Bell bottoms!!



So I've been creating some new items this week in readiness for my market stall on Sunday. So, new to my range, are long pants. So far I have made size 3, but can make any kids size. These ones are for girls, due to the fabric, but the same style is suitable to boys as well.

The purple ones are so cute and flowery, and I've folded them over so you can see the pocket on the back.

But I am just loving these brown ones, which I made with the cutest bell bottoms! I've taken a photo of the back view to show the contrasting pockets. I will definitely be making more of these, and my girls will definitely soon be seen about town in large flared trousers!

So, as most of you probably know, I am having a market stall at the North Melbourne market on 28th February from 10am-2pm. I've been sewing up a storm, and thought I'd put up pics of some of my latest creations.

Of course, there are some of my favourites, the pleat front dress. The yellow one is made from vintage material that I was given by my Nanna. The green is the same style, but a newer fabric. Both are in a size 3 and are $35. (Green one has been sold)

Next are some "spin out" skirts (my daughters love these!). The pink & purple one, and the brown & blue pinwale cord floral skirt are both size 2-3, while the blue one is size 1. All are $25.

I have a couple of new onesies, suitable for boys, as well as new "girls" onesies. These are $15 each.

Also $15 is the black "emergency" t-shirt, in a size 3.

Some of my current faves are these great bibs, which are made from a vinyl fabric (so spills can be easily wiped off), with a felt backing. The large bib is great for "older" eaters (1 year old +) as it covers the whole front of them, while the teeny ones are for bubbas. Large are $13, small are $9.

We recently went on a family outing to the Zoo. Unfortunately we were a week too early to see the new baby elephant, but the girls still had a great time looking at all of the other animals. Looking at the photos later, I realised that we'd had a bit of a Lauralai day too, with all 3 of us girls dressed in handmade Lauralai clothes - the girls in their pleat front dresses (which finally fit them!), and me in my own twirly skirt.
