Anna Jumper - This One's For The babe!

I'm starting to design the next line for the tots. This is a pattern in progress for a little girls dress. A simple, no fuss A-line dress for the little one. It has a tie-on shoulder ribbon for fastening. This dress is for ages 6mths to 7T and will be in production soon! Watch out for it in www.ilovetreasures.com!



And this is the finished prototype:



It's made of 100% cotton with very avant garde stripey print! It doubles as a jumper as well for wear in the colder region. Team it with a cozy black turtle neck and black warm tights, and oh, a cute little mary janes of course! Voila! You have chic and preppy tot in the winter!



I'm Going A Little Dotty!

I cannot resist polka dots! They are so fun and yet can be a sophisticated look. I love the red polka dot dress here...the design is classic and elegant (think 40s era) with a dash of dotty fun! Simly love it! The shoes are tres chic et flirty! I think it makes you think soda-pop fun in the 50s!

It's A Girl!

Just wanted to share a very happy moment...I'm going to be a proud auntie to a niece, once again! Yep, my sister just found out the other day that she's pregnant with a baby girl... aww.....so sweet! I'm already designing the little one's christening gown... I know it's still early days but hey, why not?

Now, the good thing about it is I am so much more inspired to design our baby/toddler line! Girl outfits are such fun to design and create because the possibilities are virtually endless. Bows, ribbons, sweet-coloured motif fabric, buttons, yes, buttons! I have started making them on my own now. They are fabric covered buttons! They are so addictive to make! Basically I use leftover materials from making clothes and use them to make the buttons so that it will match the main outfit... I think it will be nice to have a matching button for the tots!
