How to Create Your Own Designer Toddler Clothes Using Easy Appliqué And Embellishment

2010-06-04T19:22:00.000-07:00

When it comes to having stylish, one of-a-kind toddler clothes, it might seem that the only way to get these is by spending large amounts of money on designer items. However, by using techniques such as embellishment and appliqué, parents can create elaborate and unique toddler clothing which will rival any boutique clothing you can find.

The business of children products is one of the largest industries in the world, with thousands of companies providing various toys, clothing, bedding, educational products, etc for children. Often, manufacturing companies will draw from generic designers, and utilize large production runs of items. This is not all bad however as it tends to keep prices lower – a good in fact thing I hear you say! But it does result in many identical versions of toddler clothes being released to consumers. This limits choice somewhat and means that to get individuality you may have to pay higher prices. But by using appliqué to embellish your baby clothing, not only will your child have unique clothes which cannot be found in retail stores, you can also have the privilege of personalizing these items to suit your child’s taste and personality.

Appliqué is a simple way to create fabulous layered bold patterns and designs on your toddler’s clothes at a fraction of the cost of designer items. The process works much in the same way as children use construction paper, by cutting various shapes of colored paper and layering these to create different images. However in appliqué these colored papers are replaced by various pieces of printed fabrics. Cut the fabric into any shape you like and stitch it into place with colorful thread to create an individual and unique piece of clothing. You can also sew on large buttons or any other decorations that you feel work. Just make sure they are attached securely and cannot be easily pulled off.

If you want to take designing your own creations a little further some ideas for appliqué for special occasions include your child’s name or the name of their mother or father. Birthday party celebrations can be incorporated into a uniquely crafted clothing design using your child’s age. You can even go as far as to create a layered design of your baby’s favorite cartoon character or animal. Your toddler will have clothing which is truly unique and special.

Another great use for appliqué is to recycle! As we all know, toddler clothes are susceptible to becoming dirty, worn and damaged. Embellishment and appliqué is also a great way of covering stains or worn patches and bringing that old favorite back to life and at the same time giving your toddler something truly unique and special to wear.

A new child in the family is a cause for celebration and for many families this means a baptism or christening ceremony. Until around the 4th century, baptism was mostly carried out on adults. However, this initiation into Christian life is now commonly performed on babies and young children with a naming ceremony included. Although it does involve a few factors, the following tips can help the day can run smoothly as possible.

Plan a bit in advance. Choose your location - for many parents a church is the proper setting however your house or garden can be a great alternative. It is also likely to be a bit more kid friendly. Try getting your baby's Godparents involved. Being a Godparent is a real honour and they can also help you out on the day. Traditionally, christenings or baptisms would see children wearing white christening gowns or baptism outfits. If a gown does not feel right, romper suits are a good alternative. They can also take the form of small formal suits (especially for boys). Probably the most important thing is to ensure that your baby is warm and comfortable. That way most everybody else will be ok as well!

Too Much Color?

Some Clinical psychologists have talked about the significance of color and the possible effects of color on your child’s emotional state and emotional development. Some researchers have said that the choice of color in toddler clothing and in their artwork may represent a child’s underlying emotional state. For example, the color red may be associated with anger, aggression, and excitation; the color green with quietness and withdrawal, while black and other dark colors is linked to depression or anxiety. Other psychologists suggest that intense, bright and varied color in toddler clothing may overstimulate a young child’s nervous system. One school of thought is that only mild, pastel colors should be used for newborns and toddler clothing because intense color may be harmful in some way to a child’s developing nervous system.

Despite these ideas, there is no real evidence from studies that supports any of the things said above. Reviews mostly conclude that while color is a salient dimension in toddler’s lives, (ie: they like it)! Choice of color in toddler clothing or art does not appear to be strongly associated with any particular pattern of emotional responses or developmental outcomes. So the best advice seems to be to trust to your own ideas and feelings when it comes to choosing the color of your toddler clothes!
