellowish buttons. The final green dress has a "dill" pattern on the fabric.




The next 3 are a pinafore style dress:- pink floral; denim with Japanese lady; and the final one is made with vintage kimono silk on the front, and a matching purple fabric for the back.
These dresses ar
e for age 12 months (although my girls wore these until up to approximately 18 months).






The final 2 are for age 6 months and have a gathered yoke neck. The blue one is made with sweet vintage fabric. The denim one has contrasting orange pockets and stitching. This dress pattern is from the late 1970's.

Dresses for my girls



Here are some photos of dresses which I have made for my daughters - although they don't fit into these yet!! I really love the red dress (photo shows front & back), which is made from a 1960's pattern, and buttons up along the back.
The brown dress with the denim back is actually the same pattern, but the sleeveless style and made in a longer length. This will be great in winter as well, worn with tights & a long sleeve top underneath.
This greenish floral dress is
also made from a vintage pattern, from early 1970's and I just love the pleat up the front and the button shoulders.
