Afternoon Jelly Babies

So I am currently in the process of setting up my own website/business! 

I graduate in November so I will have a foundation degree in Fashion Design which is super exciting and I've been let into the big wide world! How scary!!!!

Anyway... I have a Facebook page, you can find me here.

I have instagram for my brand too - you can find this here.

And I even have Twitter, I don't use this as much as I maybe should but I'm working on it, find me here.

I am using GoDaddy to create my site - so far it has been really great to use, very straight forward and technophobe friendly! - I'm really liking it. It has been a little slow so far with progress as I have recently got a new job and I've been working a lot but I'm getting there. By new year I'm hoping to have it complete.

I will post updates and pics for you guys - not too much obviously I don't want to ruin the grand unveiling haha!

Here's some pics so far...

HOME PAGE

My sister being a good sport and modelling for me - she's now my in-house model! So you will be seeing that little face a heck of a lot!

Home page again - promoting the KAkids costume line.

You've all seen the mouse - keep your eyes peeled for more cute critters! I have named the collection after Bella - Bella's Dress Up Box and it will feature lots of little outfits, mainly animals but I'm going to throw in a pumpkin, a ghost, maybe a bumble bee and some other idea's.

I made her a princess dress of Christmas last year from a basic children block so may even make them in lots of colours! I have lists and lists of ideas for my site and no time to make them all!

Category list. 

I have LOADS of subcategories too for all the different sections and garment types, but I've changed the setting so they don't show on the drop down menu - otherwise you're scrolling for about 20 minutes to find KAkids.

What do you think so far? Let me know your thoughts! :)

I don't want to show you too many of the categories actual sections because then you will see the actual garments and products and that ruins the surprise! 

I will be making a blog post on a few bits I make but they won't necessarily be on my site - just yet anyway! The items on my site are my design and I make 99% of my patterns myself, toile them and amend anything, and I make all the final products myself also! A one man, mini sweat shop! With occasional help from my Mum, well because she's amazing!! :D 

XOXO

P.S It's 64 days till the big C!!!

The Gruffalo meets a mouse!

Hi there Jelly Babies

I'm back with lots of adorable pictures of Bella in her mousey costume! 

- She is the most beautiful little mouse ever!! 

I used Butterick 3772 - you can get it here- I used age 3, pattern A.

The ears are a polyester and wool mix felt from Calico Laine and the centre's are made from jersey.

She is too cute!! 

The costume is a little difficult to explain - I found it in the wool mix, weighing section in Abakhan but it feels like a faux fur. But it is super soft and a lovely, light grey colour so who cares what it is! Again the belly is pink jersey and the shoulders are fastened with shiny, silver jersey press studs. 

This is off my Instagram - And my absolute fave! 

Selfie of me as a mouse for you ;) 

IT IS 77 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS FOAKS!!! 

XOXO

Hey my little jelly babies! 

So I've been sewing - Hoorah! 

My boyfriends gorgeous little niece Bella is having a Gruffalo day at big school on Thursday and so I  have been in charge of making her a costume - she's going as the little mouse! 

Me and my lovely sister-in-law Natalie went fabric shopping and found THE softest, grey faux fur/wool mix type fabric from Abakhan the other day and I was so excited to get started! 

The ears are genuinely bigger than her head! Ha
It also does have a little tail which you can see in my next post!  

I sadly didn't make this into a tutorial - I got very carried away but I can let you know the important bits. I used the Butterick 3772 pattern ( get it here) in aged 3 - she is 4 but she's very petite and this fit perfectly. 

I only used about half a metre of the fabric - properly even less.

For the ears I used felt and the belly and ear insides are pale pink jersey. Oh and you'll need some elastic for the hem too! Honestly I don't think I even used 30cm.

The shoulders also have shiny, silver press studs - I think they're actually 'anorak' fasteners but I thought it was a cute touch to the suggested buttons! What do you think?

I will post more pics on Thursday - or I will try to.

I'm going to take it to her tomorrow so I will have lots of cute mouse piccies and more close ups too! 

Let me know what you think - Or if you've been making anything similar! 

XOXO
