Little Harvest Shop!

We have just launched an online Little Harvest Shop at present it features a limited range of our products.So cast your eye on the shop from time to time, as we are currently working on two new ranges. A range of baby blankets, bibs and bed linen on some amazingly soft organic jersey.
And an entirely new range of fairytale costumes on organic cotton, screen printed by us of course.
You can below we have finally sorted out our labeling by hand printing our logo onto herringbone tape.  We are also working on our paper labeling which you can see on the Sleepytime Wheatbag Softie below.  I'm thinking of getting Jess to do a label making tutorial for the blog let me know what you think?

We have been waiting patiently for the fabric to arrive all the way from India for our new range. Here are some pics of our storemen and packers receiving the goods. What would we do without them?

Mathildas Market

Here are some pics from the Mathildas Market, we had a great morning launching some of the new range, check out how cute the new handmade bat softies are....

 

The bats are made by Jess Wright using old army blankets from the 1940's. And the little sleepy critters are actually wheat bags that you can heat up whenever you feel in need of a warm snuggle. Also in the new range are Emma Byrnes beautiful handmade felt crowns, for  little kings and queens. Keep your eye on the horizon for new costumes and toys cos they are just so much fun for us to make!

Mathildas Market this weekend!

Little Harvest is having a stall at the Mathildas Market this Sunday the 14th of March at the Hawthorn Town Hall,360 Burwood Road, Hawthorn ,9am to 1pm. There is plenty of free parking at the back of the Town Hall.
Above is a taste of some Little Harvest goodies you can find at the market.
There will be lots of new products at the stall including linen dresses, toys, crowns and my favourite... softies that are actually wheat bags to keep the winter chills away. As well as the t-shirts and hemp dresses you have seen in previous posts. We hope to see you there ....

Something blowing in the wind.....

Late last year I started printing t-shirts using some drawings that I had loved for a long time under the label Harvest Moon.

Since that time the label has grown and changed....
The first change being the name which is now Little Harvest with a new font to match, there has also a new section of the label called Harvest Play which is just  as fun as the name suggests!
The second big change is I am now working as a team with Jess Wright and Emma Byrnes  to create products and run textile classes.
As a trio we make a dynamic team and bring many different ideas and skills to the table.
Its been refreshing and inspiring working with these two very skilled ladies with so many good times ahead of us.
All three of us are all mothers and lovers of  handmade textiles.
We all appreciate the limitations we have as stay at home parents to put our ideas into action but between the three of us we can lend each other a hand to help make those ideas into a reality!
Its sometimes hectic and there are some very late nights, but there are always a lot of laughs to make it worthwhile.
Yesterday we did a photo shoot at our weekly Little Harvest meeting it was one of those hectic moments when you realize the whole family is running the label together!

Rose St Photos

Here are some pics from The Rose St Artists Market stall that we had yesterday.It was my first ever market and I had a really fun time!

Thanks to the helping hands of Emma who made beautiful badges from vintage fabric that looked oh so good on the new dresses and tops. And for helping me create the jigsaw of wooden box's and pieces of dowel that became the stall.

Thanks to Jacqui from 'Bear' for making her fantastic bibs that were such a hit with all the customers, and my bubba loves his too! And to my new seamstress Kim who is just magic... she is producing the new dresses and tops for us, the ones pictured are all made from a cotton/hemp blend.It looks and feels like linen but doesn't crush as much.Good for busy little ladies who like to look and feel good.
