M for Molly!

Reuben went to his first Birthday party at his new school (well the party was in the church hall)- it was a disco and he was very unsure. Molly however loved her gift and I really enjoyed making it! So without further delay here is M for Molly!

Some crafty bits..

I haven’t blogged for a while so I am going to do a catch up of a few posts in one day.

Made for Elias’ Christmas Pressie.

More Tees… I love Bondaweb and stitch and tear

My Favourtie applique Tee yet- Jude loves it!

More of the Christmas Pjamas.

yes it is a dishcloth- have done a few of these for pressies as they are a fast knit and a good way to use up left over balls of cotton. My MIL however cannot accept it as a dishcloth and is turning it into a bag for pens…at least she will use it!

Monkey socks for me.

Toe up socks for Mark!

Need to fit a zip onto this Cardy knit fast with Chunky wool for Jude!

Sewing for myself for a change!

Not bad for a first try at making something for me eh?

Ahoy there again!

Reuben was thrilled to find his pirate 3/4 length pants on the stairs when he came down this morning and we think they look great. In fact I was so pleased that I decided to make him a proper pirate outfit. I made the waistcoat ad hoc (no pattern) and the same pants again (in less time yay!).

The Skull and Crossbones were cut out by Mark and then I tried applique for the first time using the machine. It is a technique I have been practising lots and I am chuffed to bits that I did this well. I think it looks fab! Will post action pics tomorrow!

Ahoy there!

Reuben has recently aquired a copy of the book called ‘the night pirates’ and loves it.  So I bought him a yard of pirate fabric from USA ebay and made him these shorts! For my first attempt at making shorts/ trousers for the kids I think they turned out really well. I hope he likes then and we will find out in the morning!!
