She’s nifty, she’s thrifty and she can turn old fabric waste (sheets, tea towels, tablecloths) into just about anything. Bec – one half of Ipswich’s Cultiver – creates cute keepsakes and wearable art for her label Little Brown Dog. We love her range made for little people, especially these ethically-sourced tees featuring hand-printed vintage illustrations. Head to Cultiver for the full range.

Little Muse goes by the saying, ‘made by two hands, born from one heart’ and creates ‘inspiring art for little people’, but we think their work is so divine we’d keep it for ourselves, or maybe drop some Christmas hints. Speaking of which, Little Muse has released a range of Christmas gift tags also available at their online store. All their products use vintage, recycled or organic materials, so I guess we could feel guilt-free hinting at how much we like the Illustration of Boy Vinnie in the recycled blue frame? *cough* Captain obvious? *cough*

Why, that would be lovely! As well tweaking kids’ curiosity, these bubbly bright organic tees from Canadian artist Drew Khan of Creative Director Clothing may just elicit a few drops of saliva. Drawing on his passion for printmaking and collage, Drew has playfully incorporated detachable parts into the designs, giving children the final say about how they’d like it to look. On one day or off the next, and when the decision’s made, send them out to the garden to plant the seeded paper hang tag. Eco happy sprites can pick one up at local store Every Little Girl.

Found over at Endemic World, the difficult part is choosing between a kite, puppy, balloon or yoyo…
