Olive grower, cream Africa, 0 to 3 months

So, here's the first of the olive growers. What do you think? I love that it's not white!

Price: R120

Designer labels

Today was a big day for for Crazy Aunt. The fabric labels I've had printed arrived, just in time to send them on to the small factory where our very first custom-made growers (body vests, is the correct term) were cut. They'll be sewn tomorrow and on Friday, and I take delivery on Saturday. I'll have stock of some growers in chocolate brown, denim blue, pink, cream, stone, and a few polka and stripe ones too. Watch this space!

Colours of happiness

How exquisite are these colours?I've been looking for growers like these for over a year, and have such fab ideas for designs with the fabric I've collected. I have these growers in size 0 to 3 months, 3 to 6 months and a few 6 to 12 months. Anyone want to put in an order? I can't wait to get sewing!

Cover up

So, this is me. Hard at work in what was once the spare room at home. Marc took the pic yesterday morning – it's for FitPregnancy magazine. No, I'm not pregnant. But how's this for exciting: a Crazy Aunt design will be featured on the *cover* of the June/July issue of the mag! And there'll be a blurb and image of a grower or two on the shopping pages of FitPregnancy. How fab?

PS The fabric hanging up behind me in the pic is one of my favourite pieces. I bought it a few years ago and haven't come up with the perfect use for it (a skirt? Cushions? The lining of a winter coat?). So it's a wall hanging until I make up my mind.
