Just not finding the time to blog much anymore and making too many things to keep up with so a quick pictorial of some of the things I've sewn in the last few months.

Fox Pants

I bought this fabric in Hawaii and I just LOVE it. I knew I was going to make William a pair of pants out of it and I think they've come up really well.





Such a feeling of satisfaction to add my own label to them!

Kate's Too Small Romper

I made a romper for young Miss Kate from some fabric her Aunt had given me.

Unfortunately the pattern sizing was a tad small and Kate had to be squeezed into it by her Mum.

Determined not to waste the gifted fabric I brought it home and made some alterations.

First I cut the whole romper in half and inserted an extra panel around the waist. To hide the seams I added two little stripes of contrasting fabric.

I then added an extra couple of inches to the neck elastic and released the elastic around the legs.

Finally I enlarged the arm holes. It really was too tight every which way!

I didn't get a photo of Kate wearing it whilst it was too small for her as her extremities were turning blue from lack of blood flow... But here is a before and after photo.

Pirate Coat

So I got it into my head to make William a coat. I am pretty impressed with how it turned out. It has a hood, inset pockets, belt, buttons and is fully lined.

I managed to muddle my way through the instructions all by myself and William is pretty chuffed with it.
