This week liliputians is highlighting some of our favorite handmade in the USA products in honor of Handmade Toy Alliance blog week. Our first feature is about Crafty Baby’s handcrafted goods.

Since 1998, designer/owner/seamstress Jill has been creating fun and functional creations for children. Colorful, whimsical and unique fabric prints are constructed into nap packs, clutch balls, nappies and more. Her one-of-a-kind designs are constructed with attention to detail, quality and durability in mind. They withstand active little ones and many visits to the washer. Crafty Baby nap packs, nappies and blankets are cozy and comfy and the Crafty Baby business approach is warm and fuzzy too. It’s a home-based company and truly a family affair, with Jill’s children helping to pick out fabrics and field test new products. We love Crafty Baby designs and are proud to now offer them in the liliputians boutique.

Like liliputians, Crafty Baby is a member of the Handmade Toy Alliance, a non-profit organization made up of crafters, manufacturers and importers of small batch children’s products whose businesses cannot survive without repairing the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act . The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Ace, otherwise known as the CPSIA, is a far reaching law passed in 2008 by Congress to regulate the childrens product industry and affects every product intended for children under the age of 12. The Handmade Toy Alliance is lobbying for meaningful reform of the CPSIA to aid small businesses caught in the snarl of unintended consequences. This reform is needed to preserve the heart and soul of small batch specialty toys and childrens products. The HTA is urging Congress to amend the CPSIA in a way that keeps safe products in the market place while maintaining safety standards that protect our children and still keep small mom and pop shops (like liliputians) in operation.
