New fabric for cot quilts & bumpers

Don't you love a good 'find'. Doesn't matter if you're after material, an outfit, or just a nice ripe avocado - a good find certianly lifts the spirit! Yesterday's hunt for some new bedding fabrics hit the spot.

Hopefully over the next few weeks you will see some of these gorgeous fabrics appear as cot duvet covers, bumpers & sheets. All available at our store on http://madeitbaby.co.nz

Hide & Seek in the Rose Garden

Auckland is blessed with the most gorgeous rose garden open year-round to the public. I know there are people out there who are blessed with a green thumb & can grow these beautiful blooms, my mother-in-law is one of 'those' people, but I have to make do visiting the Parnell Rose Gardens to get my fix of the delicious smelling flower in all their glory.

Saturday afternoon was our first trip of the year to the gardens. We had to time our visit just right to ensure the gardens were empty of all visitors there to appreciate the flowers in a meditative, quiet state. There is nothing quiet or demur about our visit to the gardens! The flowers tower over my two girls (4yrs & 2yrs) & they love nothing more than to race around the winding paths, squealing at the tops of their lungs, getting completely & utterly lost.

Hide & seek with littlies is funny at the best of times (you know, they bury their faces on the couch, bums in air & think you can't see them because they can't see you!) - but hide & seek in a rose garden is especially trying when you have a princess of a daughter! Our dear Tia would be all excited to seek the 'hiders' ... she'd take a couple of fast strides & stop short to smell another glorious flower that happened to be at nose height. And try as we might to tell her that the petals on the ground aren't really a 'clue' that someone has left like in the storybooks, she insisted on collecting each & every one!

So much fun!

Can you guess what my theme of this post will be? Yep, handmade creations for kids incorporating flowers, flowers & more flowers!

New fabrics for little girls...

A sneak preview to the newest range coming soon! There is another colour in this range - but we need to have some secrets.

Dresses, tops, bedding and baskets - it's time for this vintage print to become all it can be. So keep your eyes peeled!

Bunting, Baskets & Bedding....

It seems it is the season for decorating bedrooms! We have been inundated with orders and enquiries for our bedding, bunting and baby moses baskets.

Bedding: from cot duvet covers & bumpers to sheet sets - we are always happy to try something new. Or latest designs have included boats and cowboys for the boys and girls designs are still to come.

Bunting: add to the theme with something special just for your little one. Personalised bunting adds the perfect touch - kids just love to see their name on the wall. Great for kids who share a room too!

Baskets: our maize moses baskets with 100% wool mattresses are the perfect first bed for baby and can be tied in together with the other items by using the same fabric themes (as the basket bumper can then be used in a cot).

New applique designs arriving soon!

Whoo-hooo .... check out the latest owl singlet and nappy covers for boys!

Such a cute design - just one of many new appliques on their way this season.

There will be crocodiles, babushkas, crowns and much more - so be sure to keep an eye out!

Sail away to dream land little one....

Well, here it is - the long awaited sail boat set. We are delighted with how it has turned out, and will be making more items to tie into the theme shortly!

From moses baskets to cot sets, wall art to bunting and even a matching sheet set - this has it all. We will now be aiming to make full sets available in our favourite fabrics so that everyone has the option of a stunningly co-ordinated room.

There is some of this fabric left which is listed on the site - check it out!

New Year....New Products!

Welcome to the new year and many new creations for Made it Baby!

I have been working on a customer order for some cot bedding over the break, a duvet, sheet set, bumper, bunting etc - we have a fantastic boat print chose by the customer - to be accented with a stripe print in the same colour palette. I can't wait to post pictures of the finished products - which will hopefully be ready to send out next week!

My youngest decided she would 'help' mummy with this sewing exercise, and set about creating a boat scarf out of scraps she found on the floor.

Suzan and I will be hitting the sewing machines again shortly - after a wonderful and much needed break - so there will be many new designs arriving 'instore' over the coming weeks.
