This weeks Challenge: Something for an Animal (Rejected)
Instead of something for an animal I decided to sew something with animals on it. These cute little twigs are part of a gift for a friend having a baby soon. I have really enjoyed sewing lots of cute little baby things recently.
You can get the pattern here.
Have you been sewing up any Flosstyle lately? I’d love for you to share in the Flosstyle Fair Facebook Group, if you aren’t already a member you can join here.
Happy Sewing

This weeks Challenge: Something with Woven Fabric (Accepted)
I’m still enjoying sewing with girly fabrics this week and decided to make a bonnet to match the outfit I made in Week 6.
I used the bonnet variation from the Ultimate Bucket Hat.
I’ve already given the outfit away so I couldn’t get a photo of it all together but I’m so happy with the bonnet and can’t wait to give it to my friend.

Wow! I can’t believe we are almost half way through April already. That also means we have finished the first 13 Weeks of the 52 Week sewing challenge so I thought it was time to recap what has been sewn so far this year. When I started this challenge I was hoping it would be a way to encourage me to sew something each week, so far this has been the case. It’s really great to look at the below images together.

This weeks Challenge: Something with Flowers (Accepted)
In case you haven’t noticed I have been loving sewing up all things cute, little and girly in the last few weeks for a friend expecting a baby. This week is no different with me sewing up a pile of Hybrid Bibs as part of my gift.
These bibs are great, with 2 snaps on each side they are adjustable from newborn to toddler size and perfect to add to an outfit as a functional accessory.
These are a super quick sew, I am always surprised when I get them sewn up so quickly.

This weeks Challenge: Use a pattern you own but have never tried (Rejected)
I don’t think I could have strayed further from this weeks challenge if I had tried, I made some Sprouts Bloomies and turned them into puckers.
I am so in love with the colours and the way they turned out. I will post a tutorial on the how to next week because we are in the middle of moving this weekend and I really should be packing and cleaning.
Hope you all have an amazing Easter and enjoy the short break.

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.
