Behind the Seams

Maxaloones (aka grow with me pants) are amazing pants that - you guessed it - grow with your child! They have an adorable bum circle meant to accommodate those cute little diapers bums, as well as foldable waist and legs bands. Wearing them is super simple - just fold the bands to use them on their smallest size, and as your child grows you can unfold for some added length. We spend enough on clothes for our little ones, why not make them last for as long as possible? Please see description of each photo for sizing and availability. Custom orders are always welcome, just send us a message with your print/colour combination (or fabric request if you're looking for something not pictured). Pants can be made without the bum circle if extra diaper space is no longer required.

Just wanted to share the Christmas album for anyone interested in seeing some examples of the stockings and Santa sacks. These are all photos of items I have custom made; some can be recreated depending on fabric availability.

This fabric alphabet is great from the early baby stages right up to the kinder years. With only 7 months left to get those little ones ready for school, why not have a little fun while learning the alphabet? Unlimited pattern/theme possiblilites! Send us a message to lock down your custom made set today :)

Sometimes you just need to add a little handmade love to your store bought sweater.

Memory pillows are made from loves ones' articles of clothing. Though they are usually created from a button down shirt, they can be made from a variety of other items as well. I have used sweaters, pajama pants, shawls, and even a bath robe! If you're looking to have one made, send me a message and I will do my best to create a pillow out of your item.

Thank you for your continued patience as I get these Christmas orders out! Working away all weekend and this coming week so message responses will be delayed as I need to stay away from Facebook and stay focused :)

I am definitely feeling the love heading into the Christmas season, so to show my appreciation for my amazing customers, all in stock bandana bibs are now on sale for $5 each. Wow! They are regular $7 each, so the more you buy the more you save :) Get them now before they're gone!

I seriously have the best customers! Thank you all for your support and just for being so amazing :)

Time to get your Loones! Regular price $32, now ON SALE for $28 each (plus shipping if you require) !! Lots of new prints added to the knit album, but please pay attention the the description.

Just wanted to send out a quick thank you to all my amazing customers! I truly have some of the best clients, you guys understand the busy mom life and realize that I am human too. Please bear with me as I may take a little longer than usual to answer any messages during the Christmas rush. I am so appreciative of all the kind words about my stockings and Santa sacks, and just wanted to put a reminder out there to get your orders in this week as I will be putting in my final ...fabric order this weekend to ensure there is time for it to arrive and for me to have all items in your hands by the beginning of December. In addition to the holidays I also have my daughter's birthday in December and would love to have some quality family time this year, so goal is to have everything out as early as possible :) I could never than you guys enough for your support, but I will definitely try. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! See more

I'm such a sucker for puns !

Just posted the October Specials! Album is pinned to the top so make sure you check it out. Lots of fall/halloween prints available. Bandana bibs, bowties and headbands (more to be added soon!). Make sure your little one is ready in their fall accessories :)

This past weekend I got to celebrate this little beauty's first birthday. It's been such an honor to watch her grow from the moment she came into our lives way too early at 25 weeks and only 1lb 8oz, to the beautiful and healthy 20 pounder she is today. Not only did I have a great time at her party, I had a blast making her party outfit. Definitely one of my favorites, and so happy with how it turned out! So today I send out a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my first and only niece Abby. We love you baby girl. You have defied all odds and brought so much love and happiness to our lives.

New product alert! Tula suckpads :)

Something blue, something new. Something custom!

Adding a name patch to this cute little jumper gave it the awesome touch it needed :)

Happy Birthday to a special little guy who absolutely loves firetrucks!

I almost don't even want to post this as the photo does NOT do it justice. This onesie came out better than I could have imagined. Mama came to me wanting her girl blinged out, and that's exactly what she got. Super classy colors with just the right amount of rhinestones give this little princess the sparkle she deserves :)

But how cute is this little guy in our custom made Mickey outfit!? Cake provided by Sugar Drawers (whose cupcakes are mighty delicious I might add!)

OK you'll have to forgive me, I didn't get a chance to take a proper photo before sending this one off, but it's too darn cute not to post! Custom lace ruffle bum diaper cover and lace bow headband. Cannot wait to get photos back from mama for this one :)

I am melting. So happy that I could provide the tutu to this photo. Baby girl is absolutely beautiful as it is, and looks absolutely stunning is this outfit. Thanks for sharing mom! Photo credit to Jennifer Bel Photography

These twins will definitely be the best dressed pair at their birthday!

Sent off a beautiful tutu to a precious new baby girl today. Newborn photos tomorrow are going to be so cute! I cannot wait to see these :)

We are going to have one stylish baby girl coming home from the hospital in this hat. Absolutely love this.

I know I am biased but I'm pretty sure I have the cutest niece in the world. Love this little girl to bits and she's the perfect little model for my new knot headbands :)

If you are looking for something to do this weekend you should stop by the Ajax Community Centre! I will be there along with tons of other great and unique vendors. And if you already have plans for your Saturday morning, you should cancel and come anyway :)

Thank you to everyone being so patient with me while I get all my photos uploaded :) I have a few more fabric photos to take and then the last batch will be up. I think I can now admit.... I am officially a fabric hoarder! I have a problem lol maybe a sale to clear some of it out?! Make room for some new patterns? Stay tuned!

Welcome everyone! I have been posting on my other page for a little while now about re-branding and here it is! Facebook likes being difficult so I was forced to create a whole new page instead of converting the old one. I will slowly be adding all photos and info here so please be patient with me, and most of all, invite all your friends :) We are not just about babies anymore, I have tons of new and exciting products coming for all of you this year. Some personal items for moms and dads, as well as some home decor products that I am so excited to get posted. Keep your eyes peeled and thank you to everyone who has stuck by me over the years :) You guys keep me going!
