How the online designer works
Most kids’ clothes are simple: pick a size, choose one of the colours on offer, done.
With Anna’s Adventure Overalls, you get a bit more say.
You can choose the prints and plain colours yourself, decide where they go on the garment and see a mock-up before you order.
Then I sew your design here in Brisbane.
Here’s how to do it.
1. Open the designer
Go to the children’s overall designer on the website.
You’ll see the garment broken into different sections so you can play around with the look instead of trying to picture it all in your head.
2. Pick a print or colour to start with
Start with whichever fabric catches your eye first.
Maybe your child is obsessed with one print. Maybe you want bright colours. Maybe they have very firm opinions and you’re just there to supervise.
All valid approaches.
3. Move things around
Choose which print or colour goes on each panel.
Try a few combinations.
If it looks wrong, change it. No dramas.
You can keep moving things around until it looks right to you.
4. Check the mock-up
The mock-up gives you a good idea of how the colours and prints will work together.
The finished garment won’t be a pixel-perfect copy. Screens show colour differently, and printed fabric is cut from a continuous roll, so the exact print placement can move around a little.
That’s normal with handmade clothing.
5. Choose the practical bits
Depending on the product, you can choose things like size, hardware and full-length or shorts-length legs.
Design your own childrens overalls currently run from 18 months to 10 years.
If your child is between sizes, check the size guide rather than guessing.
6. Add it to cart
Happy with it?
Add the design to your cart and place the order.
That design then becomes my sewing plan.
I cut the fabrics and make the garment here in Brisbane. Made-to-order pieces are generally completed within 2 to 3 weeks.
7. Wait for the real thing
Once it’s finished, I send it by Australia Post or you can collect it from Mount Gravatt East if you’re local.
Then the picture on the screen becomes something your child can actually run, climb and get grubby in.
You don’t need to know how to sew.
You just need to know what you like.
I’ll handle the rest.
