Little Sparrow



A little while back I crazily considered producing some children's clothes like these reversible dresses....


..and this pinafore...


Encouraged by family and friends with children and grand children, looking for handmade and ethically made clothing, I have started "Little Sparrow" clothing for babies and toddlers.

My daughter, Rhonnie, came up with the name based on the little applique I hand sew onto all the clothing.




Both of these reversible dresses sold at the Steiner school this afternoon when I dropped off our CSA boxes. Both were bought by grand mothers for their little grand baby's. I guess I'll only continue while ever it's fun and it's certainly that at the moment!

  5. They're beautiful, Kate. I don't know where you get the time. Good luck with your new venture. I have a feeling you're going to be doing a lot of sewing.

  6. Oh how pretty - you have a real knack for matching colors. I sewed a little dress for my granddaughter last weekend and put a pocket on it - I forgot how much little girls can strain pockets, so it is back with me for re-enforcing. :)
