Something for the Boys!

All too often, a shopper passes by our market stall, admires the pretty things we make for little girls only to announce, "I have a son.  What do you make for boys?".  

Now, both Sliz and I are mothers to little boys and we know how frustrating it can be to see lots of lovely things for the girls and nothing great for our sons.  We quickly realised that we didn't want to be the kind of label that produces only girly things.  

So, I offer to you, kind blog reader, the first of our outfits designed with boys in mind.  We think our karate tops worked out beautifully and just as good if you were taking your boy to a wedding as they would to a more casual affair.  We looked long and hard to find the right kind of fabrics for boys, which proved to be a real challenge.  We finally found a few fantastic ethnic style prints, plus some great vintage style fabric featuring classic cars and planes.

To match, we have these fantastic trousers that roll up to become a pair of shorts.  They stand alone, really, (although not literally) because they could be worn over and over with any matching shirt or bodysuit.  They are absolutely perfect for crawling, as you can adjust the turn up so that your baby's knees are covered, or not, depending on your preference.  The fit is lovely and roomy, so there is plenty of room for a nappy - cloth or disposable.  Both of us have a Helter Skelter baby who tested this trouser design for us when they reached crawling age and we give them a gold star for performance.


As with our apron dresses, layer the top with a long sleeved t-shirt and your shirt is as good to wear in the winter as it is in the summer.  As for the shorts, just roll the legs down and you have a pair of full length trousers.

Now that I've convinced you of their masculine charms, take another look.  They'd look pretty sweet on a little lass too, don't you think?  If only more girls' outfits could make that claim.
