Handmade children's clothing, perfect for cloth bums whilst being mindful of the impact we are havin

07/08/2026

Over the last 6 (omg it's been nearly 6 years 😱) of HBE, I've not only been busy sewing, but I've also been busy collecting designs.

I've got loads more designs than you've seen on my clothing so far!

Over the years I've got so many amazing designs from talented artists, and while some have made it onto my handmade clothing, many are still waiting behind the scenes for their chance to shine.

So I thought it would be fun to start sharing some of them with you.

Over the next few weeks, I'll be showcasing designs you've never seen me use before, and I'd love to know which ones catch your eye.

Pop what themes you'd like me to cover in the comments, and I'll see what I can dig out over the next few weeks.

Hooray, fabric from the last preorder has landed and I'll be getting your orders made up over the next few weeks. If you'd like to be put on a reserve list for any remaining fabric, let me know in the comments below as I may have a little bit of some left.

Looks like I may be putting in another fabric order in the next few weeks as well, so if there are any themes you're after, also let me know and I'll see what designs I can dig up for you.

Did you know that my FB group is also for selling your preloved HBE bits?

I've just uploaded a load of stuff we've grown out of here, and I think there are still bits available from other customers as well.

Over at HBE we wear a mixture of second hand and new clothes. What do you do?

So what do you think?

Will it mean more people see me?
Will more people interact?
Will it get HBE out to more people?

Let's see what happens.

Still in love with this Claire Macmenemey pirate dino design. It really is suitable for everyone and even though it's white, there is plenty enough going on to hide those signs of adventure (yes we've tested it with mud previously 🙈)

I've got a bit of this left in stock, so shout if you want anything as it won't be around for long given how quickly it sold out last time.

Finally found some time to do some sewing! This panelled skirt was a custom request and I just love the unique hem like it creates.

If you have custom requests, I'm happy to talk them through with you and work with you to create your perfect outfit.

Help, I've got nothing to wear!

My outfit has been adopted and is heading off to its new home... which means I'm now standing here with absolutely nothing to wear!

My friend has already got their summer wardrobe sorted, but I'm not convinced summer is really my look.

Should I go for an autumn vibe?

Or am I more of a winter wardrobe kind of mannequin?

I can't decide, so I'm putting it to a vote!

Help a poorly dressed mannequin out! 😂

PS if you're wanting to adopt an outfit, you can find all my ready to post items on the website.

When you reallllllly want to sew so you start super early and it's already pushing 27 degrees in your sewing room.

I have a little bit of these gorgeous beach huts on rib knit left if anyone would like it. Perfect for summer tees

It's Wednesday again and I've been receiving loads of lovely photos of your little ones in HBE outfits, makes me very happy every time I get a photo!

If you've purchased from me before, I'd love to see your photos. Whether it's from last week or last year, please share them below or tag me.

Don't forget you can also join in over on my FB group.

☀️🔥 SIZZLING SUMMER SPECIALS ARE COMING! 🔥☀️

The many UK heatwaves have clearly gone to my head and I've been busy behind the scenes planning something a little different for the summer...

Starting next Tuesday, I'll be bringing you 8 weeks of Sizzling Summer Specials – a brand-new handmade offer every week!

Think:
✨ Limited-edition makes
✨ Scrap-busting creations
✨ Exclusive deals
✨ One-off colour combinations
✨ Ready to post clear-outs
✨ Customer favourites

Every Tuesday there'll be something new, and once that week's special has gone, it's gone!

As a handmade business, I hate seeing beautiful fabric scraps go to waste, so many of these specials will be created using the colourful offcuts and remnants that make my colour-block designs so unique.

The best bit? You'll never quite know what's coming next...

Make sure you're following me and keep an eye out next Tuesday for the first Sizzling Summer Special!

Hands up if you're excited for this 👐🏽
