A New Persona

I've said before that I am passionate about sewing. Really Good Sewing with hand-worked details reminiscent of heirloom garments. Since 2006, my work has been miniature in size--for collectible dolls--under the name Doll Fancier. 


During 2010, I shifted my focus to baby and toddler size. The patterns I use for this collection, designed by Leisl Gibson for Oliver + S, offer the finest combination of classic detail and childlike whimsy in children's clothing. 


I have chosen the name BeeBabyMine.


My new name reflects the passion of the wonderful amazing bee, who symbolises industry, creativity, diligence, eloquence. By bringing bee-like qualities to bear when sewing these garments, I hope to delight my clients, both those who wear BeeBabyMine and those who dress them!


The bee symbolises joy and hope, too. And that is a perfect segue to the other quality I wanted to acknowledge in the new name. Love. I hope my new items express the gentle, complete love I feel for babies and tots. Every stitch I sew, every garment I make, carries that love.


I'm excited to open my shop on Etsy.com soon. I've been collecting wonderful 100% cotton fabrics--some imported--that have both a comfortable hand and beautiful colours. I hope you'll drop by.

Hi Nancy! Thanks for your visit to and signing up to follow my blog.=)

Like you, I'm very particular about my work and the smallest stitch in the wrong place must be re-done!!! Still, the end result is worth it (although I can always still see room for improvement).
