and my sewing room look like this:
Yes I am actually trying the pattern out with paper first to see if I can manage it. More on this project later if I stick with it and don't jump out of the window first.
So to distract myself from maths and angles that this quilt requires I have been making pretty little things....for pretty little people!
First up a fabric flower that I have turned into a hair slide, this is winging its way to Brisbane for a special little girls upcoming birthday.
This is my first attempt and there are a few corrections I would like to make next time around but on the whole I am happy with the style. I thought these might make lovely broaches as well so watch this space...
I have been wanting to try making a bag for a while now so my next distraction project was the perfect opportunity. I downloaded the free pattern from Made By Rae and in the space of one Lewis nap time I was more than half way there! Half an hour yesterday evening was all I needed to finish this:
It has pleats. It has lining. It has magnetic snaps. It has an interior pocket. I never thought I could make something like this. Thanks to Made By Rae for the great pattern and instructions. I feel ready to attempt a bigger bag soon so that I can fit in nappies, wipes, snacks, water bottles, keys, general crap...
Lewis was quite taken with it as well and he knew just what to do with it!
ps. I'm working my way through my Bird Textile scraps can ya tell?
love what you did with the made by rae pattern - might inspire me to give it another go sometime (did you do the enlarged version?). and adore the hair clip...sign me up for when you are taking orders. those bird textile prints are just divine.
ReplyDeletehmmm I didn't know that there was an enlarged or non enlarged version...I just downloaded it then printed it.
