Who is Sharon? What should everyone know about you? I was actually born in England and moved to the United States when I was just a little baby (sorry no English Accent!) I currently live in New Jersey with my wonderful husband, a beautiful nine year old daughter and adorable 19 month old son. [/font] What is Baby Yap Yap”? Baby Yap Yap is a brand new line of 100% cotton interlock baby apparel/gift items. The line consists of two sets (babygown and hat set and bodysuit and hat set) as well as individual bodysuits, babygowns, t-shirts, bibs. There are eight designs available.We currently have a website under construction with our designs on it, but it will be updated shortly with a complete shopping cart where consumers will be able to purchase our garments online. The website is www.babyyapyap.com What do you peep at for insight? My children Where is your studio? New Jersey What tools and materials do you use? There is not much needed in the tools and materials department.. I am very selective in the cotton garments that I use.The cottons used for Baby Yap Yap garments come from the most selected cotton fields . We use only ringspun yarn, single 24 count. The knitting of the cotton fabric is done on the most advanced high-speed Terrot machines.The weight of the fabric is 180 gram or 5.4 oz. When purchasing a Baby Yap Yap garment you can be sure that you are getting the softest cotton with the highest standard in quality and workmanship. I am also just as selective in the screenprinting process that we use. The screenprinted designs are high quality prints with ink that has a certain amount of stretch to insure that the designs don’t break apart but stretch right along with the fabric. The designs will also not fade or peel off because of the special process that we use.It is very important to me that we only produce the highest quality garments and gifts! [/font] Take us from Idea to Inspiration; then finished product? I have been in the childrens apparel/design business for many years. After helping many clients and customers start their own business’ my husband kept asking me why I don’t start my own business. I had all the resources to start a childrens line. So I did. There are all these funny names I always call my baby like “silly goose”, “hungry hippo”, “sleepyhead” etc… I decided to start with that. I wanted the design to give off a fun feeling – that’s how I got the idea for my designs. I got in touch with an amazing graphic artist and should I say the rest is history! While in your creative mode, do you listen to any music while you work? Oh music is on in the background all the time! I like to work in a cheerful atmosphere! Is there anything else you’d like to add? Besides for feeling accomplished that I actually started my own line, I must say I am having loads of fun doing it! How did you come up with such a facinating name? The name had to include baby since I was specifically doing a baby line. I wanted a name that people would say “what?” when they heard it. I also wanted something easy and different and associated to baby – Yap Yap was perfect! Did you “Sharon” design all the graphics on those cute oneies? I designed the idea (sketches etc..) but I am not familiar with graphic design. I contacted this most amazing graphic artist and she designed exactly what I had in mind based on my sketches and descriptions. Less
