Quietening down for Christmas

Just a quick note for those who stop by, that I have been busy with orders and will be taking things quietly as from next week and having a bit of a break over Christmas.  However, I will be designing and sewing up a storm in this time.  And then at the end of January I have enrolled into a design and pattern drafting course so I can really let the creative juices flow and expand my range. I am looking forward to Christmas and have visions of gorgeous wool and satin lined coats, boots and lots of knitwear.  If you would like to contact me though I will always be checking my email - dreams@returntoeden.co.nz so don't hesitate to contact me xx

All things for birthday girls and Patience...

This little dress is simple and gorgeous - I love it and wish I could wear it.  The day I created it I saw on my facebook that it was the birthday of a little girl in Australia turning 10 years old.  Double digits is such a special time when you are young.  She has the prettiest name and so I decided to call this dress after her - Patience.  She had a wonderful birthday and was thrilled to know that she had a dress named after her. Have a great year being 10 Patience x

I will be making more of this dress and will be looking for other fabrics also in the new year.

Where have I been???

It has been crazy - I can not believe how much interest there has been in Return To Eden since I put it out into the big world only two weeks ago.  I have more photos to upload but I don't think that will happen until the Christmas break, however if you would like to take a look at what has been happening you can pop over to my facebook page http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/pages/Return-To-Eden/176623865684166 and see some of what I have done.  I am currently busy with custom orders and I do have some other items yet to be photographed, like a little pair of shoes that have the peace sign on them and they match a pair of frilly pants.

Also looking at getting a full website up and running in the new year so that will make it easier for people who aren't sure about etsy.

Ohhhh couldn't help myself - I have uploaded a few photos below.  Will get more up over the next week. x

All things nice and natural - Italian bamboo jersey

I ABSOLUTELY love and adore this jersey - it is just like a new born baby itself.  It is the most luxurious and softest fiber made in Italy in the most beautiful color - nautral with a beautiful sheen to it. 

This bamboo yarn is no longer imported into New Zealand so once I have got all I can from my supplier, sadly there will be no more.  I also have a charcoal color but am yet to knit with it.

As with all of Return To Eden knitwear, there are no bands and it is a loose comfortable fit - a contemporary look.
