27 pattern pieces, three types of material, 100% cotton jersey lining, bespoke piping, sturdy zip, embroidery patches, - it's an undertaking getting your kids ready for space adventure. 😉 👨🚀🚀
I have only a few of these astronaut suits left from sizes 6 years upwards, but they are ready to ship in time for intergalactic adventure this Christmas.
... the suits comes without the helmet (the one in the pictures is a handmade papier maché one-of-a-kind piece I made many years ago), but I can recommend some alternatives. Please DM.

The sparkle is on! I hope you all had a great 1st Advent. The advent calendars are filled and the first couple of days of December have already swept away. If you are like me, you are now in a slight panic on how you get your to do list finished before Christmas. Apart from work, I'm thinking of presents, food, cards, decoration, tree, finish all the handmade things, and on top of it, I'd love to find time to muse with friends and family over a glass of mulled wine.
Well, past week, I found myself making some sparkle. A box of vintage beads and some glitter fabric made me do it. I confected a couple of star sparkling headbands that match my Christmas star capes perfectly.
Only two available (more of the capes, but only two headbands)!
They are ready to ship, like some of my other items - in case you need something hand crafted and fun under your family's Christmas tree.

Meet Mademoiselle Souris! 🐀😍
Born through play and now creating unforgettable childhood memories.
It is always the greatest joy for me knowing that one of my costumes has helped a family create a special memory, a bond between (grand-)parents and children or uncles, aunts and through generations. When stories get told and invented. When playtime turns into something imaginative, memorable, unforgettable.

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?
