I like very much your patterns and I ordered the first one, sandbox.

But I have 2 boys, no girls, and I find it's sad that we do not find many pattern for the boys, always for the girls!!

Why no pairs of shorts? Shirts? Sweats?

Please, make something for the moms of boys!

I'd love to work with my daughter and get her to understand why this doesn't go with that but it does with that, and how to have fun with your clothes while making sure they're pleasing to the eye at the same time! Mostly she just wants to wear pink, pink and more pink - and then add in a bit more pink just to make sure. Sigh. If you could fix that issue for me so I could dress her in brown as well I'd be eternally grateful! ;) Do you discuss those sorts of principles with her as you're choosing the clothes?

I find that many people stick to solid colors too much. Get a little courageous and have a few mixed prints. Perfect style she has. Don't ever let her grow out of that! Darling outfit.

And what a gorgeous girl, Liesl :)<br /><br />I have to admit it makes me feel slightly better that you don't make all of S's clothes. I'd love to be able to do that for my children but there's just so much to do in so little time. Ah well, baby steps! Cute outfit, S! And what a gorgeous girl, Liesl :)
