Grand Opening Sale

  My Modest Mommies blog has been an excellent outlet to share my crafting ideas and inspiration. Every project has awakened more ideas and a personal passion for the needle arts. There is so much joy in taking a design and making it into something useful for others. Encouraged by those close to me and acquaintances - I have decided to open my own shop! Now more mommies can have products that reflect a new traditional style, which brings together old fashioned charm and modesty, simplicity and functionality for the modern day mother. Modest Mommies can help keep you and your babies covered at the breast, on the go, and as they grow.
To welcome you all to my new online shop, I'm offering a 15% off your order code! Please pass it on to your friends, and consider checking it out for your holiday shopping.
Want something not in my shop? You can make a custom order request at any time. I can sew just about anything with a pattern :)  Many ideas below, including costumes, dresses, totes, etc.  Just email me your idea.

Thank you for your encouragement and for taking a look!

Portable Fun

Are you a parent like me that wants toys that inspire creative play WITHOUT batteries, noises or expensive replacement parts? I present you with POCKET PEOPLE. I could spend hours making these if I had time! My kids and their friends are having a lot of fun with creating them and role playing.

Steps: Take large craft sticks (tongue depressors, popsicle sticks) and draw/paint characters on them. That's it!
Optional: Decorate with scrapbook paper, decorative tape, stick-on jewels, glitter, etc.

POCKET FRIENDS


Modest Mandy has clothes that are not glued on. They slide on and off for the modest fashion show. She is so much easier to get dressed than all those plastic dolls with arms!

POCKET SAINTS
I haven't made any yet, but it is the same idea using pictures of Saints as inspiration. In the past I made Saints on wood dolls using colored pencils for wood. This is just the flater, cheaper version.

 

POCKET HEROES

You all saw this coming. My family loves the Marvel Avengers movies! I just drew these with marker, sparingly as ink bleeds into the wood. On the back side we wrote the names of each super hero and their other names, such as Tony Stark, Dr. Bruce Banner, Steve Rogers… You could also draw their alternate character on the reverse side!
L-R: Thor, Hulk, Nick Fury, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Captain America, Black Widow.
