EB Swap - Update Photo

Alright, here it is as promised, my lil possum wearing her EB clothes made from DaniL :)



ETA - couldn't resist putting a pic of lil Jas asleep, passed out minutes after the first one was taken (poor thing was so tired, hence no happy smile like she usually has)

EB swap - opening day!

So I've been participating in my first sewing swap with a group of lovely ladies from EssentialBaby. There's a heap of us involved and we're all sewing an item for someone else. It has been one of the best challenges I've had lately, as I chose to make a complex garment simply because I thought "it looked cool" hahaha.. I'd say it was a big mistake, but it wasn't because I learned so much.

Anyway.. my package has been sent off and I'm waiting eagerly to see if the person I sewed it for likes it. I'm worried about how it will fit, I have a feeling it might be too big, but at least her son can grow into it!

Here's the beautifully package I received myself from the lovely DaniL :) I couldn't wait to open it! And the card is just gorgeous, so are the ribbons and fabric!



And here's the ultra soft and cuddling bonds t-shirt with this adorable birdie applique!



And here's the matching -reversible- skirt!





Tell me that isn't the most beautiful handmade outfit you've ever seen, I'm stoked and can't wait to dress my lil girl up in it, it looks like a perfect fit! I'll put it on after her bath and upload some more photos soon.

Thank you so much Dani!! I love it and really appreciate your choice of clothes and patterns and how well it was made too :) Thanks for making this a really enjoyable first swap!

Baby blankie & scoodie

These were the first things I made with my sewing machine (before the MCN).

A soft and cuddly baby blanket made from soft fluffy chenille on one side and cotton on the other:





































And a little reversible scoodie (a scarf with a hoodie attached) as modeled by my baby girl:

First Post

Hi!

This is just my own personal blog where I can share and keep a record of my progress with crafting. I got my first sewing machine a week or two ago and after a hectic hour in Spotlight, I managed to get some materials together and go home, teach myself how to operate the machine and.. it all began there.

Other than sewing, I also like to make pretty decorated letters to hang on walls/doors. Anyway, I'm gonna get straight onto some posts with pictures - that's what you came here for right?

Thanks for stopping by.
