Nana’s Creations

A few weeks ago while at Portland Saturday Market, I stumbled across a booth selling handmade children’s clothing. The clothing struck me as being very original, as all of the items were reversible: Reversible overalls, reversible shorts, and reversible dresses and jumpers. The fabric combinations were clever, fun and colorful — just the type of thing you want to dress your little ones in. And upon close inspection, I could see that the products were very well made. The owner of the booth, Linda, explained how she uses high quality quilting fabric in her designs and that all of the components — from the metal snaps to the thread and elastic — were all American made. Plus, the stitching was top notch, too. But, I couldn’t get over the reversible nature of the products; it was almost like getting two pair of overalls for the price of one. A pretty good value, these days.
I ended up purchasing a pair of reversible overalls for a little friend of mine, and she just loves them. In fact, her mother says they have become her favorite thing to wear. So much so, that the mother has to sneak into her daughter’s room at night to steal them, just so she can launder them!
I have since purchased a dress and a couple of pairs of shorts from her online. Her turnaround time was phenomenal — especially considering it was a custom order, and everything arrived just as promised.
If you are looking for quality, handcrafted children’s clothing, I strongly suggest you check out Nana’s Creations at Portland Saturday Market. Or make it easy on yourself and order from her online. I know you will be very pleased with your purchase.
