Sponsor Giveaway :: Chasing Will

I was so excited to discover Chasing Will on Felt a couple of months back.  I have bought Hugo numerous pairs of fashionable, yet practical leggings.  It's wonderful to be able to purchase handmade baby leggings in geometric patterns, arrows, Aztec designs and trendy fluros.  Along with wonderful pram blankets, fitted cot sheets and pram liners.

I asked Katie to us a little about herself and how Chasing Will was started.

 

 

My name is Katie and I'm a married mother to William who is 8 months. I am originally from Sydney Australia, but moved to Christchurch with my husband Mark in 2009 for him to work as a racing commentator for Trackside. 

 

Before moving here I had no interest in sewing, which is quite ironic given that my mum is an incredible patchworker and sewer. I had always sort of rebelled against it and was into sport so I only learnt to sew at school. But after showing her a bit of interest in it last year she bought me a lovely little machine for Christmas. I started off sewing paper garlands and other smaller things and have progressed from there to making more complex items, mostly through the help of tutorials online.

 

I started Chasing Will after I made my son William Chase (hence the Chasing Will) a baby blanket with sherpa fabric. I had a few nice comments from quite a few people about it asking where I got it from. When telling them I made it they encouraged me to make some more and sell them. 

 

I like to make clothing and accessories more targeted towards boys as my son Will acts as my muse and also my model and I find it hard to find cool original clothing for boys. Especially handmade stuff. But I still do like to make things for pretty little ladies too!

 

I am inspired by graphic bright prints, especially geometric ones that don't have too many baby nods to them. I love to make things that are different and not many of same thing, so mums and their bubs can be unique!

 

I have also started to design my own fabrics and now offer leggings in organic cotton knit in my own 'plus' designs. I also have started making some organic baby blankets, pram liners and fitted bed sheets in my plus design, which will be available on my Felt shop soon. I just have to find the time in between looking after my son to do it all! 

 

 

 

For the giveaway Katie is offering a pair of her popular reindeer leggings.  

How cute would they be on Christmas morning.
