Update! New products and existing ones...

Hey dinofans! Our sale of dino-onesies is still going - we only have a couple of Small and Medium sizes left, but plenty of Large ones, so get in there before they're all gone!

I'm planning some new products for the shop too, pillows and jewellery for starters, maybe badges and stickers later! I've seen some lovely fabrics on eBay, so I'm going to try them out and see if people like them. I'm also going to be experimenting with acrylic charms, for jewellery, zip pulls, hairclips... that kind of thing. These will all be on a pre-made basis, so no waiting time.

Let me know in the comments if there's anything in particular you'd like to see!

Update on printed hoodie stock...

A quick post today, dinofans... Our suppliers of the printed hoodies have unfortunately run out of stock of many of the variations :( They were listed as available on their website, so we assumed they were available to buy, but unfortunately not.
We've taken them off the site for the time being, until we can find a reliable supplier. Sorry for the false start - we really liked the look of the printed hoodies!

Wild printed hoodies now available!

Hey dinofans! We're very pleased to announce some new arrivals to the Dinohoodie store - printed hoodies!


These beastly hoodies are available in ladies' and skinny-fit sizes, perfect for when you still want to show your wild side, but also want to be able to wear a coat ;)

They're also a bit cheaper than our regular dinohoodies - a steal at only £20 + postage!

New site + crafty updates!

Hello dinofans! As you've probably guessed from our newsletter, tweets, Facebook updates, tumblr posts... our new site went live today :)

I'm really, really pleased with how it turned out. All credit must go to the lovely Mathew at Minimus Software, Paul, and Hilary at Code Bloo who designed it for us.

The new site will enable shoppers to preview their hoodie before they buy, and the variety of hoodies we offer has increased too. We now offer ladies-fit, children's and dog hoodies directly on site, as well as our usual unisex hoodies. Our dino-onesies are still for sale, and we hope to introduce limited edition products from other designers and makers very soon, in a Boutique section of the site.

With this in mind, I tried my hand at making some simple headscarves yesterday, from some of the fabric we use for dinohoodie spikes :) I'd needed a nice headscarf for a while, there's nothing more irritating than your hair getting in the way when you're trying to sew! I think they turned out quite nicely, but I'd like to try some different fabrics, maybe mix and match with a pattern on one side and a plain fabric on the other:



What do you think? I might put the polka-dot scarf in the shop, as it's not really my style, but I'm keeping the red one :)

Right, back to the sewing machine!

Love,

DIY idea: Stegosaurus socks!


How cool are these? Awesome stegosaurus socks, as created by lovely DIY blog Happy Together. They look simple to make too - why not give them a go for your little dinos to wear this summer? Apparently it's going to be a scorcher...

Quick Friday update + dinosaur dubstep

Hey dinofans,

A quick update for everyone waiting on dinohoodies at the moment - work is continuing at breakneck speed now we have a helper working with us, and orders should be arriving on your doorsteps very soon.

Thanks for being patient with us while we catch up, and here's something a little different - from 16bit, their new release "Dinosaurs", with an awesome accompanying video of animated dinos stomping, biting and snarling! Enjoy the wub wub wub :)
