Perfect Maternity Tops for Holidays

Posted on December 14, 2008 by Liz

Ok so it’s nearly christmas here and the weather is totally freezing here in the UK but remember we delivery worldwide, so people in hotter places of the world we ar ehere for you!!.Alot of people can’t stand the cold weather here and a few of my friends have jetted off for warmer climates, and gotta say our Mama 8 Ball maternity tee would be a fantastic addition to any holiday wardrobe.

The thing with being pregnant is you can span alot of different seasons, and realistically you want to get as much wear as possible out of your maternity clothes. We do sell alot of long sleeve maternity tee,s but dont forget if our baseball short sleeve takes you fancy you can always layer it up with a “normal” tee, especially if you are in your earlier stages of pregnancy. All our maternity t-shirts are longer length so will keep your bump warm and hide any bump that might poke out!!

Don’t worry before you know it we will be in summer ahemmm

Breastfeeding Tees for 2009

Posted on December 13, 2008 by Liz

Wow 2009 is nearly here, time goes really fast.

So to welcome the new year in we are planning to add a few new lines to our breastfeeding tee collection. We now have our designs available in a cutie pink colour tee, available in both long and short sleeve nursing styles.

We also have some really fab new graphic prints to add to our range, they really rock so it’s quite exciting. We also have to start about getting our act together for the little monster show we are doing in March, I know March seems like along way away but it’s not really, and i am terrible at organising things sometimes, i am more of a fly by the seat of your pants person; but i want some nice banners etc so these will need designing and making etc which mean alot of time!!

I’ll keep you updated on the progress!

Maternity Christmas Party Clothes- Don’t break the bank

Posted on December 10, 2008 by Liz

Lets face it if you buy an evening wear maternity top / dress when are you going to wear it? If you are planning to have a big family then maybe invest in 1 but me personally i find them abit of a rip just for maybe 1 wear. Ok so you wanna look good at the christmas party but if you spend £40 – 50 on a top or dress how likely are you going to wear it again ? When you’ve had your baby you won’t really want to go back to wearing your maternity clothes, so in reality you will only wear it a few times which is a shame.

Now there is a solution, buy a maternity belly band . They are very reasonably priced and can cover your bump so you could wear a “normal” evening top and have no bump on show.

Now these bands are just for covering your bump, they don’t provide any back support (although they do make you feel more secure i think) so if you are buying one and expecting them to help your bad back then don’t because they won’t !! But they will extend the life of your pre pregnancy wardrobe. So don’t pay a fortune for clothes that you will only wear like once!

That is the beauty about our maternity & breastfeeding tees, you can get alot of wear out of them and they don’t cost the earth in the first place. I wear our nursing t-shirt and i haven’t breastfeed for over 3 years!! It looks completely “normal” and the designs are well funky and don’t refer to maternity or breastfeeding in any way so you won’t look an idiot wearing them years later!!

Business Start – ups Live here i come

Posted on December 9, 2008 by Liz

Tonight is the Start up Live Business event held in Bristol and i am going to it , should be cool. I have been to a previous one and it was really good, quite helpfull really and considering it is free i thought it was very well put together.

The speakers tonight are :

	Keynote: Nick Baker Managing Director, Sharps Brewery

	Hear how Nick purchased Sharps Brewery in 2003 , a small micro brewery in Rock, Cornwall. The result has been a transformation of the business, with its principle brand Doombar becoming one of the fastest growing beer brands in the U.K

Lets hope he has brought some free samples with him ha ha.

There is always a fabulous free raffle at the end too which is quite a generous one, so will out my name in that for sure. I get a little bit uneasy at some of these events as some people really like to show off and boast alot about their business, and really i think the clue is in the events name Start-ups, if you are a massive company there really is no need to go, i love Mama Feelsgood but to boast about it really isn’t me…..well sometimes ha ha.

If i spot a pregnant lady i will have to grab her and have a chat!!

Waiter there is a hair in my soup….super gross

Posted on December 8, 2008 by Liz

I am honestly not joking but i went out Friday night for an early christmas meal with some work friends (thanks Christine for organising that) and i had a hair in my soup, not any old hair…..yeap the worst kind …yeap your right one of those!!!

Shame because it was a really nice soup!!! The main course was really nice and the desert was out of this world but after having a bad experience with the starter it kinda put me off the restuarant!!

Some exciting times ahead for Mama Feelsgood, with the new year aproaching it is a really good time to reflect on things business wise and plan a path ahead for where we are going to go with the business. We are going to release more desgins to broaden our range of graphic tees, and hopefully some new style tees , both maternity and breastfeeding will be hitting our store in 2009. With the credit crunch it is a scary time to be starting a business but we are really happy with the first couple of months we have been trading, and really enjoy what we do.

Well keep you posted on any new arrivals in store!

Original Nursing tees from Mama Feelsgood for breastfeeding fashion show

Posted on December 7, 2008 by Liz

Right i am so behind it is unreal, i was supposed to send some shirts for the breastfeeding and maternity fashion show thats happening in Leeds next saturday (check out breast buddies website for more info ) and i am so slack. I have the shirts ready to go and i must remember to post them tomorrow. nice little surprise as i thought i would experiment and get some different coloured breastfeeding tees printed up with the 8 Ball design. So there is a Pink tee and dark Grey tee (both new colours for Mama Feelsgood) and they have the white 8ball design on them., Sorry dudes i don;t have any pictures yet.

So really the lucky ladies of Leeds are going to get the first look at some new shirts…… It’s so cool choosing which designs go on which tees, i totally love it. I wore the black 8Ball breastfeeding tee on Thursday and i got so many compliments i was well chuffed. One friend said “i thought you were gonna wear one of your nursing tees in today” and i was like, yeah i have…… they couldn’t even tell it was a breastfeeding t-shirt so there you go, you can wear them even when you stop feeding your little one.

Island Maternity Tee & Nursing top Back In Store

Posted on December 5, 2008 by Liz

Yo dudes, just a quick heads up on the Island tee situation as a few guys have sent messages about sizes and stock. Both the grey and the white Island maternity T-shirts are back in all sizes and the white Island breastfeeding tee is back again available in all sizes.

Also The white nursing tee will be phased out in early 2009, so catch it while it is available, really cool design and will become quite rare as we aren’t gonna make it in white for some time again!

Have a good weekend everyone.

How We Get The Print On Our Maternity & Breasteeding Tees.

Posted on December 3, 2008 by Liz

Believe me ALOT goes into making a maternity or Breastfeeding tee, to get the whole package of a final shirt you have to go through alot of steps. One of the most exciting is the seeing the final print on the shirt. There are alot of differing methods of getting a graphic print on a shirt, we use the silk screen method for all our tees. We find it costs more to do than some other printing methods but the finish is fantastic and it produces a long lasting higher quality print which will wash better over and over , the one minor draw back is that the print will fade over time and with washing, but in a way that adds to the shirt because you get that retro look, which is totally cool.

This is a fun look at how the process of screen printing a shirt is done, by the way we don’t print wolves!! ha ha. Alot goes into printing the tees and the more colour prints you have on a shirt the more complicated and the more expensive it is.

So basically the way we make our maternity tops and breastfeeding tees is individual to each shirt. Everyone is hand printed so maybe slighly different from each other, but that makes them kinda special, just like us
