New Member Added - Melina from Melina Baby (Auckland)

Hi my name is Melina. I am a WAHM to 18month old Malaika. I love being a WAHM because I get to spend my days with the most incredible little girl in the world who brings me so much happiness. I do my sewing and cutting when she is sleeping.

I started making reversible pinafore dresses because I found it really hard to find dresses for Malaika when she was crawling that didn't get in her way, these dresses are the perfect length. Also I didn't want to have to carry masses of changes of clothing. When we go out and she gets mucky but we have somewhere else to go I can just flip the dress inside out and it's like she's wearing a new outfit.

With my cloth nappies I had bought every nappy on the market and there was always something that wasn't quite right so I created my own which fit teeny tiny babies and also very large babies without being bulky. I love cloth! A clothesline full of cloth nappies and little dresses is one of my favourite scenes. :)

I learnt to sew from my mother who was a seamstress and sewing teacher. She had her own factory which I used to sneak into as a child and take little scraps of fabric and needles so I could sew my dolls things. She decided to teach me to sew at the age of 4 because she figured if she didn't teach me properly then I was more likely to hurt myself. My dolls were the best dressed and now my baby is. I love sewing and creating so much!

Fru Fru Fairies don’t make Tutu’s, we make Fru Fru’s!

Sick of the generic store brought Tutu?, then opt for a Fru Fru. Made by myself with patience and love, eachFru Fru is uniquely named and different. No two Fru Fru will ever be the same. Gorgeous cotton print waistbands set these skirts apart from standard shop brought ones. Fru Frus are made with either a button or tie system to make them remain size flexible. Skirts are all handmade by myself using a standard sewing machine, a huge imagination and a whole lot of love.

My mission is To make every Little Girls Uniqueness standout in their fru fru!

So choose your mood and choose your Fru Fru.....

New Member Added - Serene from Crochet.Is.Style (Auckland)

I am a mother of two young ladies, ages 5 and 7 years old. I learned to crochet from my mom and love to do it in my free time. I was born and grew up in Singapore, a small but modernised country in Asia. My husband and I took the plunge last year and applied for Permanent Resident visas for ourselves and our two girls to seek a better lifestyle in New Zealand. We were awarded the visas last month and my husband has already moved to Auckland to start on his new job. I will be moving with our girls to join him in Auckland in October 2011. I have hopes to develop this small crochet online business so that, I can truly be a work at home mom and be able to take care of my family as we settle down in New Zealand.

I like to crochet items for children and babies as their items can be really cute, colourful and cheery! At the moment, I've started with a range of crochet hats/beanies for our dear little ones. I am constantly dreaming up new designs and will continue to build up my treasury of items. At some point, I may branch out to crochet items for adults too!

New Member Added - Cheryl from Tutu Petite (Wellington)

I began Tutu Petite with my dear friend in 2009 and took over the complete reins when she headed down another avenue later that year. I pride my business on making the most fullest and fluffiest tutus you can find of their kind in NZ. I also keep my prices low but it never compromises the fullness of the tutu or the quality. 

I hand make gorgeous full, soft and fluffy tutus and tutu dresses for girls aged 0-100!

I also hand make tutus and dresses for flower girls and special occasions.

I sell accessories to match the tutus such as hats, headbands, handmade fabric wings and wands. The wings are my own design and are generally one of a kind. They have no bones or wires to snap but they keep their shape beautifully.
