Did you know that September is busiest birthday month of the year? Whether it's the 9th, the 12th, the 17th or the 26th, more people in the world have their birthdays in September than any other month?
If your kid superhero has her/his birthday this month, there is still time to get them something special. Turn around time on any of the pure cotton superhero outfits I have in stock is 2-3 days. And each logo can be personalised with your child's initial.

The “pirate bandana” is probably one of the most versatile piece of costume accessory you can find in my shop. A headscarf, belt, sash, or sling, its’ perfect not just for pirates but anyone from princess to maharaja.
I’m often asked which bandana to choose and my answer invariably is: it depends.
The vibrant colours like orange, lime or purple are a bit like jewels and create a pop of colour contrast for a more flamboyant pirate or adventuresse.
The beige, khaki and black ones are very versatile and give you a more elegant and subtle look.

Here is a little behind the scenes on how I achieved the 1920s look with the help of transforming a vintage sequin dress, making a bias slip dress with tassle trim for underneath, and accessorising with a rhinestone and feather headdress.

The juggle is real. All sorts of balls were in the air the past few weeks, and my social media postings fell by the way side. Life of the #mumtrepreneur, I guess.
But I'm back and hope to post a bit more regularly until at least the summer break.
Talking about being busy: this week I'll tell you about an ensemble of costumes I made for a mum of seven children! Making these oriental costumes involved lots of rich fabrics, brocades, silks, and embroidered velvets, and it was like tailoring for Sheherazade's kids in 1001 nights.

What if we could turn the wheels of time? Where would you want to go? May be a future past, where magic stones can be useful and souvenirs collected in your leather pouch. To the moon and back. Back to our childhood. Back to a world of imagination and possibilities.

As the wedding season is upon us, have you thought of how your kids can be part of the big day?
A ringmaster ringbearer? Flower fairy girls or even flamingoes fluttering around the bride? A neat brocade vest for your nephew or a butterfly crown to accessorise the girls?
Making the wedding day special for the kids won't just create memories for them, but carry on stories of the wedding into the next generation.

What makes a good costume?
As a maker and a mother, durability is on the top of my list. This tunic has been worn by several kids and their cousins and friends, and I recently rented it out with a set of costumes in a dress up box. It came back with stains of face paint, but after a wash and iron, it looked like new.
Pure linen, proper seams and finishes, and patterns that accommodate growing kids can do this and make a costume last more than one lifetime.
Have you invested in good children's clothes or costumes that last and can be passed on?

The cutest little bow tie for the cutest little Mary Poppins!

The crinkle cloud has a very soft cotton jersey beanie inside, that contrasts with the smooth, slightly metallic surface of the lycra that makes the cloud's surface. Hidden between the soft stuffing of the cloud and the outer skin is a crinkle foil, which makes an unusual sound when you squeeze and touch the hat.
What does a cloud sound like when you squeeze it? When it's grumpy? Or when it laughs? What if a garment can surprise you like a twist in a story?

🌟 Schéi Chrëschtdeeg, Joyeux Noël, Frohe Weihnachten and Merry Christmas! 🌟
Last order is posted and I'm filled with a warm feeling (and a little exhausted) to know quite a few children will enjoy one of my costumes on Christmas day.
Wishing you all a magical time of memory making during the festive season. 🎄🌟
La dernière commande a été postée et je suis remplie d'un sentiment chaleureux (et un peu épuisée) de savoir que plusieurs enfants profiteront de l'un de mes costumes le jour de Noël.
Je vous souhaite à tous une période magique de création de souvenirs pendant les fêtes de fin d'année. 🎄🌟
Die letzte Bestellung ist abgeschickt und ich bin mit dem wohligen Gefühl erfüllt (und ein wenig erschöpft) zu wissen, dass sich einige Kinder an Weihnachtstag über eines meiner Kostüme freuen werden.
Ich wünsche euch allen eine zauberhafte Zeit während der Festtage. 🎄🌟

Making memories - this is what it's all about. A good costume brings joy to the whole family, it creates memories that will last way beyond the moment your child wears it. I am grateful to all my customers - this Halloween and all the many occasions before who have sent in photos and emails to let me know how their kid(s) enjoyed their costumes. Some of these kids I've had the honour to delight with creations for many years, some are new customers, you are all cherished. Thank you!
