52 Week Sewing Challenge – Week 12

This weeks Challenge: Something from Felt (Rejected)

I’m not sure if you saw the sneak peak I posted a few weeks ago of some embroidery I was doing, it was my first time embroidering on a knit fabric so I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out but I loved it.

Once I finished it I wasn’t sure what to sew it into so it sat on my desk for awhile before I decided it would make a super cute singlet using the Super Suit pattern.

 

It looked like it was missing something on it’s own so I decided to make some tooshies to go with it.

   

I love how they turned out and with the cute little bow adds a sweet touch for a little girl.

Happy Sewing xx

52 Week Sewing Challenge – Week 11

This weeks Challenge: Something Green (Accepted)

 

A friend from work is having a baby soon and I wanted to make a few things for her, and this weeks something green theme matched perfectly with some leaf print drill that I have been wanting to sew up for awhile so I decided to complete both goals and make a Tidy Travel Tote for my friend. If you haven’t made one of these before they are great! Small and compact enough to fit in my handbag but big enough to hold wipes, nappies, a change of clothes and a few extra bits like creams.

 

 

And the handle is detachable/adjustable so it can be clipped onto a pram or bag handle if it’s too big to fit inside your handbag.

 

 

I can’t wait to give this one to my friend!

52 Week Sewing Challenge – Week 10

This weeks Challenge: Something Colour Blocked (Accepted)

Who knew you could mash the Zoo with the Artiste? The Zoo is one of my favorite patterns so I use the bodice pieces often. I decided the Palette skirt from the Artiste, would be perfect for this week’s challenge. Behold a fun mash up!

I used the stork flutters from the zoo for the bodice. I even used knit and which meant I had to line the bodice to complete the armscye.
The palette skirt is made from woven fabrics so I attached the two and added clear elastic into the waist seam to help with recovery.

I interrupted an intense game of flashlight hide n seek to get this picture. My toddler is never still it seems. She had to wear it as soon as I finished sewing it, so you know it was instant love. Have you been adventurous and mixed any Flosstyle patterns together? I’d love to see them! Did you accept or reject this week’s challenge?

52 Week Sewing Challenge – Week 9

This weeks Challenge: Something with Buttons (Accepted)

With Easter coming around the corner very quickly, this weeks challenge is the perfect excuse to get some Bunny Buckets sewn up for the boys. They both are still carrying around last years buckets which are looking a little worse for wear. One is missing it’s handle even.

I saw the Bunny Tales Carrots and the Spotty Co-ord during the after Christmas sales and bought it exactly for this purpose. The fact they it actually got sewn up for it’s intended purpose and even in the right year is AMAZING! haha

I later found another co-ord from the same range and just had to have it too. I paired them with a light blue home spun at the request of Mr 7, who was very vocal that the carrot one was to be his.

 

The boys snuck into the sewing room and ran away with the carrot one before I could take photos and it has already had to have the button resewn, at least I know they will be loved.
