Fabric for BOYS!!!!!!!!!! Introducing Mabel Madison

October 14, 2014/ Suzanne Winter

Looking for BOY Fabric - I have the perfect answer - Mabel Madison!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Emily has done a fabulous job setting up a US shop that specializes in Euro knits, cord, velour, and poplin. These are high end fabrics that aren't going to pill or fade (I've already washed mine a couple times and the colors are just as vibrant as when they arrived!), that you can't find at your regular fabric shop down the road. I can already tell, you are reading and saying 'yeh yeh yeh- but what about BOYS!?!?!?'

Halloween Extravaganza Day 3: The Wonderful World of Disney

October 08, 2014/ Suzanne Winter

Disney Costumes are always popular with kids - they know the movies, they know the characters, they want to be that princess... or scampering mouse. The great thing with these movies, is that characters often have more than one memorable costume - sure there is that ball gown that you can find in every costume shop, but with a little imagination and ingenuity; you cans till capture your child's favorite movie characters and not look exactly the same as 20 other kids trick or treating in your neighborhood.

Today we'll show you a few of our Disney inspired creations, and there will be plenty more coming as the week goes on! Here are Carrie and Nicole to share Cinderella in Rags and Guss Guss, Ariel on land, and Briar Rose.

Fall Layering with Terra's Treasures

September 15, 2014/ Suzanne Winter

The temps are starting to drop, there is a crispness in the air, and every once in a while I catch a tree with leaves that are starting to change color. Fall is on the way, and we know what that means...... tedious hours spent transferring our kids wardrobes from summer to fall ;op Hahahahaha, but it also means some super awesome layering and great style. And the more you layer, the longer you can take getting that fall wardrobe pulled together.

Here are some great patterns from Terra's Treasures, and some fun ideas to layer and style them for Fall fashion fabulous-ness.
