Handmade clothing is different from buying something off a rack.
With a small handmade business, you know who is making the thing you ordered, and there’s a lot more room to choose what you actually want.
Your order comes to me
When you order from Anna’s Adventure Overalls, I’m the person who sees it.
I check the design, prepare the fabric, cut the pieces and sew the garment here in Brisbane.
If something needs sorting out, you’re not getting passed between departments.
It’s me.
You can make it your own
What make my products different is the online designer.
You can choose prints and plain colours, move them across different panels and work out your own combination before ordering.
Some people go very coordinated.
Some let their child choose and end up with a combination they never would have thought of themselves.
The practical bits matter
Kids don’t stand still, so I care about more than how the garment looks on a hanger.
They need room to move.
They need pockets that actually hold things.
They grow quickly.
And in Australia, there are plenty of days where full-length anything feels like a bad idea.
Adventure Overalls 2.0 have a relaxed fit, roomy pockets and adjustable strap options. You can choose full length or shorts length too.
No two pairs are exactly the same
Even if two people choose the same print, the placement will vary a bit because the fabric is cut by hand from a continuous roll.
One pair might have a duck sitting higher on the pocket. Another might catch a different part of the print.
That’s just how handmade fabric work goes.
I quite like that.
Handmade does not mean “save it for good”
This is probably the bit I care about most.
I don’t make these so they can hang in the cupboard waiting for a special occasion.
Wear them to the park.
Wear them to kindy.
Chuck them on for a messy afternoon.
They’re supposed to be part of childhood, not protected from it.
