Australian Handmade Kids Fashion

Here at My Sweet Prints we are big advocates for buying handmade. We are fortunate in Australia that there are many amazing Aussie creators making gorgeous, quality handmade fashion for children. Our little ones deserve to look fantastic, and if you can do that while supporting a small Australian business, then that's all the better!

Here are some pieces we found on one of our favourite online marketplaces, Made It, to help your little fashionista/o strut their stuff!

Handmade Toys for Girls

Of course it's not only little boys who love handmade toys, but the little princesses in our lives love a carefully crafted toy just like those above. Websites like MadeIt are such a great resource for finding those special handmade treasures that your daughter, granddaughter, niece or goddaughter is sure to cherish for her whole childhood, and beyond. 

Quality handmade toys are the perfect tool for the imagination and the thing memories are made of.

Here are some of our favourite: Elephant Softie | Play Cottage | Little Red Ridinghoood Doll | Crochet Beauty Set | Wooden Flower Stackables

Handmade Toys for Boys

There is something so special about handmade items. Handmade toys seem exceptionally special. Thinking back on my won childhood some of my dearest and most treasured toys were the ones made for me by my Mum and Grandmothers. 

While we may not all posses the skills to hand make toys for our children, the boom in handmade businesses means that there is a plethora of choice out there for quality handmade toys!

We scanned one of our favourite handmade websites MadeIt and found these fabulous handmade toys for boys! There's a little something for every age and taste. 

AlieM | School Of Fish | Toy Solider | Superhero T-Shirt Set | Wooden Cars

We'll be back soon with Handmade toys for girls, so stay tuned.

ACA Interview

So the interview was aired this evening!
I think I've almost gotten over the shock of seeing myself in wide screen, high definition. :)

I'm just a bit disappointed that they didn't mention (the main reason why I did the interview)... www.Madeit.com.au! I had practised my whole spiel about how easy it is to open a Made It shop, and you've got nothing loose and it's great to be apart of the Made It community but they more just wanted to show Mums and Bubs working at home.

It's a real pity as websites like www.Madit.com.au are the reason why Mums like me can start up our own little business. They have a link to Made It on the ACA site and they also have the transcript of the interview here: http://www.aca.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=1058498

Thank you to everyone for your lovely comments and support, it means a lot to me!!!

I have a few little girls to shop for in the coming months and so I thought I'd put together a little Girls Gift Guide full of beautiful Handmade creations sourced from Etsy.com and Madeit.com. I think these gifts would be perfect for a little girl of any age.

Also wanted to say a big thank you to Kristen of www.6thstreetdesignschool.blogspot.com for including my Bedtime Bus Roll Poster in her Etsy Poster Roundup today. She has a lovely blog!


I'm off to Mothers Group today for the first time in 2010 it will be interesting to see how all the other bubs are coming along with their crawling and cruising.

Have a lovely day and thank you for stopping by,
