I wish I had a great story, but I really don't. It is quite simple actually; one day a friend of mine said I should make clothing so I did.
I wish I could say I started because I could not find any cute clothes for my kids, but surely that is not a problem. I wish I could say I am a "designer", but I pretty much just consider myself a girl who can't stop her brain from spinning.
The one thing I do not have to wish for is a great family and group of friends. These guys are what makes Matilda Jane rock. They are loyal and well-loved. They are also very patient for putting up with me and the ventures I pursue, sometimes on a whim. Oh, I do love them all.
yay! CONGRATS to you crafty mamas!!!! <3
Congratulations to those who have been chosen thus far!! Love the seashell idea..that is brilliant!
Congrats to the ladies selected so far . . still have my fingerscrossed!! 🙂
we used them for sea shells too 🙂 congrats to the SO far winners.. still hoping MY SONS sleepover camp bunk laundry ( for socks) will win 🙂 xoxo
love the bulk food idea!! smart.
I had cut the top off of them, lined all of my small starter pots with them and put the soil and seeds in the bag. That way, when it was time to transplant the starters into my vegetable garden, I just had to grab the edges off the bag and it all came out in one piece. There was no “tipping the pot upside down and making a mess. I saved the bags and put them into the starter pots for next years crop. Who knew MJ would help my “garden grow”. 🙂
#5 is a great suggestion!!
Yay – staying tuned for the rest of the crafty ideas! And hoping mine is one of them 😉
Congrats ladies! Those are some fab ideas. Love the water table one, we will be borrowing this idea. 🙂
Cant wait to see all the other ideas and winners. 🙂
Congrats to the winners so far! This is a great contest because it gives us more ideas for ourselves. Can’t wait to read more winning entries.:)
That was supposed to have my last name!
So this was really my daughters idea, my little Lil brought me a pair of her shoes in one of the mesh bags she was playing with. It was genius! I sewed them to a strip of canvas I had and hung it in my daughters closet. It keeps her shoes up and organized or at least as organized as a 3 year old can be. It is the perfect size for her little shoes and ventilated too!
They are sleeping bags for stuffed animals. You can never have too many guests at a pretend sleepover. Oh, and if you get to keep any for yourself, they are great for organizing hair accessories by season/color (headbands and ponies-in, flowers and bows clip around the outside).
My oldest daughter of 6 years was so in love with her first MJ outfit that after wearing it whe had to put it back in the mesh bag folded nice and neatly so it was like brand new each time she wore it. She’s so silly that way-we love her for it!
