Welcome to Gossamer Wings. I'm an empty nester that has always adored sewing children's clothing. When my daughters were growing up, I made about 80% of their clothing. It was recently commented to me that photos of my girls never seem to look dated, and I truly believe that it is because of the timeless designs of the pieces I made for them.

I love high quality fabrics that can be washed and stand the test of time. I make them so that they can be handed down, or kept as an heirloom. This is why you will only see natural fabrics in my clothing, except for a few accessory items that may include faux fur.

What makes my garments timeless are classic designs and the fabrics, which are sweet delicate florals, polka dots, stripes, gingham etc. I also love to use Liberty of London fabrics.

I hope you enjoy what I have created for your child, as each piece is done with a lot of care and attention to detail.
Since it is just me creating these pieces and not a factory, some of the pieces will be one of a kind. I buy fabric for the season, and determine what age and style I want to make. I may have left over fabric to make smaller or larger sizes, but I only make baby and up to size 5/6 yr. garments. If there is truly something you have fallen in love with that you see in my sold orders, I can work with you to create something similar. Since some of the garments have embroidery on them, these will take a little longer to make on a custom order.

For custom items: After we determine what you want, I usually make the garment up and list it with a reserve on it. If however it was not what you wanted, there will be no pressure to buy it, and it will be sold with the other items.


I look forward to creating fun and heirloom quality clothing for your children.

My shipping prices reflect not only the actual price at the post office, but packaging as well. I wrap each item in ivory tissue with a coordinating ribbon to match, then it goes in a cellophane bag for added protection, and finally a strong plastic bubble wrap mailer (for wool capes, I use a sturdy box). Some items will be a bit more to ship if it exceeds 13 oz.
