I was going to suggest the Jumprope placket instructions, but Nicole beat me to it 🙂

I suspect it definitely would! especially as it is going to be a first birthday present.

After talking with my husband tonight we decided that as well as a hood and ears the onsie should have zip off feet (like boots) and zip off mittens too 🙂 Off to Spotlight again in the morning.
We rather like gadgets and overcomplicating things!
At least I think the zip off mittens should be easier than the integrated ones I drafted for the kids…[Read more]

I made a gorgeous white Coral fleece Cosy Bear hood from LTTS today. As I was sewing the ears down, the last step, to help them sit up nicley. I discovered I had left a pin in the bottom of one of the ears, inside the lined hood I had already sewn shut! I had to make a tiny hole behind the ear to get the pin out.
Lesson learnt, don’t use…[Read more]

After finishing the onsie, I had enough of the coral fleece left over to cut out a Cosy Bear hood from LTTS and a lullaby jacket! Not bad for a $2, <1m remanent. The bear hood is all done, and so cute and soft.
I’m not lining the jacket as I want it as cuddly on the outside as the I side. I just realised I want to add a zip to the front…[Read more]

Hope all goes well with the new baby, Tamara!
I’m making the Jalie onsie from cuddle fleece. The pattern is fantastic! It all lines up and sews up so well. The instructions aren’t Oliver and S standard but they are fine, with great pictures, and give good results.
I love sewing with fleece, no ironing! It makes the project so fast 🙂

This time he’s having the version without feet as it’s summer and for camping. But He wants one in coral fleece with feet and hood for winter 🙂

I just got Jalie 3244 (footed onsie pattern)! I’m going to make my husband one, but it has to be an animal, so it will be a panther 🙂 But first I’m making a baby one to check out the construction order and pattern.

Cybele, that is very exciting to move into your own space 🙂
I sewed up some Christmas bunting yesterday (Boxing Day). I got given a pre printed panel this year.
We’re in the process of swapping over the study and the spare room (where all the sewing stuff (fabric) )is stored. It will be a good opportunity to take stock of what I have!

Merry Christmas to one and to all!
Hard to believe this year’s at its last call.
Ribbons and papers…
And family capers…

I finished the dress! It looks amazing! I have also finished my basic Christmas sewing. Everyone I wanted to make something for has something 🙂 Although if I have time I’ll probably make 2 more tshirts and a pair of leggings but if I don’t get to it that’s fine 🙂
