Clothing? Sure We'll Give It A Whirl!


I am an apron designer...or so I thought. All of the sudden people kept asking me when I was going to get into kids' clothing. And when I sat down to think about it, I wasn't sure I had an answer. What I did know was that my clothes had to be something special.
How to make the leap from aprons to clothing was where I was stumped. To me an apron is about imagination and creation. I wanted to come up with patterns that included those ideals but that were still modern and fresh.
And there it was, staring me in the face. Play Clothes for Real Life. Why wear a costume when you can wake up and actually be whatever it is that your imagination can dream up? Step into a role and create your world accordingly.
Our first foray is into the world of 50's Sock Hop. With the new addition of our modern take on the poodle skirt, we are on our way. Please look for us to add a couple of things to this new line in the coming months including a Circle Dress and a Mechanics Jacket for boys!
Clothing? Sure we'll give it a whirl...Beansoup Style!
