I am back!

I think I finally have the energy and a bit of time to sew again :)

A nice simple project to get back into it. Harry is starting one day a week at daycare next week. He is going with his little girlfriend who was born on the same day so I have made them both some bags to put their sheets in for nap time.

I'm looking forward to getting organised on Harry's daycare days and hopefully getting a lot of sewing done before his sibling arrives in just over 4 months, cause after that I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to sew again!

Merry Christmas

Here you go Dad, a blog update:

Sewing had been very slow around here and my big to do list of handmade Christmas presents has hardly had a dent made in it. Oh well, learnt my lesson there.

Harry's grandparents gave me some fabric this week that was supposed to become a tablecloth. I think there's 6 metres of it so Harry may get a new pair of shorts every year!

That's all for now, Merry Christmas :)

Secret Santa

Some more O + S Sketchbook Shorts. These are for one of Harry's favourite playgroup girls. I made them a little shorter than the pattern. I have given up on making knit t-shirts for the time being as Target sells perfectly good ones for $4, so I bought one of these in a lime green to complete the outfit.

Quick Change Trousers

For a new little man in London from Anna Maria Horner's "Handmade Beginnings" book.

Happy Plackets

Nothing like a Negroni shirt placket to bring a smile to my face :)

Easy Bib

One of Harry's mates became a big brother to a little boy recently. I have a panel of bibs by Katie Hennagir for Robert Kaufman so this was a quick and easy gift. I sacrificed one of Harry's old flannel wraps for the backing.

Happy Birthday to Miss F

We have just spent the morning celebrating my niece's 3rd birthday. She was an excellent host and was kind enough to let all the kids have a go on her new drum kit.

My creations for her birthday present:
Oliver + S Family Reunion Dress
Knit t-shirt & O + S Lazy Days Skirt
