Change is Good

Yes, m'am. I admit it. Here at Peach Tea Couture we are changing our focus. You see, I dearly LOVE sewing--I just don't love sewing exactly the same thing TWICE. Before I finish one garment, my mind has already designed the next two. And, I've realized there's an old flame burning in my heart and it just won't be extinguished. That flame has burned inside me since I was six years old. "What old flame is that?" you may ask. It's my love of patternmaking. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE making patterns. So much so my major at college (good ol' University of Alabama) was Clothing and Textile Design. So I've decided to add downloadable PDF patterns to our lineup at PTC. We'll still carry our hand-painted onesies, but we'll be adding LOTS of children's sewing patterns.

Golf Onesie and Argyle Leg Warmer Set

This onesie and argyle leg warmer set is definitely not par for the course! Your little golfer (well, maybe future golfer!) will stand out at the country club in this cute little outfit. The onesie is 100% cotton and is hand-painted. Personalization is free! And included with the set is a pair of argyle leg warmers for that vintage appeal. Choose from gray argyle, khaki argyle, navy argyle, solid navy, or solid khaki leg warmers. Take a look at http://www.etsy.com/listing/46478259/golf-onesie-and-argyle-leg-warmer-set?ref=v1_other_2

Pirate Skull Onesie and Leg Warmer Set

"I'm a dishonest man. Honestly. It's the honest ones you have to watch out for." Captain Jack Sparrow

I'm a huge "Pirates of the Caribbean" fan, so of course I had to do a pirate onesie! This pirate skull is hand-painted on a 100% cotton onesie and is personalized FREE! And to make the outfit even more "pirate-like" we've included a pair of sewn gray/black striped leg warmers. If you'd like to add a diaper cover, be sure to purchase our "Pick your favorite fabric" bloomer/diaper cover listing. I don't have many solids listed, but I can get just about any solid you want. I think a black, gray, or red diaper cover would make this a perfect birthday outfit for a pirate-themed party. View it at http://www.etsy.com/listing/46472795/pirate-skull-onesie-and-leg-warmer-set

Red Ladybug Onesie and Tutu Twirl Skirt Set

Ladybugs all dressed in red
Strolling through the flowerbed.
If I were tiny just like you
I'd creep among the flowers too!
(Maria Fleming)

Dress your sweet little lady in this two piece onesie and tutu twirl skirt set. The skirt is a four-layer tutu twirl skirt (three layers of tulle under a printed 100% cotton top layer) with an elasticized waist--extra short and fluffy because why in the world would you want to cover up those precious little legs! The happy little ladybug is hand-painted by my loving husband on a white 100% cotton one-piece bodysuit. Personalization is free!!

Zebra Shoe Onesie and Ruffled Diaper Cover (Bloomer)

Show the world that she's not an ordinary, everyday princess with this two piece onesie and ruffled diaper cover set. The diaper cover is a zebra print with three ruffles on the back of various coordinating prints. The waist and legs are elasticized for a snug fit. The zebra shoe is hand-painted by my loving husband on a white 100% cotton one-piece bodysuit. Personalization is free!! Look at the back of this ruffled diaper cover (bloomer)! So cute!!

Football Onesie and Madras Diaper Cover Set

I know it's not football season yet, but this vintage-inspired football onesie and madras patchwork plaid diaper cover has turned out to be our best-seller!! Here's what one customer said about it:
"love, love, love this little outfit! the painting on the onesie is unique and beautiful.....i love the madras print diaper cover! we took our lil man's 9 month pictures this morning using this outfit....I'll post pics later!"
The football and monogram are hand-painted and believe me, it will hold up through machine washings and dryings. And the madras patchwork is REAL PATCHWORK! Not one of those cheap prints meant to look like patchwork. I just know your little future football player will love it!

INTRODUCING: Peach Tea Couture

Hi, y’all and welcome to Peach Tea Couture! A little slice of heaven right here on the web. Everything here is very stylish—very Southern. So come on in, browse the shop, and sit a spell. Look to the right of the screen and you'll see our Etsy shop. Click on it to go directly to the shop.

Now, about me. My mama always told me that if I forgot to properly introduce myself people would think I was born in a barn. And, being Southern, I definitely wanna make my mama proud!! So here’s a bit about me. I was born and raised in LA (lower Alabama!) and am a proud graduate of THE University of Alabama. (That’s a good-natured poke at all you Auburn fans. Actually, I don’t dislike Auburn. My own sister went there—God bless her little heart.) Though I have lived most of my life in the South, I’m proud to say I survived 18 months in Maine. Now don’t get me wrong. I love Maine—May through October. But I can completely do without the winter! 145” of snow that winter!! Good grief, y’all -- I’m from the Gulf Coast of Alabama! The only white stuff I think should be on the ground is that sugar white sand of Gulf Shores or the cotton that falls off the trucks on their way to the gin during cotton picking season. Nowadays, I reside in good ol’southern Georgia. Peach country! And I do love peaches! Yes, m’am, I do!

I LOVE to create and sew! Sometimes I make my own patterns; sometimes I see a modern-day design I like; but mostly I adore sewing from vintage patterns. My husband is the painter in the family--so all of the hand-painted designs were created by his loving hands! You can view our shop at www.peachteacouture.etsy.com

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the visit! Ya’ll come back now! (And for my Northern friends, I’ll say, “You guys come back real soon!”)
