The kids informed me that apparently yesterday was World Jellyfish Day 🪼, so I had to put together this quick mockup of a new fabric I just got in! It is a soft and stretchy 95% cotton/5% spandex jersey fabric perfect for dresses, tees, leggings, and skirts.

These images are just mockups, so exact print size and placement will vary based on item size. 📧DM me for details or if you'd like to order!

The art is hand-drawn and the mockups are done with manual software - never fed into AI.

Have been really enjoying making this drop shoulder sweater with color-blocked back! This specific item is for one of my kiddos, but I have a bit more of this fabric left if anyone wants a custom in a specific size!

DM me for details. Price ranges from $38 - $55 for kids sizes. Adult sizes also available.

🌲 Winter Sweater Preorder! 🌲

One of my favorite fabric suppliers is releasing this tomorrow! Five color options with trees or as a solid. Fabric bases include a gorgeous French Terry and a super soft and squishy Waffle.

I have used this fabric many times before for kid and adult sweaters/hoodies as well as sweatpants/joggers. I love that the kids can match, but still choose their own colors and textures! The weight of the fabric is perfect for the coming cool weather and is very breathable.

The fabric is 100% organic, milled and dyed in the USA, and compliant with safety standards for children's clothing. The French Terry is 100% organic cotton, while the Waffle is 95% cotton, 5% lycra.

📧 DM to Preorder! 📧 I think the pink 🩷 and navy 💙 is going to be *very* limited, so I would need to know ASAP if you would like those.

Prices:
Kids Crew Sweater: $40
Kids Hoodie: $50
Adult Crew Sweater: $70
Adult Hoodie: $90

I made this 🍓 tunic and shorts set 3 years ago now, but it is still one of my absolute favorites! I have to preorder this fabric by end of day tomorrow, so let me know if you want something made with it!

Since the fabric still has to be manufactured, I wouldn't get it until mid July, so sewn up items would be ready late July or early August.
