You've all seen the pictures of my willing model, Dylan, and the inspiration for SweetBottom sewing. Last Friday evening, I attempted to squeeze my sweet little 24 pound 9 month old butterball into a cute seersucker embroidered Jon Jon. Let's just say, it was akin to trying to shove a king size pillow into a standard size pillow sham. Neither of us enjoyed the experience but it got me thinking......I can sew - make my own "husky" sized cotton dress John Jons and Long All's.
For those of you who don't know what these are, they are
wardrobe stable for any little southern boy. Crisp cotton, gingham, seersucker summer fabrics or
corduroy for the winter, these comfortable sleeveless outfits are a classic. But they don't come in husky sizes! I have always felt that adding Jon Jon / Long All offerings to my customers was essential for my online business. In due time! However, in my research for wholesale blank distributors, I have not been able to find a company that can provide these with a little "extra room" in the midsection.
Check back often to see my progress. If you know of any one who might need something like this , send em' my way.
Ahhhhhhh.....Summer time! The fresh green grass, blooming trees, the lawns filled with azaleas, tulips and hydrangeas. There is nothing like Summer in the South. As soon as the thermometer hits 65 degrees, we break out the flip flops and seersucker. Sure it may be a sterotyopical thing for us to do but I'll let you in on a little secret.......Southerners don't like cold! We live for the summer months where the hot sticky summer air forces you to the shade of an old tree and the comfort of a ice cold glass of lemonade. Fishing in the stream, swinging on a tire swing, catching fireflies in a mason jar... Bring it on! I'm ready - are you? These new sets are just perfect for the hot weather headed our way. Embroidered with some classic initials or a beach critter, this new Jon Jon can be made reversible with two coordinating fabrics!
