Heirloom Hanky Jacket





What a perfect way to pass on a piece of family history to another generation! Nana would be happy to create a precious, one-of-a-kind little jacket handsewn of vintage embroidered hankies just for you. Perhaps grandma left you her collection of handkerchiefs, or maybe you would like a way to display your own wedding hanky. What better way than in this charming little crazy-patch jacket for your first born.

Nana can incorporate one or more of your own handkerchiefs in a jacket custom designed to your wishes. Perhaps you would like your child's initial on the chest...or maybe granny has an exquisite crocheted lace corner to feature on the back. There are endless possibilities and color combinations, and all are beautiful!

Don't own any pretties like that? Well, Nana has a huge collection in all colors just waiting to become an adorable heriloom piece just for your little one.

The jacket will be lined in a coordinating cotton and bias bound on all edges with contrasting or matching fabric. Other design options can include a peter pan collar, front buttons or ties, front v-neck, or a straight bottom. Soft cotton flannel interlining gives the jacket comfy warmness without being bulky.

Care Instructions:
The jacket will be made of prewashed cotton and linen fabrics so it will be completely machine washable and dryable on a permanent press cycle. However, hand washing and flat drying will best perserve the life and beauty of the garment. Touch up ironing is generally required for vintage hankies.

sizes 6 to 24 months
= $75.00
sizes 2 to 6 = $90.00

M'lady's Boudoir





Your little one will look like she just stepped out of her Victorian boudoir in this precious ensemble. Created entirely of white eyelet and lace, it includes the camisole top, full skirt, pantaloons, and headband bow.

The camisole is square-necked in front with a dainty peplum at the waist. Flat eyelet lace trims the neckline and the front. Satin ribbon in your choice of pastel color is threaded through eyelet beading at the waist and ties in front. The front closure features four tiny buttons with hand-embroidered rosebuds.

The skirt is a patchwork of eyelets and laces. A comfortable elastic waist makes it easy to pull on. A wide eyelet ruffle trims the hem and can be 2-5" wide at your choice.

Beneath the skirt are the sweet pantaloons, so necessary for preserving your little lady's modesty! Using more eyelet, Nana can make the pantaloons as long or short, full or slim as you wish. The waist and bottom legs are elastic for a good fit. Tiny ribbon bows and eyelet ruffles trim the hems of the legs.

The final piece of this ensemble is the elastic headband. Made of eyelet, it features a large bow trimmed in ruffled eyelet lace which is knotted to look as if it tied up your little lady's locks.

Recyled Chic

This fun and funky outfit was created entirely from other garments. The dress is a patchwork of men's shirts in plaids of blue and green. Some of the pocket and button details were included from the original shirts, and many of the seams are frayed. The style features a dropped waist with a front button placket and a double flounce skirt. The sleeves are long with cased elastic cuffs.

The corset vest was created from a pair of girl's jeans. The fly zipper and button closure accents the front. The sides are lace-up with large brass grommets and cotton cording. The shoulder straps are adjustable and created from a vintage pair of stretchy snap-on suspenders.

This set is ready made and will fit sizes 2T-4T. The loose fit of the dress and the adjustable suspenders and lacing allow for a variety of sizes. Please check the garment measurements, though, and allow for ease for an accurate fit.
