[making baby clothes???]



Remember that baby shower I made invitations for? (see previous post!) Well...I was talking with the new mom and dad to be a couple weeks ago [steve & kimi] about how the majority of baby clothes are pretty generic and how should I say it...just plain "baby" looking...WHY can't babies dress hip too? So, after our conversation, I decided I was going to try and make baby landon some cool clothes.

With the help of my friend Kevin who owns EMBRACE APPAREL [www.embraceapparel.com...check it out-such great stuff!!!] I picked up some pieces from American Apparel to play around with. Steve & Kimi love the mid-century modern look so I found some leftover fabric I had in my craft closet (yes, I have a craft closet, ha), dusted off the 'ol sewing machine and went to town!  It was SO MUCH FUN making them and creating unique little pieces of art...so much fun that it has sparked an interest in making this into a little side business!! Steve & Kimi loved the clothes so much that Kimi, the marketting MASTER, is helping me create a business plan market them to local boutiques and shops through out the Long Beach/L.A. area!

NOW, I NEED YOUR HELP!
We are trying to think of a name for the line and COULD USE YOUR HELP!!!  Baby Landon's nickname is TURTLE and since he was the inspiration behind this project starting, it is only fitting that the word turtle is in the name...AND I want to keep the mid-century modern look...any ideas???? 2 free onesies if your idea becomes the new name!

this is so much fun :)-------enjoy your day!
