As new mamas know all too well, babies basically live in onesies and leggings for the first 6 months of their life. Whitney of @sproutfitco wants to extend the life of this starter set of nostalgia-inducing clothes through the first year (and beyond). She’s producing organic American made baby clothes that your little ones won’t outgrow until they’re celebrating another birthday. SproutFit’s adjustable baby clothes come in 0-12 months and 12-24 months so you don’t need to change out your baby’s wardrobe every few weeks. With their flexible sizes and colors, you can build a baby “capsule” wardrobe for any body type (something I appreciate as the mom of a tall and lean toddler). This isn’t Whitney’s first rodeo. She started her first company at 13 years old in the natural foods space and sold the company 9 years later. She went straight into a corporate role, where she’s been for nearly a decade. So what would inspire a mama with an already full plate to embark on building another company from scratch? The “entrepreneurial itch” as she describes: “It came so organically,” says Whitney. “Here I am, sitting in my son’s closet banging my head against the wall, thinking there has to be a better way to clothe a baby that grows so quickly.” She also felt a calling to create responsible working conditions out of concern for what happens to millions of women and children overseas. So, SproutFit clothing is produced ethically and sustainably in Los Angeles. Whitney hops on a flight from Boise regularly to “meet the people, shake hands, feel out the vibe and make sure the people who are making our clothes are treated fairly and have good working conditions.” The company is also rolling out a “green guarantee” to extend the life of their clothes, even through multiple children, by offering mending and repairs in exchange for a small fee to cover the cost of shipping. Whitney credits SproutFit’s growth spurt to @factory45co, an online accelerator program which helps entrepreneurs create sustainable American made clothing brands by removing obstacles that founder Shannon Whitehead had experienced herself.

Story coming soon! #madeinusa #madeinamerica #madeincalifornia Aw, thanks @piperoos2015! In good company with these inspiring mamas ❤️🇺🇸 So honored to be featured on the @wilandfrida blog! I love sharing the stories of Mama Makers like Diana 😉 #mompreneur #workingmom #slowfashion #whomademyclothes #madeinusa #madeinlosangeles #madeinamerica “After having my girls I felt like there was a need for something different and I was really inspired by other moms who started off the same way,” says Diana, founder of @wilandfrida. Wil + Frida began as a creative outlet for Diana to make clothes for her daughters, just as her grandmother did. “She was a great inspiration to me, I was very close to my grandmother,” says Diana. Feeling inspired and also encouraged by other mama makers and her husband, Diana set out designing handmade, organic baby clothes that would be cute and comfortable enough to play in.

Dressed in beautiful bohemian, organic cotton crop tops and ruffled bloomers, these mini models are festival ready and an Instagrammer’s dream. Behind the fashion forward baby and toddler attire is an inspiring story of women helping women. Wil + Frida founder Diana has built a burgeoning fashion line through a pay it forward community of mompreneurs, seamstresses and content creators. “After having my girls I felt like there was a need for something different and I was really inspired by other moms who started off the same way,” says Diana. Wil + Frida began as a creative outlet for Diana to make clothes for her daughters, just as her grandmother did. “She was a great inspiration to me, I was very close to my grandmother,” says Diana. Feeling inspired and also encouraged by other mama makers and her husband, Diana set out designing handmade, organic baby clothes that would be cute and comfortable enough to play in. “I have this group of women helping me out along the way, both with my girls and with my business,” she says. “I’d love to continue to empower and inspire other women. We have to help each other out.” Diana’s support system of women helping women includes: -Seamstresses who had been laid off by a retailer and were able to pick up Wil + Frida projects to help make ends meet -Mom-owned small shops who pointed her in the direction of organic, American made “dead stock” fabric which she could salvage and breathe new life into -A female photographer referred to her by a mom blogger -Moms she met on Instagram who bring their kids to photo shoots to play with her oldest, who’s a future fashion entrepreneur in the making Between her corporate job and her husband’s demanding work schedule, Diana squeezes in time for Wil + Frida after hours, when her two daughters are asleep. She makes the most of every minute, including 6 a.m. runs to the farmers market, but weekends are sacred and focused on family time.
