Before I began creating childrenswear, I actually was making small dog tshirts!
I have been sewing children's clothing for years now, once in a while making a dog outfits as gifts, but recently found my entire range of patterns. I've updated my work as my skills and knowledge of knits have advanced, they're even more wearable now.
Photographed here by the first professional photographer I ever worked with, Jennifer Anderson.
As always, the numbers are found, not ironed onto the tshirts.
I am always looking for more numbers!
More numbers as I find them, and a special birthday print in queue.

Got a custom request? Let's talk! Start here.
My aunt used to send me my cousin's old hockey jerseys to re-sew. Recently I ran across an entire rack of them and began brainstorming styles that could employ the mesh, which is a bit rigid and slippery.
Plaid patterns are always appealing to me, and I especially love wool blankets. I gathered a few woolly skirts and pieced them with the hockey mesh as the lining:
Girls size 6, I was even able to put it on comfortably so it should fit for many years!
Fabrics have previously been machine washed and dried, you may want to dry clean.
