How ties work.

Here are some pictures to show you how the ties work, I want to get a video on here but I am struggling with it. I hope to figure it out soon and get that on here too.


This is a tie with the elastic and snaps.


You can see the back just snaps together, this is much easier on babies as well as some toddlers.


Close up view of the snap & elastic.


This shows the back of the tie, as you can see it has a loop so the extention part of the tie will stay in place.

These ties are the ones that I would do for an infant on up to about age 2. I always do the snap on these ties just because it is much easier than trying to get your kid to cooperate as you try to get the tie over their head. You can let me know if you would like the snap-up or not I can do it either way.



As you can see, you just pull on the loop part of the tie to loosen it...


Then pull on the extendor part to tighten it.


This is a tie for older kids, as you can see there is not a snap. This is one that would need to go over your kids head and then be tightened.


This is the back of the tie which is very much the same as the previous ties but this does not have the snap-up back.

Under Construction...

Ok so I am just getting this blog up and going as well as the business... I hope to have a lot more pictures on here including fabric swatches, as well as more detailed pictures of the ties.. all in due time. Please be patient with me I promise I am working on it! I have a few pictures that I am posting of the ties but I will get better ones on here soon! Thanks for your patience, it is greatly appreciated! :)


By the way the adorable headband and flower on the baby girl are made by my friend Sarah. She makes the cutest clippies for babies, little girls and even moms, I wear her clippes in my hair all the time... the ribbon ones or ones with small flowers, not the big ones :) Anyway if you are interested you should check out her blog, it's sallysclippies.blogspot.com the link is here on my page. She has the best prices around, and the cutest clippies hands down!!



This handsome little guy is almost 10 months old.


This tie is the same size as the one pictured above. This little man is about 18 months old but he is a bit small for his age.


The ties are not just for babies and toddlers, I can also make them a bit larger for older kids as well. This cute little man is almost 5.


This handsome guy is almost 8.

If you are looking for a certain color or pattern, just let me know. I will do my best to find what you are looking for. It seems like some of my fabrics will be changing with the seasons, the patterned ties especially. The solid colors should be available year round. If there is a pattern you see and like I would reccomend getting it sooner rather than waiting, I may not be able to get the same fabric again. Thanks again for your patience! :)
