Just for fun ... a little competition!

Hmmm ... what could these be?


I have a 3-pack of fluffy red sherpa wipes to give away! (They're a remnant, and the fluffiest sherpa I've ever seen!) Let me know in as much detail as possible, what the items in the above photo will look like once they're finished. Please email your answers to me at tigernautjeans (at) gmail (dot) com.

The competition will be open until midnight Monday 16th November '09, and I will draw it the following day. If a number of people have guessed it correctly, I'll put those names in a random generator to draw the competition. I'll notify the winner via email, as well as publishing it here. Good luck!

Oh! And one last thing! In an effort to clear remaining stock before our next stocking in a couple of weeks, I have discounted everything remaining in store to 15% off until midnight Saturday 7th November. Happy shopping!

Customs

Just a couple of customs I've finished up today :)

This set is ready for a swap with an awesome WAHM :) The pockets and cuffs feature Alexander Henry's Canyon Flutter Pink - a gorgeous new fabric that almost looks like it has been hand painted in parts.

And these are for a little man on his way up! The pockets feature (of course!) Echino Scooters Aqua.

Rain!

We've been hearing news in Melbourne of rain in other parts of the country (particularly Tassie), and now we're seeing some of our own. After so many years of drought, its blissful to hear rain on the roof again - lets hope there's lots more to come. This is a photo of the gorgeous Cherry Plum tree in our backyard.

The kids and I are slowly adjusting to rainy days inside - something I've rarely encountered in my (almost) four years of being a parent. Off to the library for a stack of new books today!

Coming up ...

I have two random listings almost ready to go up, featuring my favourite fabric designer - Etsuko Furuya. I'm just waiting on t-shirts to arrive so I can make them into sets :)

I can assure you there will be lots more Etsuko Furuya coming up - his imagery and colours are so striking and beautiful - its hard not to be swept up in his designs. They lend themselves perfectly to children's clothing - particularly denim.

Size 1 shorts featuring Etsuko Furuya's Echino Scooter Aqua.

Size 0 shorts featuring Etsuko Furuya's Echino Migratory Bird Pink.

At the moment I'm finishing up some pre-orders and customs, then as soon as that's done, size 2 testing will begin. I'm really looking forward to starting - I can't wait to upsize!

Hello again housework!

Well, the September nappy hunt is done and dusted! Congratulations to all hunters - I'm in awe of your patience! Best of luck with the prize draws :)

Congratulations also to berniebabe, who won our first Tigernaut Jeans lottery - she will receive a free pair of jeans featuring Jennifer Moore’s funky Monaluna Metro Market Apples print. Thanks to all who entered - I definitely have more lotteries planned for the future.

On the sewing front, I've just finished my first custom pair of pink cord Tigernaut Jeans! As much as I love my denim, it was such a delight to sew with such bright colours.



PS: The 15% hunter's discount has been extended until midnight this Sunday, 4th October. Enjoy!

Summer is here!

A bit of a belated post, but the start of our summer stock is up! Its been a lot of fun making these shorts with some great summery prints - I can't wait until the warm weather starts in earnest.

Next week I'll be putting up some semi-custom pre-orders, so you can make the most of your Nappy Hunters discount before September ends!

Happy Hunting for those still on the lookout for icons - only 8 days to go! :)

Zoo Cool

... and Talking Mushrooms - (my apologies for this photo refusing to sit up the right way!)

Summer goodies on their way :D

I've been finalizing fabric selections for our summer sets, and thought I'd post a couple of sneak peaks! I can promise you that these shorts look great over baby leggings - my youngest has been relying on these to keep his legs warm while modeling for me in our freezing Melbourne Spring! Our shorts (unless otherwise specified) are made from a butter-soft 100% cotton denim - cool and breathable - perfect for warm weather!

For the girls :)

... and a cheeky monkey!

And ... last but not least ... pink cord! (Thanks to the suggestion of two Nappy Addicts :)) I pounded the pavement between Melbourne's fabric warehouses on Saturday only to be told I'd never find pink cord this season! Well - pink cord drought or not, I managed to find some on my last stop for the day! Its 100% cotton and gorgeous - a beautiful bright, vibrant colour. I also picked up some deep purple and baby blue - I'm looking forward to getting it washed and sewn up :)
