What's new

Well, the back to school rush is winding down and it's giving me some time to catch up on some much needed projects... yay! During the past month or so I've purchased the above appliques to add to my well rounded collection and have already started planning how I'm going to use some of them. Now to just set aside the time the bring out all my fabrics and start sewing....!

The holidays are right around the corner so I've also got to finish and post the holiday schedule for this year. Like I said previously, my hubby and I will be taking a much needed vacation near the end of October (which I'm REALLY looking forward to) so the schedule will have to be re-arranged slightly around then. But not to worry, there will still be plenty of time after that to get Christmas orders going!

I'm also starting to look around for some additional vendors to help get my future website up, running and stocked. So if anyone would like to recommend a website/store or possible idea please let me know! I welcome your suggestions. :)

What a long journey it's been..

A lot of things have been going on since my last post here... I started outsourcing my embroidery work to some local boutiques and have also been working on new patterns for some of my handmade items.

Some of the new styles for bibs and burps...

I also have some new fabrics, novelty embroidery designs and monogram styles that I'm working on uploading to my online galleries. Plus, an official CN website is in the works!

..More info coming soon..

Bibs, bibs and more BIBS!

After all my trials, washes and tough decisions about closures I've finally made it here! My new and improved pattern is a go and I will be starting to sell them in my Etsy store a.s.a.p!

These cute bibs are best sized for babies that are 9/12+ months. They measure a generous 7" from neck to bottom and are 9" wide. Total height from top button to bottom measures approx. 12 3/4". (I am also currently working on a pattern for infant bibs sized 0-6mo.)

All fabrics are pre-washed before assembly and are top stitched for extra durability. Each bib features a 7/8" button closure and absorbant terry cloth backing.

Want a matching burp cloth? Send me a message and I can make a set for you!

Here are some photos from my last test run... Enjoy!

Sneak preview bibs!

Here's a sampling of some new applique and embroidery designs that I've been working on for the new bib & burp cloth section in my etsy shop. I'm coming up with new designs almost everyday so there should be a great variety of styles once I finish testing the durability of the new bib pattern.

Speaking of testing....

So far it's going great! I've been trying out different types of closures for the bibs as well (snaps, buttons, etc) and will probably end up having a couple of different options for customers to choose from.

More later....
