Catching Up

Phew - it's been a while since my last post. Here's a quick catch-up of what I've been up to.

Making baby shoes for the school fair using the same pattern as these:

These are fairly time-consuming to make at around an hour per pair but so cute and so much fun to make. I just wish I'd sewn some when my babies were still babies. Sigh. I had quite the production line going - it was like a proper sweatshop in my sewing room.

I also made dresses for the school fair. The pattern is from Ottobre Spring 2008.

I finally finished a shirt I had cut out for Noah a year or more ago only to find that it was slightly too short. I made him wear it a couple of times anyway! The pattern is from Burda WOF. The pants he is wearing in the last pic are from the same Burda magazine.

He's working that camera and looking FIERCE!

There was a hugs t-shirt for Milly, also a bit on the small side. My kids are growing like weeds! The pattern is from Ottobre Spring 2008.

I've also been making some zippered pouches/makeup bags using various tutorial's however my favourite was this tutorial. It's nice and tidy with the fabric covering the end of the zipper.

And lastly, buying some beautiful new fabrics.

Coming up next post will be my review of Twinkle Sews - it's a goodie.
