Project Bags

Noodlehead Open Zip Pouches in small size and large (though tweaked to make it deeper, plus a snapped strap to hang it over the arm of a chair)

And the Essential wristlet.  All whipped up in a morning, whilst a lovely visitor chatted to me.  Whisper Wings is the butterfly print and the other print, was a heavy weight decorating cotton.

I think they all look very swish!

They are destined for lots of knitting I think

Lazy Day Hat

William has desperately needed a new hat for awhile, but well things have been busy and he's been at
school so I didn't make it a priority, but I've had the fabric for quite awhile.  It's Marvel Comic Strip Characters which he just adores.

Though he did want to know why they weren't in colour.

It's an easy enough pattern to put together, so long as you take the curves slowly, though I really prefer to stitch and clip to get hats to go together the best, but I didn't do that this morning, and I've made it before for customers with no issues, but I don't love it to bits and pieces for William.  The crown is a bit big for his head shape but he needs that size to fit his head, it's a nice size.  And I think the brim is a bit too small for him as well.  So I'll keep searching for the perfect hat for him.

And he didn't want to smile at the camera today either.

Last one

Still plenty of family sewing to catch up with, but this is the last of things I needed to get done before tomorrow.

It's the Essential Wristlet from Michelle Patterns and the Apples to Oranges Sewing Kit from the Straight Stitch Society.

It was pretty good to put together, a few things I'd change and my apple seems a bit lopsided, I think I may have stuffed the pincushion a wee bit too much.  But it's cute that's for sure.

Secret Santa Gifts

Now that I know my secret santas have gotten their gorgeous gifts, I can show pics!!

Sis Boom Rosetta Bag.  Much bigger than I thought they were and both in gorgeous Tilda fabrics :D  They were lovely to make and went together very well.

Christmas Goodies

A gorgeous Secret Santa gift from the lovely Chris.  A lovely covered notebook with fabric, some beautiful tags from Mud by Nest  and some lovely motivational magnets

For Tara, beautiful hand dyed yarn, a 2013 diary perfect for my bag, teas and there were chocolates but they are all gone now lol!!

For my niece - Katie Boston Bag .  There were a few things I'd change for next time, but it's a lot bigger than I thought it would be, but still cute.

For my nephew - a cute little wristlet, partly a Noodlehead pouch and Essential Wristlet,

should fit his ipod and a few more bits and pieces.

Apparently it's too much to ask ........

For a photo of my pair in Christmas Outfits that look half decent, either they are pushing and shoving or making faces lol!!

Anyways Wiliam's tshirt is the Minirea pattern in a size 10.  K is wearing a Noemi by CZM and Tina shorts by CZM as well in hot pink and lime, just for a change.  Love, love, love the Tina shorts, they don't run large, so you might like to go up a size if you don't have a slender child.

This was last day of school as well.

And then teacher gifts, they also got yummy shortbread. 

These are all hand dyed and made from the Essential Wristlet pattern by Michelle Patterns.  

And then last weekend, they went to see the Christmas Concert at QPAC with nana and pop

The outside pics happen when I ask Shane to take photos sigh - see what I mean, a nice photo is it too much to ask???????

anyways K is wearing an Angie top in red and white stella and a Sassy Skirt from Children's corner.  which has befallen an accident.  We washed it after the event, hung it on the line, all good, then it rained and now it's covered in red dye blotches, not sure how to fix it, but we'll see what happens, the fairies are too cute as well, lucky I had a 2nd outfit huh?

My poor blog has been a wee bit neglected, cause I've been busy sewing, sewing, sewing!!!
