Boy's hoodies are on their way!

Due to popular demand we're soon to be in the business of boy's clothes! So in light of this exciting new venture, we need a name for our boy's line of clothing....and we need your help!! Put your creative hat on and come up with the best name for our new collection and you'll win a boy's hoodie in the size of your choice (sizes 6 months to 5 years). Email your entry to georgiascloset@gmail.com by June 20.

Aside from this exciting development, I've been super busy organising Georgia's first birthday party and making her jacket to wear on the big day....this got me thinking about what's practical for kids to wear to parties. Aside from the fact that they're likely to get ice cream, chocolate and cake all over their gorgeous party clothes, you also want them to be comfortable and not pulling at their clothes all day....or worse taking them off!!

Opt for nice, soft fabrics to suit the weather (soft cottons in summer, cord or denim in winter) and preferably go with long sleeves in winter so you won't have to chase after your little one with a jacket all day - have you ever noticed kids hate wearing jackets when it's 10 degrees outside?

For colour choice, obviously avoid white wherever possible, printed fabrics are great because they don't show stains as much - and you're more likely to spot your dearest running off if they're not wearing something common like black, blue, red, pink etc....which is where I put my sales pitch in about our new hoodies - made in cute, designer printed fabrics they'll keep him warm, it can be dressed up or down and you'll spot him a mile away since he'll be the best dressed boy at the party!

Have fun and stay warm.....and don't forget to enter your name suggestion before June 20!

Georgia's Closet now has a blog!

Welcome to Georgia's Closet. We create handmade clothing for babies and children aged 6 months to 6 years. It all started when I decided to make a couple of simple dresses for Georgia. At the time being on parental leave still, I had some spare time and wanted to see where sewing would take me. After a couple of successful projects, I decided to see if I could sell some of my creations and so Georgia's Closet was born. I started by creating Georgia's Closet's own Facebook fan page and came up with a few principles......

I only use designer fabrics in all of my creations, I only make things I would happily dress Georgia in and I never make the same item twice. I think that with all the mass produced stuff out there, parents want to dress their little ones in something that reflects them and has been made with care and attention.

I'm constantly looking out for new ideas for my next creation. So I'll be throwing my ideas around and would love it if you let me know what you think. I'm particularly looking to expand into boy's clothing (lots of family and friends are asking!) so let me know what you want in a boys range and I'll get onto it.

Follow Georgia's Closet and if you like what you see you can shop with us by emailing georgiascloset@gmail.com. At the moment we're only small and so we don't have a website up and running but stay with us and we will hopefully get there. I also intend to get to some boutique markets towards the end of the year so stay tuned for that.
