There are clothes of our children that acquire a special value. The hospital blanket, her first body, that pajamas she liked tango or that shirt that we keep as a souvenir even though she has grown two sizes and is small.
Louma El-Khoury, founder of Pokidots, is a mother illustrator and fashion artist who creates personalized memories with clothes that children no longer wear, turning it into works of art.
As with many other entrepreneurial mothers, her inspiration came from her own experience as the mother of two children, two and four years old.
"I had this idea while I was saving my baby's little baby clothes to give away, and I found that there were some clothes that I loved and didn't want to separate," he explains in an interview to What to Expect.
"They reminded me of precious moments and sweet memories that meant a lot to me. And since I don't like to keep things that are not useful, I made fashion illustrations that I think my daughters will like when they grow up and I dressed them in their clothes. Now my memories are works of art hung in your bedroom. "
Little Sagan's keepsake is done, with her cute little 3-month pajama. Her mom requested more embellishments from my collection, so I used the PJ zipper to create a slit in the dress and I filled the opening with a mix of gold and silver tulle to match the sun, moon, and star pattern on the PJ.

Miykah's hot air balloon keepsake was made with his baby pajama, and was a gift from his Godmother on the day of his baptism. What a wonderful Christening present.

Parents send clothes that their children no longer wear and make them unique designs such as hot air balloons, sailboats or fashion souvenirs, their specialty. Then they are framed and stored as a souvenir, with the difference that they can hang on a wall and decorate a room instead of having them stored in a box in the storage room.

I am seeing this gingham pattern everywhere lately, on youngs and oldsThis sailboat is from little Mark's baby outfit, he was a few months in this picture. I love that the pattern is not childish and that the keepsake can go in any room in the house.
