| Stella McCartney to launch a kids' clothing line this fall - New York Daily News Posted: 14 Sep 2010 10:55 AM PDT  Venturelli/WireImage Stella McCartney will launch a line of fun but practical clothes for kids - including rubber rain boots, onesies and field jackets.Mini fashionistas will soon get the chance to wear Stella McCartney. The designer's new line of stylish but practical kids' clothing will feature organic cotton infant garments, floral dresses for little girls, and even rubber rain boots, according to Vogue UK.com. The collection will be aimed at both girls and boys up to the age of 12 and will be sold primarily online at www.stellamccartneykids.com beginning Nov. 3. "As a brand with many working parents in the team, I wanted to create a desirable, fun, earable kids' collection that was affordable," the designer, who began her eponymous label in 2001, told VogueUK. "I feel like all the timeless children's wear is reserved for the expensive brands and that does not sit well with me, kids and parents, aunts, uncles, friends, should all be able to have access to Stella McCartney Kids clothes. We have tried to make that possible in this first collection, and hope it is enjoyed!" Don't expect to see any mini fur-trimmed coats or leather garments in the new line though. The designer is a lifelong vegetarian who doesn't use fur or leather in her clothing designs, according to PR Newswire Europe. Instead, look for modern designs featuring kids' first names, says PR Newswire. There's a Sam pea coat, an Ingrid dress, and an Aldo boys' quilted jacket. Prices range from 19 euros (around $26) for a teeny T-shirt to 150 euros (about $210) for one of the coats. Besides being available online, the kids' line will be at Stella McCartney stores here in the city, and other locations like Paris, Los Angeles, Milan and Tokyo, according to PRNewswire.

| Five Uses for Old Kids Clothes - Associated Content Posted: 13 Sep 2010 11:21 PM PDT Each year, kids go back to school with a new wardrobe. Those popping belly buttons, peeping ankles, and unbuttoned jeans are dreadful sings that pinching pennies on clothes might not be  1. Turn old t-shirts into pillows. You don't have to be a master seamstress to turn a t-shirt into a pillow. Turn the shirt inside out and sew all the openings along the edge, leaving one sleeve opened. Turn the shirt right-side-out. Stuff the shirt with either filling, cotton, or the shredded remains of other cotton clothes rejects. The pillow with have sleeves, and the pillows will be soft. These pillows work well in kids rooms. 2. Turn denim skirts into carry bags. Turn the skirt inside-out and sew along the bottom opening. Then, simply attach a strap. You can sew your own strap, or you can find an old belt and sew it onto the skirt-purse. Put each end of the belt where the hips of the skirt should be. You can do this craft with old denim shorts, too, only, each leg would act as a double-pocket. If you are good with needle-crafts, you can sew a zipper onto the top, or sew a line of buttons along the top (three or four should be find), and sew some loops on the other side, corresponding to the position of the buttons. 3. Sew skirts onto the bottom of too-short t-shirts or blouses to make a baby-doll sort of style. You can use new material, or you might be able to find some old, elastic waisted skirts that will work well for this project. 4. Turn pants and jeans into shorts by cutting them just above the knee. Fold them up evenly, and sew them into place. 5. Patch holes and permanent stains on clothes that still fit but are a bit unsightly. You can use other old clothes to make patches for other clothes. Cover the holes and stains with the patches to make not-so-common styles.
