There is an old saying – if you want something done, get a
busy person to do it. Well it certainly rings true for me.

Not content with my already busy regime of being a working
mum with two small children, giving my time to my local community, blogging
about everything from my family life to creations for my owlets and sewing my
extensive range of children’s clothes and toys for my small business, I decided
to expand my business further.
New gorgeous shirred dresses |
At the beginning of January this year, Bridie formerly of
Little Magnolia Button has joined the fold of Lil Pip Designs. We live only
about 10 minutes apart which makes sewing days and work ‘meetings’ very easy
but most of all, she is an incredible person and I’m very excited to be
working with her.
Bridie has two gorgeous children – a two year old girl and a
newborn baby boy. She has been creating some new, gorgeous creations
specifically for babies through to toddlers which has allowed me to explore my
long desires to cater to older girls and most of all … boys!
Girls clothes are very well represented in the handmade
world, but I have always thought about what I could make that would be perfect
for the little men in our lives. My seven year old son is quite discerning in
the fashion sense and has been giving me lots of feedback – not always good!
I will share more photos later but this shows how easy these boys shorts are to wear |
Of course, working in marketing in my day job has meant I
had to get all my ducks in a row (there’s another saying!) before I could
announce our new adventure. Bridie and I have been madly working on a new range
which we share with you now and will launch at the Huckleberry MarketExtravaganza on Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 March and the following
week at the Maribyrnong Makers Market, Saturday 22 March.
While I am expanding my business, I am hoping that this will
actually mean less pressure on me during the busy market period which will
allow me more time to do everything I love.
So I hope to see all my old customers and my new ones at one
of these markets to see the new Lil Pip Designs in person!
Gorgeous Bridie and me (after wrangling all the kids for photos, we were exhausted!) |
We will be bringing you more sneak peeks in the coming weeks
of our new range.
So very excited to have joined Lil Pip Designs <3
