All done

I just put my finishing touches on my last Christmas present. Well home made ones.

I have made Ryan a pair of shorts. And he is so happy with them. I let him try them on and he wanted to keep them. But no, I have to put them away and wrap them up.

Most boys (and girls too) I know love space and Ryan loves planets and stars. 

I found this fabric in Spotlight a while ago and had tucked it away. 

We got Ryan a solar system poster for Christmas so this is a perfect companion for his gifts.

I feel quite relieved it is all done now. Just waiting for the big day, wahoo!!!

The Naomi Dress

So it is a bit late tonight and I have just finished Adele's dress. Photos are average, it is one of Those dresses that will look great on but it photos badly.

It is the modkids Naomi dress. It looks like it will be a perfect summer dress. I already want to make the top version of it.

I used 

Circa by Jennifer Paganelli, it's vintage inspired, beautiful and very girly.

It came together quite quickly considering it has elastic and shirring and ruffles. And it will complement her well, especially with her beautiful hair and girly personality.

Christmas Quilt

Christmas is not far away and I am pleased to say, I have just finished sewing on the binding. My plan for the evening and next evening is to get it down so we can start snuggling under it watching Christmas movies. 

I found a great Christmas tree quilting pattern and thought I would give it a go. It was a bit more ambitious that what I would normally do but I am pleased I challenged myself.

 

I think I did ok.

Right should tackle the building house work. A lot more fun quilting

Another sleep sack

A friend asked me to make two sleep suits for her baby. I made one a while back, the blue version for this fabric. Today I finished up the order and made the green one. I think this has to be my most favourite boy fabric. 

Look, boys and robots, a perfect mix. Again I lined it with flannel. 

Cool "sketched" planes. Perfect!!

So another thing off my list. Even though it isn't really a Christmas present it still is important for me to get it finished. And to be honest I am stoked she asked me to make them.

Posters

I have a very important dress to make plus a sleep sack, all thing things I need to potter away at it in my lunch break.... So I go out and start (and finish I might add) a new project. Just a little something for the girls rooms. For when we move.

For Greta, this will go so nicely with her new quilt (that is still a jelly roll). In our family, for second birthdays, you get a whole set of new bedding and start sleeping in a big bed. So this is going to be so adorable. 

And I thought Adele suited the brighter colours. 

These are simple to make, cutting and sticking but so hard too. My thumb is so sore from pressing the cutter down. Nearly 200 hearts were made, I think it is bruised! 

That's a lot of paint chips cut. I saw it on Pinterest and I am pleased at how close to the "pin" mine look.

Blocks mostly done

I have run out of red and green so only completed all the white blocks. But here is a rough lay out of the quilt. A bit tricky to get a good look with two "helpers". 

Hoping to get as far as I can tonight with what I have. I am pretty sure I will be able to get a few rows completed and a few rows together. We will cuddle under this for a Christmas movie!!!!

Nothing like a bit of pressure ;)

And red...

Making more progress, of the 25 blocks I need, 15 are complete. Well 25 for the quilt. Though I think I might add an extra row and make three smaller cushions. Still not sure. Either way I will and make a total of 33 blocks so getting there
