Sewing for loved ones

Who doesn’t love to sew for little ones? I sure do!

“Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.”

Albert Camus

Do you say handmade or homemade? I say Handmade – with Love ofcourse!

I made a friend of mine’s new baba an Ultimate Bucket Hat in the most adorable sunflower quilt cotton. (This summer I went on a sunflower craze to say the least haha)

Look at what her mom sent me recently for international Hat Day!

Darn cute! No more baba’s for me, so I’ll sew for miss Amy.

Come share your baba sewing items with Flosstyle Patterns on our Flosstyle Fair group, Instagram – used #flosstylepatterns

Scrub Cap Sew Along

Everyone seems to love a video sew along, and we have had quite a few people asking lately for a Scrub Cap Sew Along so here it is.

The Scrub Cap pattern is part of our amazing Ultimate Bucket Hat Pattern which already has a sew along you can check out here.

How It Works

Each day of the sew along a new step by step tutorial video will be posted to the Flosstyle Patterns Youtube Channel and a blog will be published with the link for you to follow along.

We will also post the link to our facebook page and group.

The Sew Along will be broken down into 3 days

  • Day 1 – Fabric Choices, Which pattern pieces you will need and cutting out the fabric
  • Day 2 – Sewing the inner and outer walls and attaching the lid
  • Day 3 – Sewing the two crown pieces together and attaching the band

Don’t worry if you can’t keep up, the videos won’t be taken down, you will be able to go back and watch them again later.

Once you have finished your scrub cap we would love for you to share a photo in the Flosstyle Fair Facebook Group.

Important Details

Sew Along starts January 19th 2022.

Post a photo of your completed scrub cap to the group by 3rd February 2022 for your chance to win awesome prizes.

You can get the pattern here and join the Facebook event here.

Happy Sewing xx

Ultimate Bucket Hat for Spring

I recently sewed up a UBH for my 3 month old daughter. We were planning on going for a short hike. Well GPS led us in the wrong direction so we ended up just going for a walk at the beachfront instead.

I made her version with the reversible chin strap that Gail sewed up in this video.

Super helpful for little ones so that they don’t loose their hats but please remember always under supervison only.

I added a clip at the bottom of hers.

Please see our two hat method to help with sewing yours up in Gails Sew Along videos.

Happy Sewing All!

Sewing Challenge 2020 – Week 9

This weeks challenge: Aussie Designers’ Pattern
Accepted/Rejected: Accepted

Lucky I am an Aussie Designer so that made accepting this weeks challenge super easy. With everything that has been going on in this crazy world lately the kids have been playing a lot of doctors and have been asking for doctor clothes to dress up in.

I decided to make them some scrub caps and masks, I let the boys pick which prints they wanted and they asked me to make a girl set as well for when their cousin comes to play.

The scrub cap is part of the Ultimate Bucket Hat pattern and can be found here. The mask pattern I used was from Deaconess and can be found here.

Have you sewn anything a bit different lately to what you would normally be sewing? I’d love to see some pictures.

Happy Sewing

Sewing Challenge 2020 – Week 5

This weeks challenge: Sew Your Favourite Pattern
Accepted/Rejected: Accepted

If you’ve been following along with my weekly sews so far this year it will come as no surprise that my favourite pattern at the moment is the Ultimate Bucket Hat.

Although I did mix it up just a little this week and made this one out of two linen tea towels at the request of my mother in law.

I wasn’t super convinced that the tea towel with the wine glasses was going to work when she first brought them to me but she was convinced it would. As I was sewing the hat up it grew on me and by the end I had decided I liked it.

I promise I won’t be making another hat next week! I think I’m all hatted out for awhile.

Happy Sewing

Sewing Challenge 2020 – Week 4

This weeks challenge: Swim
Accepted/Rejected: Accepted

This weeks challenge is Swim, we usually end up swimming outdoors which means the kids need extra hats for swimming, because once they get out of the water they want a dry hat to wear.

I saw this amazing fabric at Spotlight a little while back and knew it would make amazing hats, they are part of the Jijaka range. The colours are so vibrant and the patterns are so detailed.

How are you going so far with the challenge? I would love for you to pop over to Flosstyle Fair and let me know.

Happy Sewing
