    PLAIN JAYMES

    May 21, 2010

    plain jaymes specializes in simple, stylish and unique baby and children’s clothing and diapers, all handmade with love, by me, in the USA. The store evolved naturally once I discovered I loved designing and sewing things for my now (almost!) 2-year-old daughter–and shortly thereafter realized she didn’t need dozens upon dozens of my mommy-made items in her closet. And so, plain jaymes was created as a fun way to share my love of sewing and finding adorable fabrics you won’t find in department stores.

    Visit plain jaymes at www.plainjaymes.etsy.com and check back often for new items!

    SALE!  Mention Mom Made That! in the comments section on your order and I’ll refund your shipping!

    PICKY STICKY

    February 10, 2010

    Picky Sticky’s are stickers you simply stick to your clothing and take a picture.  It’s a cute and creative way to commemorate milestones, whether it’s a birthday, holiday, special event or simply watching your little one grow!  We will help you save time money and the Earth by replacing your custom made one time use T-shirt with a Picky Sticky.

    The idea for Picky Sticky started with my daughter Macy, each month since Macy was born I printed a sheet of paper that stated her current age, sat it next to her and took a picture.  By the time Macy was 4 months old she kept grabbing and knocking it over, it was hard to get a good shot by the 5 month it seemed impossible.  So late one while tossing and turning the idea a decal came like a flash and Picky Sticky was born.  At the end of the year we had a fun collection of pictures that really showed how much Macy changed in just one year.

    The stickers look like they are part of the t-shirt and give the feel of a custom shirt.  Decals for children commemorate “month days” and “Birthdays” and decals available for pregnant mothers honor the weekly milestones of pregnancy.

    Petit Couture

    January 25, 2010
    Petit Couture is a premium children’s apparel brand that combines fashion with social-mindedness. Having encountered a significant lack of fashionable, socially-minded children’s apparel for her own kids, Rebecca Kaykas-Wolff, founder of Petit Couture, decided to do something about it. Petit Couture uses sophisticated designs, embellishments and colors that mama and tot both love and all Signature Basics layette and playwear separates and sets are sourced and manufactured in the USA.
    Petit Couture’s design style came about primarily due to the lack of elegant and whimsical layette and basics options in more sophisticated color choices and embellishments.  All of our layette basics are in black and white interlock cotton, with additional color combinations out this Spring. Our burnout and thermal Ts are a cotton blend with distressed fabric treatments. Our signature owl creates the main visual interest on each garment with other signature details like our grosgrain ribbon (black with white detailing) and rhinestone embellishments (white crystal and black crystal). Our end desire is that our garments balance the elegance and beauty of an item you may see in a letterpress card shop with the fun urban-influence of rock n’ roll styling.
    Petit Couture retails for $24 to $60 USD with gift sets ranging from $55 to $125.
    View the collection and shop at: http://www.petitcouture.com.  Also, keep up to date on the latest and join the discussion with Petit Couture on Facebook and Twitter. http://www.facebook.com/petitcouture and @petitcouture.

    Babycapes Review & Giveaway

    February 25, 2009

    ::GIVEAWAY CLOSED:: Congrats to Erin Tales!

    I know you have heard me say, many times before, that moms are the best inventors, and they truly are. When we see a need for a product, we just create it! I love that moms are so innovative, and I LOVE the mom-inventedBabycapes!

    I have a confession. From the moment I first visited the Babycapes website, I fell in love with the product. I have secretly wanted to review this product for LONG time, and was so blessed to finally receive the opportunity to test a Brown Suede Sherpa Babycape on my one year old! Why are Babycapes so great, you ask? Well, let me share some information with you:

    • Simple design is quick and easy to put on and take off
    • Overlapping back flap allows easy access to car seat straps
    • Can be put on or removed while child stays secure and undisturbed
    • Easily used without altering car seat, stroller or front carrier straps
    • Covers more of child’s body and extremities for warmth
    • Child stays warm without feeling confined
    • Front cozy for tucking in babies’ feet or older children’s hands
    • One size fits newborn to preschooler
    • Super soft, luxurious fabrics
    • Machine wash and dry
    I believe the best, and most important, feature about this product is being able to buckle my child into his car seat, without a big coat on, and just placing the cape over everything. According to the National Highway Transportation Authority, you should “always remove bulky clothing or blankets before you place your child in the seat.” The Babycape makes it much safer for your child to travel by car during the cold months, which, alone, makes it worth the $39*-$59* investment. I tried it out on a cold day and it took little effort to buckle my son into his seat, and then drape the Babycape over him. Not only was he super warm and safe, but he looked adorable!

    Babycapes are assembled in the USA, and are made of super soft fabrics. I love the suede on the outside of my Babycape, and the inside fabric is so warm and cozy-it’s like having your favorite blanket wrapped around you! There are three fabrics to choose from-Minky Sherpa Suede (heaviest weight), Minky Marshmallow (softest fabric), and Minky Cuddle (lightest fabric). There are two slits in the front of each cape for older babies or toddlers to have their hands free, which worked well for my son to drink his bottle and play with toys while sitting in his car seat. One size fits all, so you don’t need to buy a winter coat for years! That, too, is worth the investment.

    Can you tell I love Babycapes??? Want one for your little one now? Then, please visit www.babycapesonline.com and order your own! They are currently having an awesome Amercian Economic Recovery Sale, so you can receive a GREAT DEAL if you order now.

    I would like to thank Babycapes for letting me test out your product, we truly appreciate it!
