Pip ‘n’ Milly Creations prides itself on creating unique, functional and appealing products. The range currently included aprons for all the family, food-catcher baby bibs, handbags and purses, crayon rolls and colouring bags, reversible coffee cup cozies, felt crowns and dress-up tutus. Most items are made to order, though we are anticipating opening an online store in the future. If you are interested in discussing any item, please e-mail us at info@pipnmilly.com
A key factor in my work is making things which are useful, with practical details that make life just a little easier. We are mindful of what we bring into our own home and strive to limit our use of short-term, disposable goods and this carries over into the products I make. I want to create things which will endure, not lose their appeal once the gift-giving is over.
Handbags I create my bags with form and function in mind. I love beautiful fabrics and shiny hardware, but those things mean nothing without consideration of the features that would be useful. I incorporate a key clip and multiple pockets into every bag and I also strive to make the interiors of my bags at least as beautiful as the exteriors. It makes me happy to open them! I hope those who purchase my bags will be as proud to carry them as I am to make them.
All materials are pre-washed and dried where possible. Most items are machine washable in warm or cold water, with the exception of felt crowns, which can be spot cleaned. Some handbags will also need to be spot cleaned due to the materials used.
Children’s items are fun and functional and easy for them to use. Aprons have long ties so they can be tied front or back, as children often like to undo it themselves. The neck straps are adjustable, as many children don’t like things pulled over their heads. Although hook and loop tape is very easy for children to use, I only use it where other fastenings would be impractical, as it is scratchy and uncomfortable on delicate skin.
Aprons I make aprons for the whole family and am happy to do specific custom orders to your particular measurements. I originally designed my own apron to offer generous coverage, as I found that store bought aprons were very narrow across the chest and did little to protect my clothes! All aprons are lined and feature at least one pocket, adjustable neck and long ties.
Special projects I enjoy the design process and finding ways to realize an idea. If you have an idea you would like to discuss, please do not hesitate to contact me.
