I wrote this blog a little over three years ago. I am happy to say that Christine Naugle has just ticked over 20,000 sales in her Etsy Shop. Great to see indie designers making a huge contribution. Congrats Christine! Today T.k. Wilson and I will do a dual blog on Christine of Sweet Potato 3. Christine designs both clothing accessories and toys. I will be covering the clothing, and accessories from newborn through adults, T.k. will be covering the whimsical clothing and toys. First I should note that Christine has an Etsy shop, a Ravelry shop, a Facebook page, website https://sweetpotato3.com/ and designs for sale at LoveCrafts . No shortage of pages from which to buy Christine's patterns! If you follow her facebook page you’ll get updates on the latest news from the drawing table. She's also very interested in and active on her Facebook page. I enjoy reading her posts and updates. I don't know about your experience but in my world babies seem to come to friends and family in bunches. Finding the perfect gift is hard. I mean I put my heart and soul into finding the perfect gift as many "makers" do. (Makers: time.com/104210/maker-faire-maker-movement/ )Every once in a while, but not often, we take a knock for giving handmade. However, when you see designs like those Christine of Sweet Potato 3 you draw in a sharp breath and exclaim " I HAVE TO MAKE THAT!!", loud enough for the neighbors to hear :) . (So you do :)) Picking a few favorites out of the pages of work Sweet Potato 3's Ravelry pages was really a challenge. Mercifully T.k. will be helping to cover more. The baby patterns are too "sweet" (if you’ll pardon a little play on words):
For kids there is a plethora of great accessories that make a great back to school gift or something for holiday gifting. Christine has 3 kids of her own so she gets a lot of practice creating cute pieces. I like her out of the box style.
There are some great accessories for the grown ups too. Christine has designed a piece for many different occasions . She also designs for charity so be sure to check out her designs for the cancer challenge. These patterns
I truly do enjoy all the accessories for men and women. The shawls and scarves designed by Christine are so pretty. Living in the Northern Adirondacks of New York we often have cool evenings even in Summer. I hope you'll read T.k. Wilson's blog for more on the extensive designs of Sweet Potato 3 at laterosedollclothes.weebly.com/ I have very much enjoyed writing about Sweet Potato 3. Her work is inspired and her cancer challenge designs are inspiring. I wish to thank Christine for her hard work and beautiful designs.
