This pattern is where it all began!! I loved how simple and easy it was to make, yeah sure, I'll give it a go! And to this day, it is still my favourtie design!! I have altered and played with the original pattern to get a dress I am happy with. Both my daughters wear their crossover tunic often, winter with leggins and a long sleeved top and in summer with just a nappy cover!!
Embellished Kids was created out of my want for something just that little bit different, something you dont see in the shops - I really dislike mass produced items not only for their inferior quality, the way they are made, the companies ethics, etc, but also because I have this fear of me or my children turning up somewhere wearing the same clothing as someone else!! I want to look different and I was mine and my childrens clothes to reflect their personality!! So I started dabbling in a bit of sewing, nothing too complicated to start with!! And I was amazed at how easy it was to create items that showed off my childrens personality, it gave them a vibe about themselves!!
I soon started putting a few bits and pieces on my personal facebook page, and people started contacting me about buying some of the items!! I began making a few pieces for other people and it soon took off!! My husband came up with the name Embellished Kids (had to get "Em" in their somewhere), I enlisted the help of my wonderful best friend for a product shoot and we went from there!! Embellished Kids was launched and we havent looked back!!
I love making custom dresses and items for people - it really allows me to customise a piece that suits them or their child!! This is where my heart lies!!
Now my range includes dresses, bibs and burpcloths, boys vests, bandanas, headbands, gorgeous flower hair pieces, boys tie shirts with a few more designs in the works!!
I have also developped an addiction to FABRIC!! But more about that later.
Stay tuned for more!!
