It is so exciting to see a finished project after working hard on a new collection of designs or a series of illustrations for our clients. But with finished fabric designs it is even a bigger surprise to see what customers create. To see how final products evolve when people put their own creative energy in there is amazing.
If you browse around on Etsy or Instagram for some kids fashion, pet accessories or home decoration you are very likely to stumble upon some Little Smilemakers prints. We sell lots of fabric and we love seeing what our customers are creating with our designs. Most creatives with small home-based businesses sell their projects via the internet and tag us via Instagram. So we see some amazing things pop up in our feed every month. We love how Little Smilemakers creations are the foundation for other peeps around the world to work with. We see them grow their businesses and some even start licensing our designs after a while. For this month's blogpost we've selected a bunch of small businesses that are specializing in headbands, hair accessories and bows. Just to bring something extra to your little one's outfit this Holiday Season. But we are not only sharing some pieces for little humans we of course also wanted to include every men's bestie: we also added some cute dog accessories so he can also wear something special for Christmas.
