May 7, 2009 by Kris Thurgood from youcanmakethis.com · Leave a Comment
I happen to be in the know about something. I’m not often in the loop and was tickled to have an insider’s view into what the upcoming trends are in kids fashion for summer after putting together some creative writing for a major upcoming children’s fashion show. So, of course, I feel it’s my utmost duty to pass on this little tidbit of information, not only because I want you to have fun sewing for your kids, but also it just so happens that youcanmakethis.com has many patterns that fit what’s hot this season!
Many of the designers I interviewed as part of the kids fashion show project are mixing bright, bold colors this summer. Color is the ticket, from bright pinks and greens, to bold patterns and everything in between. This colorful pallet, however, is being created into classic pieces.
Classic is good because it means a single piece can usually be worn many different ways. Still in style this summer are summer style and A-line style dresses, peasant style tops and yes, the ruffle pant! Also, something new and unique is the ruffle Bermuda-type short. Similar to a ruffle pant or Capri, this shorter version offered two layers of ruffles right above the knee. Along those lines, city shorts and gauchos paired with a peasant top and button down vest was featured as a modern twist for girls. Keeping in line with simple style, fabric headbands are making a big splash in pretty patterns, which offer a really easy way to liven up any outfit.
City chic and bohemian styles seem very prominent this year as well, so if you plan on sewing a few pieces and want to stay in style, try out a favorite wide leg pant and a few peasant tops in brighter colors…have fun by mixing pretty prints and solids. No matter what, remember to try something new and have fun!
Topic Talk—Holiday Shopping
November 25, 2008 by jyl johnson pattee · 2 Comments
Enjoyed GNO Monday night? Had fun getting to know other GNO Gals? Here’s a way to get to know them even better… through their blogs.
Give it up for these GNO blogesses for giving us a great start to our holiday shopping season!
- Barb at The Coupon Cupboard
- Cindy at Mom Maven
- Cori at Notes of Complicated Simplicity
- Debbie Delicious Baby
- Mamanista
The Coupon Cupboard offers great advice for eBay shopping. New to eBay? eBay veteran? You’ll love this post.
The holiday crunch is right around the corner. Don’t let this become another year of scrambling for gifts and paying much more than you have to. If you’ve never tried eBay before, now is the time!
Some shy away from eBay just because they’ve never tried it before, some have heard horror stories about items paid for and not received, while still others have preconceived notions that eBay is too confusing and not worth the effort. Not so! Buying on eBay is easy, you’ll save money, and best of all, it’s fun!
Mom Maven promotes gift-card presents, but also includes some fantastic watch outs
for using them.
…Complicated Simplicity talks about one of her favorite traditions—Black Friday:
Black Friday. You either LOVE it… or HATE it.
For me? Deal hunting is a year round sport and in my family,”Black Friday” is not just a day to shop …its a day of tradition! We look forward to it all year long!… I’m serious! It’s right up there with Christmas…and why shouldn’t it be? Next to getting shoes, handbags or diamonds … getting an amazing deal is one of the few things in life that puts that twinkle in a gal’s eye…. and actually getting a deal ON shoes, handbags or diamonds? OBVIOUSLY, the ultimate Utopia.
Delicious Baby provides terrific tips for traveling with children this holiday season. This was one of my favorites:
Blue Painter’s Tape
My articles on 10 Reasons to pack Duck Tape when you travel and Babyproofing using blue painter’s tape were so unconventional that they got a lot of attention when they were first published. If those don’t convince you to pack a small roll of tape, consider the fact that BlueTape is endlessly fascinating for toddlers, and a great way to make a (removable) race car track on your hotel room floor.
Mamanista, in the hottest toys for 2008 section, reviews many great products that promote “creative pretend toys,” such as this one.
Play tents create special spaces for their little occupants. My mom used to toss a sheet over two chairs and this simple cave miraculously transformed into whatever I could imagine. If you are looking for something more substantial, your little one will love the Gigatent Fantasy Palace Play Tent (Amazon – $48). Another favorite is Le Cafe ( KB Toys- $40).
