The "Little Patriot" Collection

We've had some cold days here in Virginia with some late snow flurries but it is finally starting to feel warm and we are looking for our late spring into summer collections. We love the "Little Patriot" collection. Light and airy seersucker in red gingham check and red, white and blue stripes transitions beautifully from spring to summer. Perfect for kicking around the beach, crabbing in the bay, visiting the Grandparents at the golf resort or a picnic in the park these easy pieces go any where you want to go. Sets include a ruffled diaper cover. Custom inquiries are welcome.

The "Little Patriot" collection features sweet Red, White and Blues for Patriotic Celebrations. Applique and RicRac add to the design and no two pieces are exactly alike.

Because Pink & Hearts

pink and green, hearts, trim, inspiration

pink cord overalls size 18 months

Loving playing in the studio on the cold evenings. No matter that it was warm yesterday. It was brisk today and these sweet little corduroy overalls would have been perfect! We love pink at Whigs & Tories and we love hearts. So sure, Valentine's Day is coming but hearts look sweet on little girls (and big girls too!) any day of the year.

Our first Custom Order - Cutie-Pa-Tootie Shorts with pockets

so a potential client found our Cutie-Pa-Tootie Shorts and requested them in Navy and Khaki *with pockets* and I said "sure, no problem."

As the originial pattern doesn't include pockets I'm kind of winging it. I found some help here:

http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2013/03/adding-hidden-side-pockets-to-anything-skirt-pants-shorts-etc.html and I wanted to give credit where credit is due as it is helping immensely

First attempt a little messy.

Trying again...

Much better!

they've been mailed to their new home. I hope the little girl who receives them is happy with them!

Cutie-pa-Tootie Shorts with Ric-Rac

I made some fun shorts with this red, white & blue fabric for my girls to try out the pattern. Added a rolled hem & some ric-rac. People loved them. So I made up a few more and took them to Sugar & Spice on Richmond Road in Williamsburg. Sugar & Spice specializes in consigning gently used children & maternity clothing (and additional items. strollers or cribs for example) But the store owner agreed to show some of Whigs & Tories pieces too.

ric-rac trim is super cute!

The Cutie-pa-Tootie shorts can also be found on Etsy. I have enough red, white & blue fabric to take one or two custom orders for sizes not shown (up to size 10).
