Romper

This is a cozy romper I've made for my brother's baby. Its not arriving until may and we don't get to know the gender so I'm hoping this is neutral enough! I used a pattern to make this and it was crap! I had to trim it down several inches and the neck ended up really wide (which I also narrowed.). I hate it when patterns that you buy (or your mum buys and you steal them from her!) just don't work. Very frustrating. I used ribbing around the neck, wrists and legs as opposed to bias binding which the pattern suggested. Anyway, after a lot of alterations I'm pleased with the result!

The little spotty tree applique.

This is what happens when I try to sew when Ollie isn't in bed! Oh, and he's got no pants on!

Jeans

Ta Da!!! I can't quite believe I made these...
I thought they would be harder. These are for my nephew in Scotland. My poor family only get dodgy hand made presents from me!

I haven't put the button on yet.

Things I've been making for the boys!

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.

Wallets for the Market

New wallets available only at the Valley Market next Sunday. Lenah Valley Community Hall, 22 Creek Road Lenah Valley. Hope you can come along!

Taggie Blankie

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.

Jingle Cat

Meet Jingle Cat. Babies love him! He has bells in his head and feet.
