White - Always in Style

We found this cute white fabric at our supplier the other day... it's lightweight cotton with a totally modern pattern embroidered all over it. Just perfect for a sweet little dress! Unfortunately there was only a few meters left, so we can only make a few dresses out of it, but for now I am love, love, loving it!

The Inspiration Behind Leila & Ben

We thought we'd share with you the inspiration behind our shop Leila & Ben. Cousins and best buddies, they always have fun when they get together (with the occasional little fight thrown in there...) With kids like these it's impossible to NOT be inspired! I just had to pull out my camera to catch the moments..

Ties for Your Little Guy

I have never been a big fan of ties... they can look stiff and uncomfortable and often seem to sit funny. I somehow got the idea in my head to try to make a modern tie - something that I would actually like putting on my little boy and would look cute and fresh. I picked some great fabrics and came up with some ties for our Etsy shop - comfortable, lightweight and super-modern looking, these ties really dress your boy up without making him look like a stiff miniature groom - he won't even notice it's there! Pair with cords or khakis and a white shirt and your little guy will steal the show.

Baby Leila is now "Leila & Ben"

We have been changing in the last few weeks... with the addition of boy clothes and larger sizes (up to 5T) the name Baby Leila seemed to not fit our company anymore. We've changed our name to Leila & Ben to reflect these changes and to neutralize the gender as we add more and more boys clothing. Hopefully there won't be too much confusion as we work towards a total changeover!

Our NEW Yoga Pants, Soon to be Launched!!!

These are our new version of the popular Yoga Pants!!

Available in a brown and a beige, warm sweat-material, these Yoga Pants are not just cute but also very comfortable.
We are working on designing a sleeveless matching hoodie with these pants.
Soon available in our Etsy store!

Sneak Peek - What We're Working on Right Now

Soft micro corduroy is one of our favourite materials for winter. Jackets, dresses and more can look fabulous - simple, yet modern and cute. We're working hard on creating a few new pieces for our shop to compliment the existing pieces - in particular this little cord dress. Made of lightweight corduroy with 3 wooden buttons and subtle flared sleeves, it's super soft and has just the right fit. A mix of modern and retro in styling, any little girl would look fabulous in it.

New Sweet Little Dresses

Time to start thinking about the holidays! I just love going to pick out fabric to make the perfect dress - especially if it's perfect for the holidays! New dresses are on the way!

New Items are Coming!

We've been working on some new items for winter here at Baby Leila. In particular jackets and matching skirts and pants. I just finished this pink corduroy jacket - and it's reversible with grey and black camo on the inside! I just love it! The only thing is I haven't figured out what kind of button to put on it. A black one? A fabric covered one? A metal one? What do you think?

Winter is coming!!!!

The leaves are falling and it's getting colder every day! Winter is really coming here in Alberta. Time for us to make some good warm winter gear for your baby and toddler!
Here is our newest hat for your boy.
We are always able to make them in a different colour - just ask about custom orders.

A New Dress for Leila

Well, with the shop up and running, it's sometimes hard to find time to make clothes for my own kids! (Isn't that why we started all this?!?) Today I took some time to sew a Sweet Little Dress for Leila - it's not available in our Etsy shop, but if you are interested, we might be able to make one up for you!
