has announced a line of high quality, value priced, hand smocked children's clothing. Parents looking for traditional hand smocked garments for their children no longer have to visit high-end specialty stores or pay a premium.
The clothing, in sizes 6-months to 6, is available exclusively through the website.
“WindmillKids was started by Sue and David Clarke, parents of triplets. All of the Clarkes are involved in the family business, including four-year old triplets Emma, Mathew and John, all of whom have taken turns modeling WindmillKids fashions.”
“Sue Clarke commented on how the triplets provided the inspiration for the family run company, Everyone who buys children's clothing appreciates a good value. But, when you're buying everything in threes, finding values becomes a mission. We loved how the triplets looked in hand smocked clothing, but discovered how difficult it was to find quality garments at reasonable prices.”
“We knew that there were plenty of parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends also looking for a wide assortment of beautiful hand smocked clothing at reasonable prices, so we launched WindmillKids.com."
Parents, friends and relatives who want to give little ones something special find hand smocked children's clothing particularly appealing. Smocking is a very old sewing technique which entails embroidering over tiny pleats of fabric, usually on the bodice.
It requires skill and time, but theeffect can be beautiful. A renewed interest in heirloom clothing, the art of sewing, as well as nostalgia for traditional clothing styles are all contributing to the current popularity of hand smocked clothing.
