shop girl magazine

The Australian Shop 4 Kids team have this month launched a new magazine, Shop Girl and have very kindly featured some Sheeps Clothing vintage button hair elastics and a Liberty fabric brooch.

Want to have a closer look? You can now do so at the brand spanking new Sheeps Clothing online store. No signing up for an account, no nothing to get in the way you of and the good stuff.

Shop, Girl!

multi buys

The supermarket I frequent seems to have gone into buy two, get the third at a reduced price madness of late. The fact that I now have more tins of tomatoes and sardine packets than I could ever use suggests to me that perhaps as a sales tactic, it works.

Never one to walk away from a good marketing opportunity, I've introduced similar listings into the Sheeps Clothing shop.




Having just experienced a vintage button hair accessory making frenzy (now also available at Red Feathers and a Hula Skirt), I've updated both shops with some new colour combinations, plus new buy three at a reduced price listings. Want more than three pairs? Sure you do. Just let me know and I'll do you an even better deal.

new items in store now

On a cold and wintery day like it is here in Melbourne today, what better thing to do than update the shop.

There's only enough of this beautifully hand dyed yarn left for one or two more of the scarflette shown below and the hat as shown below.


There's also a few new pairs of vintage button hair clips, with more to come soon. Click on of the pics to see the relevant listing.

Sheeps Clothing Store Update

Since being featured in Shop 4 Kids magazine, this hat has been flying off the shelf, or rather, needles. As well as its original pale pink form, it is now available in both shops in cream and this vibrant primrose pink.

As much as I love cream wool, photographing it always presents a dilemma. I don't like to see knits photographed against a solid background in another colour than white, and as you can see here, cream against white doesn't work that well.

Until that is sorted, you will just have to take my word for it that the cream is lovely. Really truly.

Vintage Button Hair Clips

Following the success of the initial release of vintage button hair clips, which were snapped up in a matter of minutes, more have been listed in the Sheeps Clothing shop today.

Be quick, most styles are one offs and they won't last long!

Clippies are for baldies too!

After returning from our vacation I was going through our photos & found a picture of my lovely 17 month old baldy wearing one of my clippies and I realized.... hey...... even baldies can keep them in! They are made with amazing "no pain" clips that dont pull or snag, even when little fingers are trying to pry it off. lol. Adorable and sweet, they make a great accessory to any outfit!

Set of clippies: $6

Vintage Button Hair Clips

In addition to our range of pure wool handknits, at Sheeps Clothing we also have a fondness for vintage buttons.

Our latest range of hair clips feature lovely decorative vintage buttons, paired with pretty fabrics and mounted on one touch clips.

As we only use genuine vintage buttons, you can be assured that no two pairs of clips will be exactly the same.

As well as selling the clips as a pair, we know that not everyone likes wear two clips at once. For that reason, we also offer the opportunity to buy two different clips at the same price as a set. Two the same or two different? You choose!

Please visit the Sheeps Clothing store, website or blog for further information about our new range.
