Introducing: Little People Slings

Our first 'Little People' sling is done -  this one is in a classic Mei Tai style, and it's reversible! It will be added to our ever expanding 'Dress Up' line.

100% heavyweight cotton with double-thickness straps, this can be worn purple side out or cream side out and on the front or back, just like a Mama/Papa sized Mei Tai. It also has cream stitching details on the straps and body. This size of Mei Tai will fit children from 2 until 5 easily. 

We'll be making these in a variety of different colours, using gorgeous cottons, some new, some vintage, and of course, would be happy to make them in any colour or size required. Also, we'll be adding details like pockets and personalised embroidery - beautiful little doodles, and names too!

We will also be making a ring-sling style Little People carrier very soon in heavy cottons again.

Ms Ava has been carrying her teddies around and giving them big cuddles. These days she is a regular MamaMake model - luckily she takes payment in snuggles. 

Introducing: MamaMake's Pixie Hat

Every week, (maybe more, if we're feeling prolific!) we'll show you something in detail from our current line - ether something new or something currently on sale.

Today, we have added a beautiful Pixie hat to our MamaMake knits - these are knitted with 100% pure merino wool, which means it is completely natural and so very soft. These have a strap which fastens under the chin with a lovely button, and there is a little point at the top, ensuring your Little looks every inch the Pixie in this lovely little bonnet.

Pixie hats and Elf hats? Now all we need is something faerie like and we'll have a whole range of magical woodland hats to offer!

This weekend, Kendal will be working on a 'Dorothy' dress from The Wizard of Oz, since that is Ava's current favourite film (and she demands her yarn basket and a dress on, everytime she sees it!). If it goes well, it will be added to our 'Dress Up' line.

(See? Dress, basket, Wizard of Oz...)

Sam is currently designing some gorgeous Fairy skirts inspired by the flowers of each season, which will also be part of our Spring Dress Up line. More details on that to follow.

And since Ava's fairy costume (picked up for a couple of pounds at a Summer car-boot sale) had to be thrown out, we are also working on a very simple, Waldorf-style fairy costume which may even have silky wings attached!

Keep a look out for our Tea Party Dress, too, which is our signature Spring Party dress and will be added very soon (as soon as we can find where it has gone. Ooops!)

Aside from all of that, we will also be adding two different children's slings as well. One will be in a Mei Tai style and one will be more like a ring sling - perfect for carrying dolls and teddies around. They will come in a range of beautiful prints, some vintage, and are totally customisable too.

Pictures and details to follow this weekend!
