Annie's Clothesline Collections

We are very anxious to share our Fall/Winter 2010 designs with you! Annie's Clothesline products can or will be soon available for purchase in Indiana at O'Child Boutique in Bloomington, Ballerinas and Bruisers in Zionsville, and Ragpickers in Jasper. Some offerings will be available on the internet at our Etsy store, www.anniesclothesline.etsy.com. Lastly, we will be attending the Plainfield Tri Kappa Gingerbread Christmas arts and craft fair on December 4th, 2010. Although, if you see something you like and you can't find it at one of the previously listed locations please contact us. We may be able to make it for you.

We have 4 collections at Annie's Clothesline. Our premier and first created collection is Kate & Izzy. The name of the collection was derived from the middle names of Annie's 2 daughters (Alexandra Isabelle and Harper Kathleen). The collection for girls is currently the only one that utilizes vintage materials like vintage tea towels, draperies, fabric suiting, and tablecloths from no earlier than the early 1960s.

Our second collection is Washboard Girls. The Washboard Girls collection is simpler in it's designs. We use t-shirts and reproduction vintage fabrics to make the cutest little play dresses. All feature a skirt and hem of different fabric styles for girls ages 12 months to 5 years.

Created in the spring of 2010 is the Rue Bee collection. Named in honor of Great Grandmother Ruby Jette Melick who did beautiful needle work, the Rue Bee collection is for girls ages 6 months to 6 years. The patterns are heavily inspired by designs of children's clothing from the 1920s to the 1960s and use new materials and reproduction fabric with modern characteristics.

Our most recent addition to Annie's Clothesline is R.J. Clark. This collection is our boy's collection. To date it is our least developed collection, however we offered bubble suits this past summer for little boys ages 6 months to 2 years. We anticipate adding more to this collection next year.
