JonJons in Seersucker

JonJons are kind of our thing. We love them. We seem to sell them more than anything else. We are looking forward to adding fabrics to our fabric collection but we need to sell off what we have first! So we've been cutting and sewing up the blue striped seersucker with the crab detail, the red white and blue striped seersucker and the orange striped seersucker with owl detail. We do love the critter detail embroidery!

Seersucker and Owls

I love this fabric, it is a seersucker stripe with owls embroidered on it. The stripe is orange and white, the owls are brown and yellow. Perfect for around here where we slide into fall and it is still frequently very warm. "Transition Wear" I think they call it.

and add a little touch of brown ric rac. Sweet! Cut this into a peasant dress:

and into JonJons too. Short all style because as I mentioned, it usually takes a while to cool down here.

Little Boy Crabby JonJons

Started cutting Owl Fabric this week! So cute! Going to make some more JonJon's with the owls as it seems perfect for late summer to early fall transition. It usually stays fairly warm here until late October.

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).

The Bitsy Bubble in Red, White & Blue

Bitsy Bubble from the back, love those ruffles
criss cross straps snap in front

So pleased with this pattern! It is a sweet vintage Bubble re-released with updated instructions. To be honest, the first run through took forever... but now that I've done it once I hope I will be more efficient the next time.

This is a pretty patriotic fabric, with a water color print, stars and even a little metallic shimmer. As I don't have very much this is not a preorder piece. First come, first serve on this one. The pattern is designed to fit a little girl size 21-24 lbs. to purchase please visit our Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/WhigsandTories

Memorial Day brings out the Patriot

It is Memorial Day. I come from a military family so we take the day to get together and honor those who have died in service. Which inevitably leads my mind to the next big celebration in my military family, the Fourth of July. Which also happens to be my dad's birthday. So here at Whigs & Tories we are getting our Red, White and Blue on, baking our cherry pie and feeling grateful. We hope you took a moment today to honor those whose lives have been given for this country.

Jack's Shorts

Jack is one of our inspiration's at Whigs & Tories. At 5 1/2 years old he'd prefer not to mess with buttons and snaps and so he gets his own shorts for exploring in the woods, playing on the playground, heading to the Marina and we can even dress 'em up for a date with Grandma.
