Therapeutic Bucket Hat

After chasing Harry around the swimming pool this morning I got stuck into finishing off this Oliver + S Reversible Bucket Hat for a little girl turning 1.

The little bit of hand sewing eased the tension built up when wrestling with Harry when dressing him at the pool. Lucky he's cute :)

A little bit of cuteness hiding inside the hat:

 If this nap goes for long enough I might just finish off another bit of cuteness...

Doing Words

Frenching

 Basting

 Quilting

Binding

Waiting...

Comfy Cushions

A birthday present for a sister-in-law.

 They close with a zipper.

I think they suit her. I hope she likes them :)

Something for Harry's Daddy

I finally made something for Harry's Daddy.

He wanted something to keep his coffee money in at work, so this is what Harry gave him for Father's Day.

Not quite sure how he's going to explain that he got a purse for Fathers Day :)

Knits & Packages

I had my first try at sewing with knits.

I used this tutorial and I tried her drafting method.

Yep, the drafting needs a bit of work. But it's my first try with drafting and sewing with knits so at least you'll be able to see my improvements. The ribbing around the neck was made with an old t-shirt of mine.

This bundle of goodness arrived in the mail this week.

So many possibilities....
