Bolt 44 + Wonderboy clothing

I've been holding out on you guys. Please don't hate me. You know how sometimes you find something so fabulous that you just want to hug it to yourself and not tell anyone for a while? Well, Bolt 44 is like that. I discovered them through the True Up fabric blog, ogled the site for days and finally ended up making a purchase that completely broke my shopping hiatus. (I couldn't share it with you earlier because some of the fabric was a gift and I didn't want to spoil the surprise.)

Bolt 44 isn't your average fabric supplier. They update the site all the time, so it's always exciting to check in. Any given fabric is only available until they run out of stock (hence, my urgent need to buy some before my hiatus was over), which might be anywhere from a few to a few hundred yards. They often have custom designs, which means you won't find them anywhere else and the quality is wonderful. And the prices are better than any I've seen.

Why are the fabrics so amazing? Maybe because they are remnants from designer Christine Johnston's awesome clothing line, Wonderboy. I've spent way too much time staring at the site considering I don't have a child to dress - it's getting embarrassing. If I had a little munchkin, he would be wearing these clothes. I can't guarantee that he would be as adorable as these guys.

Bonus? Wonderboy is a small, designer run company based in Philadelphia that uses local labor and resources. They even have their knits made locally. This definitely fits with my spending mindfully mantra. I am so bummed that I didn't find these clothes before D's little bro got too big for them. I would have been all over it. If you are looking to buy, check out the Wonderboy selection at Small Concept or Modern Moppet. Wouldn't any of these be perfect for Easter?
