I have been thinking for a long timeof keeping a record of the things I do and make and see and like, all in one place. I have enjoyed seeing other clever people's blogs and thought what a good idea.
This year so far I have been busy (in my spare time!) sewing for My Hubby's latest grandson (and what a beauty he is too - one very objective opinion!) Being a Central Otago baby he needs all the warm clothes he can get! Here are some of the things I have made for him.
A quick and easy quilt/rug to make. Backed with polar fleece so its easy to throw in the wash.
I have made a few of these sleeping bags now. Have simplified the pattern and made it easier to make. I have made some with a cotton padding inside the
cotton outer and the Merino inner, have used two layers of merino and for a Summer weight one leave out the middle layer.
Thought that bubs had to have some woollen singlets and the only pattern I could find at the time was a sideways knitted style. It actually worked well and you could use the graph to make it bigger if you wanted. Bub's Mum very cleverly used them as vests over the Merino tops and thus eliminated any possibility of them being itchy.
They looked good too!
I found a pattern online for tights, straight, no feet and can be made in about 10 minutes.They are merino in varying weights.
The jacket was made from a nice brushed sweat shirting and the pants have feet in them.
I made a few of these onsies. The were much easier than I thought they would be. Have put buttons on them instead of domes and that has worked well. Some bibs were called for and again I found an online pattern. Had a go at making some shoes like the beautiful bobux ones. They were worked out well, not too fiddly. Would be easy to do in thin leather. These were done in in denim from some throwout jeans.
