Growing Pains
Struggling to keep up with demand for the House Shoes it was time to take action and invest in some machinery to help out with the binding of the shoes. By far the most time consuming part of sewing the slippers process has now leap frogged ahead with our new binding machine - as well as putting a smile on our sewers faces. Not only speeding up the process and putting an end to a long list of back orders it gives a much better finish.
Seeing into the future I can see that this machine will soon be making way for an even better version to keep production up with demand. But thats for another day.

Babyology


We are pretty happy to be getting props from parenting and kids blog Babyology. We initially resisted moving into childrens slippers as we thought it was a bit of a crowded market. We were wrong if sales are anything to go by.Help from magazines like Babyology gets the word spread and more people get to find out about our slippers,
thanks Babyology
