Join us at the Playland Pop-up Christmas Market for a full day of festive joy this Saturday!
They'll be handmade gifts, seasonal treats, local creators, and a brilliant community atmosphere.
I’ll be there with my stall all day—come say hello!
🎅✨

Also - it's free bus travel in Pompey on Saturday, so you can hop on the bus down to the market for freeeeee! Extra incentive to come if you're looking for an excuse 😅👌🎄

Thank you to everyone that came to see me last weekend at the Christmas market at ✨🎄
It was a lovely relaxing day, chatting with interesting people and meeting fellow Southsea creatives, and getting my first tingles of a Christmassy feeling! 🥰✨

If you didn't make it then fear not, there are LOADS more opportunities for festive Christmas market shopping in Pompey coming up.

I'm going to shamelessly try and steer people towards the market that I will be at (😅), which is the WeCreate market on Saturday 6th December at Playland on Commercial Road, and which will be full of really talented local makers, so please come along and have a mooch and a mince pie!

More details on this market coming soon ☺️🎄

CHRISTMAS MARKET, THIS SATURDAY!
✨🎄✨
If you're out and about around Pompey this Saturday, or currently have no plans but fancy doing something nice, then pop along to St Jude's Church to have a mooch at the lovely Christmas market!

I'll be there with a table full of good cheer and colourful little clothes, surrounded by other fabulous local makers, trying to tempt you with our lovely creations 😊 I'll also have some of our in-stock fabrics with me, to take custom orders, so it's a great chance to come and have a look & feel of the fabrics in person

I love doing markets but haven't had a stall in absolutely ages, so it would really mean a lot to have some friendly faces come by and say hello. I might even get a packet of biscuits to share out!

St Jude's Church, Southsea, Saturday 15th November, 10am - 5pm ✨🎄

I need to let you all know about the upcoming Christmas markets, but wanted to squeeze in this cheeky little Halloween picture first, before we full-on enter the festive season!

🎃

These are the super cute Jungle Mates fabric, made into great PJs 🙌 These are age 6-7, but shown here on a very leggy 7 year old, so looking a wee bit small! (I'd always recommend measuring when possible, rather than just going with age range)

PJs are charged at the standard leggings-and-t-shirt cost, which does admittedly make them a bit pricey compared to supermarket brands, but they look and feel awesome! And are guaranteed to get plenty of wear 😁💓 (I can't guarantee a good night's sleep, but I'd like to think they help!)

(Sneaking in the Christmas market info: THIS SATURDAY at St Jude's church, Southsea! Local makers: food and gifts and all things festively lovely! 10-5pm 😊 proper post to follow shortly...)

Fabrics update! ✨🎉

For anyone interested in placing an order (or just having a lil mooch), here is my current in-stock fabric update.

There's a humongous range of cotton jerseys and french terrys, all in fabulous colourful prints - both are Oejo-tex certified 95% cotton/5 % elastane, but I'll explain a bit about the difference between the two types of fabrics below...

Cotton jersey is a super soft, super stretchy fabric, lightweight (between 200-220gsm) and with great stretch recovery, which means it's suitable for all sorts of lightweight clothes: leggings, t-shirts, baby rompers, vests, dresses, shorts, hats, bibs... You name it!

French Terry is equally soft but not equally stretchy: it's a heavier weight (mine are usually 240-265gsm) and made with a looped back rather than a smooth back, which means it retains warmth more. Its knitted base means it still has a good amount of stretch, just not enough recovery for leggings. So french terry is a good choice for baby rompers, jogging bottoms, bibs, and lightweight hoodies & sweatshirts.

Hope that helps!

Let me know if you see anything you fancy 😁

I'll be getting some new fabrics in the new year, but til then, feast your eyes on these and put in any requests!

Boom! And we're back! 🎉
Tigerboat Togs has quietly slipped into the background this past year, whilst I've been concentrating on other work, but we're back now and eager to get making, with fabulous fabrics just in time for the gifting season! (It's still too early to say the C-word 😅🎄)

I'll be putting my available fabric options up in the coming days, along with the dates of some upcoming markets - which is very exciting - but in the meantime, I've updated my Etsy shop listings, so head over to there if you just can't wait!

(I'm also always up for mooching the fabric shops for a new fabric if you can't see something you like, so drop me a message if you're after something in particular 👌)

Annnnnd lastly, if you're the parent of a little one in our good ol' city of Pompey (or nearby), then check out my sister page Tigerboat Theatre Company for a taste of what I've been up to over recent months. Lots of exciting local things for children, with more coming up! ✨

A cold February day means reminiscing about dreamy summer evenings down at the shore! 💕☀️🌊

On a side note, I just realised I haven't posted since Christmas... 🙈 Ugh, best intentions huh?! 😅💁
Me and my sewing machine are still here; I haven't had any new fabrics in for a while now, but I'm thinking of changing that soon... Until then, I still have a lot of beautiful fabric fabulousness sitting on my workshop shelves (like the glorious starry fabric in these pictures!), waiting to be made into the *best* play clothes, so if you fancy something to brighten up these grey days then send me a message 😁

(Pictured is a pair of leggings in the Starry Swirly cotton jersey, age 2-3 (so looking pretty small on this nearly 4 year old! 😅). Fabric is all Okeo-tex certified, 95% cotton, 5% elastane.)

❤️💛💙 STRIPEY, STRIPEY, STRIPEY! 💙💛❤️
Life continues to be very busy, and I keep meaning to put my Etsy shop on holiday mode whilst I catch up with life, but I keep forgetting, and catching up is a never-ending task, so here we are 🤣🙈 still open and still taking orders, including these *FABULOUS* stripey big-kid leggings, about to be sent off!
I'm a bit behind with updating fabric options on Etsy, so if you're interested in some rainbow fabulousness then drop me a message on here first to make sure I can do it 👍 to those of you that are waiting for me to get back to you about something, it will happen! 😅🙈 Thanks for your patience ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Big stripey love! ###

Head-to-toe handmade 😅❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
(Well, except for the socks and trainers!)

Rocking out the dockyard in her Breezy Dress, Party Pants and Lightning Leggings, with her DIY paw patrol Ryder jacket!
Such a stripey-legged cutie 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Three cheers for the fabulously colourful Bright Jungle fabric! 🌿🌿🌿
Those of you who saw me at markets over the winter might have heard me going on and on about this fabric 😅🙈, but that's because it's brilliant! This print has all the things I love in a fabric - a dark background, super bright colours, busy pattern, cool illustrative style, lots of coordinating colour options - and of course, a super soft, great quality Oeko-tex certified base fabric👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

It's great for rompers, sweatshirts, lightweight hoodies, joggers and shorts, and is great for matching outfits as well, as there are plenty of different colours that look great with it so there's loads of options for linings, cuffs and neck bands to differentiate. This lovely outfit is a romper in 12-18 months 😁 currently winging its way to a little child for their first birthday!
