BOGO Sale!

Babytopia has been taken over by leg warmers! So I decided to run a sale to make room for new items! Now until March 21st, all of my leg warmers are buy one get one 1/2 off! I have lots of cute styles in stock and a few more to come!

Of course, this will most likely be a re-occurring event, since I absolutely LOVE making these! They're so addictive that I have to remind myself to work on other things to keep a variety in my shop.

They're such fantastic little additions to a child's wardrobe though, since they last for years. Babies can wear them all the way up to their thighs to keep them warm and make diaper changes and potty training a breeze. Toddlers can wear them around their lower legs as cute little fashion statements or to keep their legs warm traveling to and from dance lessons. They can also be worn as arm warmers by older children! The options really are endless with these!

I think my sewing machine is calling me!

23 days...

...until the first day of spring. March 21st! That day also marks my daughters first birthday! While I'm not looking forward to her birthday because this year has gone by far too fast for my liking, I'm dfinitely looking forward to the end of winter! The Chicagoland area has gotten the most snow this year since 1978! I can only remember a few days this winter where there wasn't snow on the ground. Now, don't get me wrong, I love snow, but everything in moderation, right? I'm hoping that the winter that we've had isn't an indication of a blistering hot summer, but even so, I can't wait for warmer weather!

Custom nursing cover

I recently made a custom nursing cover for a friend from the Bradley childbirth class that I attended last year. I think it turned out so beautiful, and is by far my favorite project since I opened up shop! I just love the fabric that she chose and how tidy the whole thing turned out! I had so much fun making this and hope to have opportunities to make more in the near future!
