A NEW DIRECTION

After nearly four years creating handmade bed linen and accessories, my desire to expand the range of Pollykinz Designs products has grown.

Allow me to introduce the new boy's handmade clothing collection - Muddy Boots by Pollykinz Designs.

In consistent with the Pollykinz Designs style, the range is comprised of modern, fresh prints and striking colour. All products have been designed to ensure they're comfortable and practical for busy little boys.

Follow the Pollykinz Designs Facebook page to stay up to date as new styles and products are added to the collection over the next couple of months.

HAND PRINTED LOVIN'

Perusing fabric samples is a daily pleasure for me - whether it's for a custom order or my own designs, I really love seeing the variety available.

However, I must admit, the fabrics that I keep coming back to time and time again, are beautifully hand or screen printed. They simply tickle my fancy.

The prints are bold, striking, simple and have a wonderful 'handmade' quality to them. The differences in each cut or panel of fabric gives the printed designs character and ensures they are completely unique.

Towards the end of last year I decided that in 2013 Pollykinz Designs was going embrace the concept of 'handmade' to the fullest extent and utilise hand or screen printed fabrics in my own designs. I have begun with a cute new range of Alien Softie Toys! I am ultra excited to also note that the beautiful bright red car fabric and cute little fairies are both produced by Australian designers - Sprout Design and Saffron Craig.

Whilst this is only the beginning of my endeavour to incorporate such beautiful fabrics into Pollykinz Designs products, it has meant I have discovered a fabulous world of hand and screen printed fabrics from designers across the globe, and increased the number of "Oooo, that's pretty!" cries heard coming from my work space.

 

GETTING TO KNOW YOU

Welcome!

After several years of sewing my little heart out and creating Pollykinz Designs, I've decided to start blogging and share with you what inspires and shapes my world.

First and foremost, my greatest inspirations - my house full of boys. Trucks, trains, cars, all things farming and mud, glorious mud! Our beautiful home is set on a small farm, surrounded by bigger properties. The space, the clean air and dulcet tones of sheep bleating, is the lifestyle we love - I cannot think of a better way to raise my little men.

Another passion in life, which quite often follows through to my designs, is colour. From simple neutral tones through to bright and bold palettes, colour (to me) represents our inner self - and I love it! My house is painted in greens, blues, greys and sandstone hues, and my garden .... well it's only new, but one day, vibrant it will be (as long as mother nature is kind and it rains!).

A visit to the Pollykinz Designs website is the fusion of all that I find beautiful. Creating gorgeous handmade products for other mummy's and their little ones brings me great delight, and I cannot wait to share more with you over the coming year.
