Hi everyone!

Happy Friday!! Happy Black Friday to all the brave souls who are out today, on the hunt for the best deals. We are in Canada, but the hype of Black Friday has translated here too…but we will be in the comfort of the indoors today lol.

Time to end our last week of November with our Fan Friday!! Today we are featuring an awesome Etsy Shop called Little Alligator. Little Alligator is an adorable little shop started by Jelaine, a mother of two little boys living in Melbourne, Australia. Her littlest son, Elliot, sparked the name of her shop because, as a baby, he was charming and strong…like a little alligator. Such a cute story! Jelaine always had a passion for sewing, fabric, and all things crafty. She decided to pick up her love for sewing again after her children were born, and started making toy bags.

She slowly began to replace her plastic toy boxes with her handmade bags, amongst other handmade creations for her family. Little Alligator was the start of another dream of hers, to have her own business and work from home. Jelaine creates beautiful, handmade library bags, toy bags and wet/swim bags, with an option to personalize them with unique hand stamped labels. This new venture has now become the best of all worlds for Jelaine!

Jelaine adores What a Gem Collection and chose it for her beautiful Library Bag! Here are some words from her: “Although I have a natural inclination toward ‘boyish’ colours and themes, I also like to include neutral fabrics to suit everyone. When making girls bags, I love using shades of greens and blues and so when I saw Allison Cole’s “What A Gem” collection I just fell in love and knew it would be perfect for my range! I adore the dreamcatcher design with the stunning emerald, navy and touches of pink and chose these for my large drawstring bags”

We absolutely love the bags, and they look wonderful in our What a Gem Collection. Thank you so much, Jelanie, for sharing them with us! You can find more from Jelanie at her Little Alligator Shop, as well as on Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram. Have a fantastic weekend!

Happy Sewing!
