I've kidnapped mum's overlocker for the month while she's in Scotland so I'm having a go at making some clothes. This top is made from three long sleeved onsies that I bought for Ollie that he's out grown. 
Elliot's Sleep suit. I highly recommend Ottobre magazines for fantastic kids and babies patterns.
New wallets available only at the Valley Market next Sunday. Lenah Valley Community Hall, 22 Creek Road Lenah Valley. Hope you can come along!
A cute taggie blankie made from flannel and polar fleece with ribbons around the outside. I made one of these for Ollie when he was only a few months old and he loved it. He's lie on the floor and play with it for ages.
Here is my second attempt at making my own nappies. I'm pretty pleased with this one! Ollie is too apparently! I bought a little hand held kam snap setter and its so much better than velcro. The first nappy I made falls off because the velcro doesn't stay done up. This one is an all-in-one nappy with a water proof layer of PUL under the cotton outer. The inner is made from an old flannel bed sheet and some gross polar fleece that I got on special at Spotlight ages ago! I am considering making these to sell once I get the design right but I will invest in some bamboo fleece which is much more absorbant than old sheets!
Look at those knees!! Phwoar!
Here are some cool shorts I made for Elliot. Mum usually does the clothes sewing but I had her overlocker for the weekend so I put is to good use! Elliot had outgrown all his shorts and I went to k-mart to buy him some new ones, but decided I could make him some much nicer ones. He loves them too (given his obsession with cars). I only bought half a yard of this fabric and wasn't sure what I was going to do with it but now I think perhaps I should get some more! I must say the outfit as a whole is pretty bad (nothing matches) but at least his pants are groovy!
