We are constantly receiving exciting new selections; and to make it easier to see the new items, we will be adding our favorites here as they arrive! As wonderful as online shopping is, pictures often don't do the merchandise justice. Our "New Arrivals" page will give you a glimpse into the latest additions to our catalog as well as give you a little more descriptive information than will be available in the catalog listing. Be sure to check this page often as we will be adding to it as new merchandise arrives!

Here we have one of our new corduroy prints. This print, the Robert Kaufman black with red and lime apples, would make a cute Bonnie Blue Holly Jumper with the green gingham for piping and a blouse underneath. Or use Sara's Skort by Children's Corner to make a skort with the lime green lollipop as trim and a lime green blouse.
Some of our new arrivals are the chocolate and red velveteen. As I was looking through a children's ready to wear catalog last night, I noticed this cute little jumper with a Liberty print blouse. You could easily duplicate this outfit with the Edenham Liberty and the Chocolate Velveteen.
Shown here is the Liberty Chive with the red Velveteen. A Children's Corner Lettie blouse could easily be adapted to have a longer sleeve and a gathered collar instead of the peter pan collar. Both the red and chocolate velveteen are beautiful choices for winter wear.
The chocolate velveteen would be absolutely gorgeous as a yoke dress with a smocked Swiss collar for the older girl. We have a beautiful selection of Swiss laces to choose from as well as some lovely Mother of Pearl Buttons that would add the perfect touch to an elegant holiday dress.
Here I've pulled some Teddy Bear ribbon, paired it with the chocolate velveteen and played around with how to use it in the yoke of a romper for a little boy's Christmas or winter outfit. There are several brown Mother of Pearl Buttons that would work well with this velvet.
One of my favorite new arrivals is the Robert Kaufman chocolate corduroy with bluebirds. I can see a Children's Corner Paulie with one of the coordinating microchecks for the ruffle, sash and piping.
For the older girl, the Robert Kaufman chocolate corduroy with bluebirds would look great using the Children's Corner Sara's Skort with pink Pin point oxford piped in brown piping and brown buttons.
These next two floral prints just arrived from Fabric Finders last week and I have been trying to decide which would be cuter. You could make Children's Corner Sara's Skort or Gigi Pants with the solid brown twill and a top out of each of the prints for two mix and match outfits. A Children's Corner Lettie top or Gigi would be cute with brown piping and buttons.
The FF-460 Print also coordinates well with the solid yellow, red, or navy twill for a different look.
This new cotton print FF-453 would make a great fall dress that could also carry into the spring. The colors coordinate well with the coral and lime gingham checks and this blue pima cotton. It would be adorable as a Children's Corner Hattie with the floral as the dress and one of the coordinates as the piping and ties or it would also be very pretty smocked as a yoke dress or bishop.
Kelly Green Gingham is back!!! We haven't been able to get this color in quite a while and it is back just in time for those Christmas outfits. Pair it with your favorite Christmas smocking plate for your little one this holiday season.
The kelly green Gingham is shown here with the smocking plate Santa's Surprise by Little Memories which would make an adorable bishop for the holiday season. If you need help picking out a smocking template we would be more than happy to make suggestions.
The red and green tri-check is always a good choice for a Christmas outfit. I especially like it combined with the red twill and the gingerbread man buttons. This would be a quick and simple Children's Corner Lucy or the red twill will pleat beautifully to smock a Children's Corner Mary De and use the gingerbread man buttons in the back.
If you are starting to think about your fall sewing, we have several new colors of corduroy, Royal Blue, Black, Lime Green and Light Blue. The Black shown here with the snowman buttons would make up a cute casual Children's Corner Lucy with tartan ribbon ties for the pocket.
I love this new European print with the big bold flowers on the yellow background. I can see Bonnie Blue's Hallie with the floral as the top and ruffle on the pants made from either the teeny tiny satin pique in Chocolate or in FF-aqua pique. Either coordinates well with it.
This is another new European print. The red floral with just a touch of pink has orange centers. It coordinates well with the strawberry and red pompom fringe as well as the orange rickrack. This would be adorable as a Children's Corner Becky or Primrose Lane's Pammy's Playclothes with red or orange coordinating shorts.
This is one of the newest Liberty prints, Elysian. This print will be great for that special fall dress such as a smocked Bessie or Marilyn from Children's Corner with a pretty embroidered linen or batiste collar with ivory French lace edging. The Elizabethan blue button is the perfect match for this fabric... the button even looks like the flowers.
Elysian may also be paired with our aqua pique for a more casual pants outfit for early fall, such as Children's Corner Lettie or a Sara's Skort outfit.
Liberty "Pheobe" would be absolutely adorable just as a smocked bishop with a little ecru tatting for the sleeve or for the older little girl a simple smocked yoke dress is all this print needs to be a beautiful garment for your little girl.
