Geranium Dresses

I have recently made a number of Geranium Dresses from Made By Rae. 

One for a newborn:

Fabric from Saffron Craig. 

Two for some 3 year olds:

Fabric from discount table at Spotlight plus scraps for bodice lining. 

Two for some sisters:

More Saffron Craig fabric. 

Two more in the pipeline to come...

A Collaboration

A cushion cover for a sister-in-law. 

Finished quilt

Finished the quilt for Harry's friend. 

It is the Heather Ross fabric collection Briar Rose. Perfect for a little girl who likes strawberries. 

The backing is a vintage sheet that her Mum has had for years. 

I straight line quilted it and machine stitched the binding. 

Everyone is happy with the result :)

Baby presents

Here's a few gifts I have made for friends with newborn babies. 

I used the Made By Rae Newborn Pants pattern. It is free and super duper easy. 

A little boy, Caleb:

A boy, Freddy and girl, Maddy. They're not twins but their mummies are good friends and they were born within a few weeks of each other. 

I used my alphabet stamps to print their names on twill tape. 

For Dad

This is the top of the quilt for Harry's friend:

Sewing the squares:

Basting with 370 safety pins:

More Bucket Hats

Oliver + S bucket hats with straps attached using lovely Saffron Craig organic cotton. 

These are for 2 of Harry's friends. I have 6 more to make for his other friends. 

The kookaburras and wombats have been keeping me company in my sewing room :)
