Farmyard Adventure ... part 2

This is the other half of the RoarKiss 'Farmyard Adventure' collaboration from this month's Gossamer Dreams. Check out the Cherub's Kiss blog for the matching nappies :)

And the winner is ...

Random number 11 .... Anna from Howie & Charlie! Congratulations!

Please send me at email at tigernautjeans (at) gmail.com with you address so I can send your prize out to you! :D

Girly give-away!

Being a Mum to 2 boys, I need some goss on what girls love to wear!

I have up for grabs a pair of size 2 Tigernaut Jeans made in a gorgeous Sevenberry fine cord, with pink Matryoshka pockets.

To enter, simply tell me what you'd like to see for girls from Tigernaut Jeans this year (winter or summer). Do you want to see more jeans? Or more skirts? Which fabrics and prints do you prefer? I'd love to hear!

I'll draw the winner at 9pm (Vic time/AEDT) on Sunday night :D

Call for size 3 Testers!

Finally the size 3 testers are ready! (Remind me to never plan sewing projects again in the school holidays!)

I'm on the search for reliable and honest testers! The tester jeans are ready to post, and the testing period will run for 2 weeks after they're received. Although testers are full length jeans, they are made with light weight denim (considering we're in the height of summer!)

If you are interested, please send an email to: tigernautjeans (at) gmail.com by 8pm tomorrow night (Monday 31st Jan).

Please let me know in your email:

- Which size clothing your child is mainly wearing at the moment.
- Whether you child is toilet training (or able to try the jeans with both cloth nappies and undies).
- Whether you own a pair of size 2 Tigernaut Jeans shorts or jeans (for comparison). (Although I understand this may not be possible).


Thank you in advance for your help!

The Marieke Skirts ... and Gossamer Dreams

When I found out our Gossamer Dreams theme was 'Eden', no fabric better summed it up than Kristen Doran's 'Peacock Garden', which features sprawling flowers, and beautifully detailed peacocks (pictured above). I wanted to show it off as best I could, and after lots of scribbling and experimenting, I came up with the Marieke Skirt. It is fully lined, and made from the softest and lightest denim you'll ever find. The decorative panel extends the full width of the front panel, and when the wearer moves, you can see more of the fabric.

I hope you like it! I have 3 for sale at tonights Gossamer Dreams - stocking at 8pm EST.

Scandinavian Trees

I'm also very excited to have collaborated with Mel from Beetlebums to create a matching Scandinavian Trees set of a gorgeous (as always!) Beetlebums Pocket Nappy and size 2 Tigernaut Jeans shorts set. All proceeds will go to flood relief, and the auction bidding begins at 8pm tonight.

Vox Pop! Tigernaut Jeans beyond toilet training ...

For those who have children that have toilet trained, I would love to know how your Tigernauts fit 'on the other side'!

I'd love to know:
- The age and approximate weight of your toilet trained child.

- How you rate the fit of Tigernaut Jeans shorts or jeans after toilet training (too baggy, baggy but wearable, great fit or too tight, for example).
-Also, if you have older children, I'd love to know how long they can be worn for! (My 19kg 5 year can fit into DS2's size 2 shorts!)

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

... and Gossamer Dreams roundup!




I just had to take a shot of Mr 2 (nearly 3!) with this new bolt. It just so happens that he loves denim as much as his Mum! Perhaps I have a sewing recruit in waiting ;)

We've had our last Gossamer Dreams stocking for the year, and I thought I'd post a few pics of what I got up to. Gossamer Dreams will be back in the new year on the 15th January, 2011.
