EVEN MORE Boy Baby Clothes!

Really, someone needs to start having a girl so I can make something in pink! LOL... Another present was required for someone at work and once again it was for a baby boy. Specific request: blue. It took me a while to get an idea but here is what I ended up with:

I chose several different fabrics and designs and pulled it all together with blue/white striped cotton details.

I made another tie onesie like I made for the twins.

Combined with baby trousers with a lovely edge. The leg on the right should have had to detail the other way around but by the time I noticed it was already too late... It looks assymmetrical but I measured and I can guarantee that it is not :) UPDATE: I just realised that I sewed the wrong sides together making the legs really long and the 'bum' bit smaller than intended. Oops... should still for a newborn right? First time this has happened but then I did make this close to midnight...

I really wanted to make the booties again and bought some blue fleece to make them. Got overcharged but just couldnt be bothered to make a big deal out of it until I came home and saw that the fabric wasnt cut straight. So annoyed! I guess I wont be going to that shop again... As these booties are for a boy, I couldnt add bows, and I couldnt find the right buttons so I made my own fabric covered buttons with my shiny new fabric-covered-button-making-thingy. I love it! Also think that I will now be making lots of fabric covered buttons ;)

I think it turned out to be a cute little set :) What do you think?

On another note, I only have one more baby present to make and still a month to do it so with a bit of luck there will be a lot less baby stuff on here ;) Although it's great forusing up my stash! Hihihi

Scissor Sock Tutorial

Image
Hi all! I've had so many request from friends for these scissor socks that I wanted to share the tutorial with you. I've been sick for a while so this tutorial is well over due. This will be my first sewing tutorial so I hope it's clear enough :) Feel free to make you own or for friends or family, but please don't use it for commercial purposes or make them to sell. It is after all not my pattern. So let's get started :) You need: 2 pieces of fabric with different print Interfacing (with ironing option on one side only) Cord Ribbon 1 button  Beads Cutting mat and ruler Rotary cutter and scissors Some sort of circular template (I use a small plate) Needle and thread Cut the fabric and the interfacing to a rectangle of 9x12.5 inches (23x32 cm). Decide which fabric you want where, this will influence the next step. Use your circular template to round one corner. The fabric you want on the top and bottom of your sock will have t

Easter Prep Stage 3 - Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! I hope you're having a great day and no matter where you are you've had your fair share of Easter eggs whether real or chocolate. :) I was a bit late as usual so had a few last minute projects to complete last night... Lots of cool Easter projects though, let me show you:  I started this at last week's Craft Meet. Everyone around me was knitting and I felt a bit like a 5-year old with my paint chips cutting out eggs, but there was a need for it. I found a great idea on Pinterest and just had to try it. So I rushed to the DIY store and got a pile of paint chips... Taadaa, the Easter bunting! Isn't it the coolest! The original idea was found here (please link to the ORIGINAL POST when adding this to Pinterest if you want to pin this) , and I just love it! The paint chips I used were a little different from what the original post shows, and I thought it would be nice to have some diagonal eggs as well. THAT was not such a good id

Fabulising February - Men's Shirt Dress

Image
Hi everyone! Fabulising February is nearly over and this is the last project I have managed to complete.Tomorrow I'll post a short recap showing all the finished projects. Wanting to go out with a bang, I tackled a men's shirt that the bf bought online many years ago and forgot to return it so I wanted to make something nice out of it. Seems a waste to be throwing away a brand new shirt! Granted, it was white and while probably cotton it was very thick and stiff material. So I dyed it purple. Of course. Once it was purple, I then had to try and do something with it. Easier said than done! I finally found a cute idea for a dress in blogland (didn't save the link though) and I really wanted to try that. But the instructions were super tricky so in the mending pile it went. This is the shirt. Much too large even for the bf but purple at least ;) And a bit wrinkled for being in the bag for a very long time. But with only a little time left in my Fabulising February
