And the new name is ....

Today is the day we're announcing the new name of the double cuff pants! Thank you very much Kristie for your fabulous idea:

Tiger Twos!

Love it! I'll be in contact very soon to see what sort of pants you'd like me to make for you!

Thank you very much to everyone who entered - what a creative bunch of people :)

New Double Cuff Comp!

Take a look at our new funky reversible double cuffs! Roll them up halfway or all the way for different looks and lengths. As your child grows, they make great 3/4 pants or even long shorts.

As they desperately need a new name, I'm running a competition. Have a go at naming the new double cuffs, and if your entry wins, I'll custom make a pair for your tot! Please email entries to: tigernautjeans (at) gmail.com. The competition will end midnight Monday 14th of June, and I'll announce the winner Wednesday 16th June. Good luck!

Check out the new double cuff stock at Tigernaut Jeans now - all stock will go live 8pm AEST Thursday 3rd June.

Hope you like them!

Gigantic!

Well, I have been a super-slack blogger of late, but I'm back into the swing of things now!



March was simply huge! Firstly DH and I saw our first live music gig since the birth of DS1 4.5 years ago! I've sworn I will do it again soon - I'd forgotten what an incredible experience it is. We saw the Pixies at Festival Hall. They were absolutely sublime - if you have the chance to see them on their Australian tour - do it if you can. I'm besotted all over again - every CD in the house is playing the Pixies! (Above is a pic of the funky bags they were selling).

Secondly it was the month of the Great Down Under Nappy Hunt (GDUNH). I had a lot of fun sewing madly to get as many outfits out as possible! Here are a couple of my favourites:

Woodstock on purple cord.

Apples on red cord.

Mushrooms on pink cord.

Owls on red cord.

From now on, I'll be working through some customs, then I'm hoping to have a stocking around mid-May, where I'll be opening up my custom list again. Thank you everyone for your support during the GDUNH - it was awesome!

The winner of our giveaway is ....

... Sarah U! Congratulations Sarah! So we can discuss what you'd like to do, please send me an email with your contact details to: tigernautjeans (at) gmail.com. (Unfortunately Facebook fan pages don't have an inbox, so I can't contact you!)

For those who missed out, I'll be running a free lottery again this year with this GDUNH, so make sure you pop in during the hunt to put your name down! :)

Giveaway time!

The Lunar Year of the Tiger is nearly upon us! To celebrate the year of our mascot, I'm going to giveaway a free Tigernaut Jeans set! The winner may either choose a free set from the upcoming March GDUNH stockings, or a custom order. To enter, please either comment here or on Facebook - and if you comment in both places you'll get 2 entries! :)

The giveaway will close at midnight on Lunar New Years Day (this Sunday 14th February) and will be drawn by my Mr. 4 on the following Tuesday, 16th February. Please check back then to see if you're the winner, so I'm able to collect your contact details. Good luck!

Thank you Funky Fabrix!

I had a fantastic surprise this evening when I received an email from Shona at Funky Fabrix, letting us know we have been featured in tonight's Friday Feature! It's such an honour to be featured by one of my favourite fabric stores - thank you so much Shona! I have some very cool retro fabrics on the way soon from Funky Fabrix for our winter stocking - I can't wait to see them in the flesh.

Before I go underground in mad preparation for the Great Down Under Nappy Hunt, I've been finishing off some customs - the first of the winter stock. This customer sent in all her own fabrics to match with our cord - I love her choices.

Jeans fans needed for testing!

Happy new year everyone!

*ETA: All testing spots are full now - thank you so much everyone for your interest!*

I'm currently looking for some little cloth wearers to help test sizes 1 and 2! I have slightly altered a feature of size 1, and some of the tots helping with earlier testing of size 2 have toilet trained :)

The jeans are ready to be posted, and the testing period will be from receipt until the 7th of February '10. Due to it being summer, very light and soft summer denim has been used for your bub's comfort.

Testers need to be full time (daytime) cloth nappy wearers - and preferably not too close to toilet training! Both boys and girls are welcome - but I would prefer size 1 testers to be around the 11/12kg mark, and size 2 testers to be around the 13/14kg mark.

If you're interested in participating, please email me your child's age (in months) and weight to tigernautjeans @ gmail.com (without the 2 spaces).

Of course, testing is totally free - all I need is your thorough and candid feedback! :D


Oh! Before I forget - I've taken 20% off summer sets on the website. Stock up for next year, birthday pressies, or just for the hot weeks ahead of us!
