A little Green and Gold

This Flannel print with Gold feather stripes on Green initially looked like it would pair nicely with our Chocolate corduroy with the Christmas Trees all over... and then it was being cut

"oh, William & Mary colors"

"and Hornets"

"oooh! aaah!"

Think parades, tailgates, fall days at the stadium

and so we are making it up with gold accents for football fans and with red accents for winter holidays. Your choice.

Green and Gold, Team Colors in long overalls

Fully lined, flannel over alls with button shoulders
and functional pocket

And a play dress too!

available on our Etsy site and through custom order https://www.etsy.com/shop/WhigsandTories?ref=hdr_shop_menu

Cozy Christmas Play Dress in Fine Corduroy with Trees & Trim

We are making Little Girl Jumpers in size 1T - 4T (pictures are coming.)

Because Cats

Love this sassy cat fabric. It has splotches of orange and 

those wonderful green eyes.

This piece is a size 6/7 for one of Whigs & Tories in house

little girls. Looking forward to pictures with her and her buddy in coming days.

We have a limited quantity of this fabric.

It could be paired with coral dot for a peasant style tunic or dress.

It would make a lovely jumper to wear over a onesie. We could even add a 

a ruffle. Or more ribbon.

Orange, Purple, Pumpkins, Pompoms & RicRac

Having fun with some pumpkin fabric this week. Playing it off of some other colors and trims

this tunic with white pompom trim is a size 10
benefit of peasant style it also fits a 6-8 as a short dress

as a tunic

pumpkins, coral dot, purple ricrac

Made the pumpkins & coral dot up for our little brand rep. Looking forward to debuting her photos soon! We have a bit of the pumpkins left, if you'd like something made it up let us know! get in touch via our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/WhigsandTories or our Etsy page https://www.etsy.com/shop/WhigsandTories

Little Girl Jumper

We've tried a few different jumper patterns this fall and settled on one called "Lucy" by Children's Corner

Currently we have it made up in a lovely Riley Blake fabric in sizes 1 &2

We love this fabric because it can be worn any time of year. For Summer, wear the jumper by itself. For Fall, play up the yellows & browns. In the Winter, play up the reds and greens. (Yes there is true red & pine green in there) and in the spring you can play off the peaches & light blue. It is a dress for any season.

We just made it up in yellow corduroy with snaps at shoulders. So cute & sunny! Perfect for an overcast day.

and we are back!

In August : "I am loosing the battle for time. I feel like every woman I know feels like this around this time of year and I'm not different. I had great plans for cutting and sewing like a mad woman and some how I've been driving kids all over the East Coast instead. I wanted to sew up some school clothes for my girls and youngest son. Our elementary school follows the "school uniform" dress code, navy or khaki bottoms with collared tops in white, blue or red. I did get started but I had hoped to do so much more."

Well we've made it through August and the first day of school! The kids are sporting their navy & khaki shorts from Whigs & Tories. (we will have these available on Etsy in the early spring & late summer)

We received our first feed back on Etsy

Whigs & Tories will have space at the Hannah's Closet Williamsburg Event in September and we need to get ready!

Just signed up with Square so we can accept credit cards at the event. WooHoo.

Thanks for reading!

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!
