Remember when pocket protectors were the ultimate geek status symbol? Not anymore. Here is new little screenprint I am adding to some dresses: full pocket protector complete with crayons, a pencil and a little sock monkey thanks to my friend Lisa’s suggestion.
Here it is on a simple bubble dress (in my etsy shop):
Geek IS the new chic! I’m all about teaching my daughter that being different, smart and a little nerdy is not just okay….it is awesome!
Love it!
Love this!! Do you have one in size 3T? What an awesome idea!!Don't be surprise if someone out there knocks it off, because it's just too cute.
so cute!!!!!!
That is stinkin' cute!
ohhh I love it soooo much!!!
So stinkin' cute! My nephew (a geek) and his wife just had a son and they call him their little money, referring to sock monkeys. Maybe when he's a little older to appreciate it… You're so very creative!
This is adorable!
No! It's sold. 🙁 Can you make another in 3-4t???
You did it again!! I would love to have a "nerdy" pocket protecter for myself!LOL
I LOVE this!!! SO cute. The sock monkey is perfect with it. I love love a bit of nerdiness. 😀
Precious!! I am totally with you on teaching your children that it is okay to be different!!

Oh my gosh! How genius is this?!!!! You are AWESOME!!!!
I love it!! You rock!
I love it! Geek IS the new chic!
These are so great! Being married to a geek, I'm all for raising them too.
Fabulous! I was trying to not buy anymore dresses for a while, but that sock monkey is way too cute to resist. Thanks for making such irresistible kids' clothes.
Awesome!! I love it!
That is super cute!
Ooh – I would love this in a 3t, with lots of bright colors and similar in style to the "I'm Huge in Japan" dress…Leila needs more Lil Blue Boo!!
SO cute! I have a Hello Kitty nerds shirt – it's awesome. So glad nerds are cool again!
Fabulous!
Crayons in a pocket protecter?? I bow to your genius. Cutest thing in the world!!
love it! if you're interested, i've been working on a few new projects. view at miamoodesigns.blogspot.com
Too flippin cute!
You should put some on a couple of boy shirts. 😉
I just ADORE this!!! I mean seriously!!! I am tempted to buy a dress for my son to wear bc they are just so cute! He can pull it off don't you think? I will just say that it is a long shirt! HeeHee
Super cool.
WHere did you get your idea for the bubble dress?
Target. Cute little sleeveless striped bubble dress with a deer on it.
Ever come up with an idea that's 100% your own?
could you put those on some toddler boys shirts??
Emma Rae: Yes, I am going to make some boys shirts with it…I'm trying to hunt some down without an ACTUAL pocket though! Thanks!
Arg! I am hating the negative people on your blog lately. I think you are fantastic and you inspire lots and lots (Hello! Over 1,000 followers!) of people out there. Don't let them get to you!
I love this dress! I have been trying to figure out how to make a bubble dress for my 2 year old too because of a dress I saw at Target! I hope they don't find out =) Great job and keep it up. I love it all!
copying a bubble dress!!!!!!!
c'mon now!!!!
this is the end of the world….this year is my 20 year high school reunion and i wore a bubble dress skirt for my prom!!!!!!!!
mirandaS….did you invented the bubble dress?????
That is really cute!!
It sort of cracks me up when people accuse other people of copying designs. I have seen soo many crayon rolls, pillowcase dresses,ruffle shirts, skirts even other "recycled" tee dresses in Etsy shops. Who cares? Honestly.
I'm glad that people post the projects to inspire and maaaaybe copy for their own. It's a form of flattery in my eyes!
wow… mirandaS sounds like quite the piece of work. ashley – your stuff is so cute, fun, and obviously shows your unique style. i'm sorry that you've had to deal with mean comments from others. keep up the great work – you inspire all of us to make fun, original clothing!
{although i have to admit i don't have a creative bone in my body – i use patterns for all of my daughter's clothes. so that makes me even more jealous of your creativity!!!}
and thank you for all the time you put into your blog for all us readers to enjoy.
I see that happy little elf, Miranda, has already been here. Christmas cheer for everyone! She's such a beam of light in a dark world.
Lovely! as is all you do. keep it up!
MirandaS, this blog is here to inspire people to sew, craft, be creative etc. If you don't feel inspired (because apparently you've done and seen it all), why even bother visiting?
Like I said in Ashley's first post ever about 'copying' which is what all my art teachers told me in art school many years ago, "There is nothing new in art." Inspiration is borrowed from bits and pieces of everything we see in life (especially in this day and age of technology!). Stop trying to police it, you're never going to win.
OMGosh is all I can say about your correction! Some people!!! Don't let them (her) get you down!!!!!!!
I think that you handled that with such grace, I just wanted you to know that for every ridiculously negative person you should know that there are at least 15 of us that really enjoy everything that you post. Thank you!
I'm delurking just to say – Oh my hat… the negativity!! I'm pretty sure bubble dresses have been around for ages and no one should now claim to have invented it!! Also while I'm here just to say – I realllly love the stuff you make!
Do you plan to post a tutorial/pattern on how to make that bubble dress? I think it is adorable! I am looking for a long sleeve, comfy dress pattern for my daughter.
your information is very nice thanx for share with us. we also provide designing services.if you want any query,visit my site webdesigningcompany"
Oh, dear…
Just yesterday I dragged my poor husband into BabyGap just so I could check out what the new styles were…just so I could copy them at home. We do NOT buy new clothes, and so I really like it when my daughters see something cute in a store–embroidered hearts on a pair of jeans, say, or a bubble dress from Target–and I can tell them, "We can totally figure that out at home." Out of, you know, stuff that we already own.
So much of what kids love about clothes are (aside from comfort) the embellishments. And you've got that down pat!
