AlexiaJean Fabrics

I am proud to announce that I am now in the fabric business! I placed my first order yesterday of 14 different Amy Butler prints, due to arrive sometime in the next two weeks. See the photo album for available prints. I will be selling by-the-yard as well as using these in my own creations. There are even some boyish colors and prints!

Stay tuned for a new Etsy shop featuring these fabrics!

Amy Butler Prints available

Embroidery and monogramming!!

AlexiaJean would like to announce the addition of custom monogramming and embroidery to my line of products and services! I have recently added a new member to my family of machines. Now I have three, all being used!

My prices start at $8 per design, and I can add a name or monogram to all of my clothing for that price as well. So this works two ways: bring me something to monogram, OR purchase something handmade by me with a monogram added.

Here are a few photos of my first projects:

Personalized Burp Cloths - $13


Monogrammed Bloomers with ruffle - $20


Small Church Bag - $20


This is a built in design that I added to a plain pink shirt to match the skirt I picked up at a consignment sale. The creativity and options are really endless!!

Fun with rick rack!

I picked up this cute little skort for my daughter at the CCC sale a couple of weeks ago, only to discover she has nothing to go with it!


Being the crafty mommy I am, I stashed it away in my office until epiphany hit. And here it is!

I stared at the blank white tshirt for a minute or so, and then looked closely at the little OshKoshy flower, and thought to myself, "I have those same colors of rick-rack!" So I set out to make a replica flower (okay, maybe replica is too strong a word here) but hey, it turned out cute! Especially for a $4 resale skort, and a $3.50 plain white tank top... not bad for an experiment!

Introducing....

AlexiaJean Designs Custom Crib Bedding!

Check out the first few sets.. details below!

(This is the same set in a different crib - mine vs. the customer's)

So, after ladies all around me started getting pregnant, I started seeing that there is definitely a growing (ha, ha) market for crib bedding. All I had to do was mention it to a few friends, and off I go! These are the first two sets I have done, and had so much fun doing them, that I have decided to make this a permanent section of AlexiaJean. I will outline my pricing and available options below. Design consulting is always included. I will get together with you and together we will work out a design that pleases you! I will render a computer drawing of your design and will not begin your set until it is approved.

Notes about what comes standard:
All bumpers come with single fabric for each side, and choice of fabric or ribbon ties. The crib skirt comes standard with one contrasting band of fabric, if desired. If premium fabric is purchased, the throw pillow and blanket will have touches on the fronts, per design. See below for other options.

Basic 4-piece Bedding Set
- All-cotton Crib Bumper
- Straight-sided Crib Skirt
- Toddler-size All-cotton Blanket (perfect for swaddling!!)
- Sheet or Throw Pillow

Basic 6-piece Bedding Set:

- All-cotton Crib Bumper
- Straight-sided Crib Skirt
- Toddler-size All-cotton Blanket (perfect for swaddling!!)
- Sheet
- Throw Pillow
- Window Valance

Premium 4-piece Bedding Set:
- Crib Bumper with one side premium fabric (Minky, chenille, etc.)
- Straight-sided Crib Skirt
- Toddler-size Blanket with premium fabric
- Sheet or throw pillow

Premium 6-piece Bedding Set:
- Crib Bumper with one side premium fabric (Minky, chenille, etc.)
- Straight-sided Crib Skirt
- Toddler-size Blanket with premium fabric
- Sheet
- Throw pillow
- Window Valance

Options and Extras:
Bumper:
- Two sides premium fabric
- Contrasting fabric band on outside
(These two options can not be done together - it would not work!)

Crib Skirt:
- Extra contrasting fabric band
- Pleated skirt (1-3 box pleats)
- Peekaboo pleats (contrasting color "peeks" from inside the pleat)
(In theory, all three of these can be done together, but are not recommended. The skirt would begin to look too busy with four different fabrics together.)

Window Valance:
- Extra contrasting fabric band
- Extra width
