A crafty little atelier in a grey city

Kid Fashion

September 19, 2012

Today I sketched some imaginary outfits for K. I love miniaturized grown-up clothes using sophisticated colors, shapes and fabrics. It’s so easy to end up with garish and overly cutesy when it comes to kids’ clothes, and that’s probably why I gravitate toward patterns from Japanese craft books. The models are styled so simply and evoke a sort of nostalgia. Very lovely.

I also love Oliver + S, and I recently discovered Figgy’s, featuring fun, modern patterns for kids. I have a few patterns in my stash from both and can’t wait to try them out in the coming weeks! I’m also taking part in Elsie Marley‘s KCWC for the first time! So excited!

Thinking of all the Mama Bear-ish wonders out ther Thinking of all the Mama Bear-ish wonders out there, giving so much to surrounding creatures big and small. I often feel like that little prickly hedgehog inadequately but heartily offering up a single stem of gratitude. So much love for mothers and maternal figures everywhere! 💕💕💕💕#happymothersday
