I’m proud to announce the first giveaway for Handmade in PA! Our first sponsor is Baby Vagabond, which specializes in custom boutique clothing for girls (sorry, boys!). Most of the designs are available in baby, toddler, and “big girl” sizes – spanning from 3 months – 5/6! This week’s giveaway is for one of the dresses pictured below – in any size.
Baby Vagabond's Blue Trees Sleevelss Frock - Baby, Toddler, Big Girl
Rosie Nevius is the designer & seamstress behind this shop. She has over 25 years of professional experience and recently became inspired to create baby clothes because of the birth of her granddaughter. Okay, so her granddaughter is my daughter – full disclosure, right?! Does that make you want that adorable dress less? I think not!
Baby Vagabond’s clothing is all designed for maximum use and therefore maximum value. Each piece grows with your child: in the summer it could be a dress, in the fall, a tunic, and next summer a cute little top. You can easily get a year’s worth of wear out of each piece! Also, each style looks great on it’s own, over a t-shirt or onesie, or with leggings, jeans, or tights.
Baby Vagabond's Funky Cows Sleevelss Frock - Baby, Toddler, Big Girl
Rosie’s favorite part of designing is discovering new fabrics and putting them together in interesting ways. The frock pictured above is a print that features cows with pink polka dots and fushcia swirls! Don’t worry, the trim is a bit more conservative.

To follow-up this giveaway, tomorrow, I’ll be featuring other children’s designers in PA and discussing the new CPSIA regulations. If you’d like to be included, please email me at tara AT handmadeinpa DOT net. Don’t let makers of handmade children’s products go out of business in February!

I am a life long Pennsylvania resident and a fan of home made items!!
My favorite outfit is the funky cow dress because it is a cool pattern but yet very subtle.
I don’t have any children yet…but a god daughter I love to buy clothes for…who unfortunately is allergic to polyester which makes homemade items perfect for her!!
Going to share this link with her mom now!!
Hi there-
Love hand made, especially in PA, where I live. I spread the word about this website to my friends on Facebook, so hopefully you’ll get some more foot traffic. Good luck!
Love them all.
I’m a PA resident and mother of four girls, so you couldn’t have picked a better giveaway! :)
My favorite thing, besides the cute baby model ;-), is the orange hippy flowers frock. It’s really cute and looks so comfortable, and the descriptions reminds me so much of my daughter Georgia!
I subscribed to your feed.
I have ordered several of Rosie’s creations, and I have never been disappointed. Her dresses and tops are worth every penny! :)
I love the green and blue couch swing top and the funky cows. I can’t pick one over the other. I hope that’s okay.
OH boy would I love to win this!! Life long-resident of PA – actually have lived on both sides of the state too! (Does that give me extra credit??)
I love the Blue Forest Sleeveless dress. My little one is just about two..she would really look cute in it ;)
Thanks for this wonderful opportunity and for what you are doing for handmade sellers in PA. It is really wonderful and appreciated!
