Today, we're thrilled to introduce Rae from Made by Rae. She's joining us with her stunning new Lotus Pond fabric collection, which has just launched with Cloud 9 Fabrics. This collection consists of 12 vibrant prints in organic quilting cotton, all certified as organic! The colors are bold and eye-catching, making these fabrics perfect not only for quilts but also for garments—especially children's clothing. If you recall Liesl’s summer fashion picks, Rae is here today to share her own summer wardrobe ideas for kids. Let’s see what Rae would create for her children's summer wardrobe!

**Sketchbook Shirt:** I can imagine the blue "Diamonds Are Forever" print transforming into a stylish button-down shirt for boys. It has a bandana-like vibe with a touch of western flair. To elevate it further, you could add pearl snaps instead of regular buttons for an extra touch of charm!
---
**Sketchbook Shorts:** Pairing the indigo union chambray from Robert Kaufman with the Sketchbook Shirt would create a perfect ensemble. These shorts would complement the shirt beautifully while adding a rugged, casual feel.
---
**School Days Jacket:** At Quilt Market this year, the Cloud9 Fabrics booth showcased a School Days Jacket featuring the navy Lily Pond print with orange frogs inside. It was such a striking and eye-catching combination that I couldn’t resist including it in Rae’s summer edit!
---
**Library Dress:** The Library Dress is always a favorite due to its elegant sash and kimono-inspired bodice. I think it would look incredible paired with the bold blue and orange floral prints. For instance, I'd use the orange Lotus Drop for the sash and the Blue Meadow Blossom floral print for the main dress.

**Class Picnic Shorts:** These shorts have such a fun envelope design. I envision them paired with the yellow snails and a deep indigo union chambray border for a playful yet polished look.
---
**Ice Cream Dress:** A classic Oliver + S favorite, this dress beautifully showcases two contrasting prints. I’d pair the green "Diamonds Are Forever" print with the multi-colored snails for a delightful summer look.
---
**Bedtime Story Pajamas:** These pajamas are always a hit with kids, and I think they’d look particularly fun in a combination of the hopping-along frog prints. For my son Elliot, I’m torn between navy pajamas with orange trim or orange pajamas with navy trim—both options are equally appealing!
