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!

Pajamas โ€“ Winter Sewing Series โ€“ Sewing The Facing and Top 02

This series will show you how to make snuggly pajamas for your little ones this winter in the Southern Hemisphere! See my previous blogpost on hacking the Zoo pattern to make a facing.

In this post we will go through the steps to sew up the Zoo PJ top for my son. I have made a few changes to the construction and shall note them throughout.

Step 1: Pin facing right sides together at the shoulder seams. Sew them together with 1/4″ or 7mm seam allowance.

Repeat this with shoulder seams of the top too. Finish the rew edges with a serger or zigzag stitch.

Step 2: Interface your snap placket pieces and face the short ends right sides together, pin and sew 1/4″ or 7mm. Trim seam allowance to turn out sharp corners. Turn right side out and press well.

Step 3: Pin the placket raw edges along the raw edges of the top front. Then take the facing and pin right sides together around the neckline, then thr front, sandwiching the placket inbetween.

See that the shoulder seams on the facing and top are nested inopposite directions to reduce bulk.

Step 4: Sew from the bottom of one front around the neckline and down the opposite front. See image bottom right – sew 1/2″ or 1cm hem seam allowance – ONLY of the facing and hem. See bottom left – Trim back the seam allwance at the corners of the hem facing and neckline facing.

Step 5: Turn the facing towards the inside of the top. Press and Topstitich 1/8″ or 3mm around the top next to the snap placket and around the neckline.

Memory press the hem at this stage.

Step 6: Attaching the sleeves right sides together matching the halfway point to the shoulder seam. Serger, sew. (Do not catch the facing in the shoulder seam.)

Step 7: Once the shoulder is sewed. Place the sleeve and side of the top right side togther. Nest the armpit seams to reduce bulk. Sew or serge from the bottom of the top up the sleeve.

Step 8: I changed the construction and hemmed by overlocking the hem and with the facing stitches the hem naturally wants to curl under. Press and topstitch down.

Step 9: Overlap the snap placket as per the instructions for either boys and girls. Add your snaps evenly as per the instructions.

Step 10: Arm cuff. As per insdtructions sew the cuff on.

Congratulations! Your Pajama top is complete. I love the finish and my son keeps asking me to wear them. So I better make some more! I would suggest using flannel, fleece or even a quilting cotton for warmer weather.

Happy Sewing – Stay tuned for my sprouts Pajamas pants blogpost next!

“IMPORTANT: Most nations have strict regulations surrounding children’s sleepwear – in order to sell it, it must meet certain fire resistant standards, in both fabric content and construction/fit. Please do not sell anything you make from this pattern without first checking to see that you have adhered to those regulations. Even for personal use, it is a good idea to be aware of the standards and choose your fabric/fit accordingly. (snug fit is important if not using flame retardant fabric, per most government regulations)”

An’s Tester experience of the latest pattern, the Bolster Beanbag.

Look at this kittens paws! He or she is going to be massive I bet.

An was a super tester in the wonderful group we had. I’m a big animal lover, especially because these amazing photos are of my favourite breed, Maine Coons.

She was kind enough to leave her first footrest version for the cattery kittens to keep. How sweet! An quickly whipped up a toddler version for her new kittens.

An writes a lovely review of her testing experience in her blogpost.

Please give it a read ๐Ÿ™‚

‘Sew happy’ for her and the kittens who will be joining their family soon! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Bolster Beanbag

Photo Credit Jennifer Epp – Footrest size with sofa and moon top, with the optional handle.

The Bolster Beanbag release, Tuesday 27th of August 2019.

This is the first sewing pattern I have designed. It has been a dream of mine since I was 10. My son was the inspiration behind this pattern.

There are 4 sizes to choose from:

Footrest: perfect name for its use but also great as bed for a small pet.

Toddler: as the name suggests, perfect for a toddler or small child.

Kids/Adult: Great all-rounder for the family.

Adult Plus: This is the big-boy! I always see listings for the HUGE beanbags that one could dream of. This size for sure is a winner.

Adult Plus – Model is my dad who had to have one too!

There are 3 shapes for the top of the beanbag; round, moon and sofa.

From Left to Right: Round, Moon, Sofa


The Bolster Beanbag has a removable outer cover to allow for easy machine washing. Perfect to curl up to read a book, catch up on the latest Netflix show or just lounge around on this comfy, cushy beanbag.

Always great to remember dreams do come true! Thank you Gail for making it possible for me.

52 Week Sewing Challenge – Week 1

Challenge: Organise your Sewing Space (Accepted)

Wow! I can’t believe the first week of 2019 is already over. It’s been a crazy busy week at our place with lots of cleaning and organising.

We decided to move my fabric table out to the carport to give the inside sewing/computer area more space, now that it’s finished it’s amazing, I even managed to fit two extra cupboards in for some more storage.

I also managed to sew a cover for my sewing machine to stop little monsters trying to play with it while I’m not sewing. Now to make one for the other machines too.

Are you joining the 52 Week Sewing Challenge this year? It’s not too late for more info about how you can join in read my post here. I hope you have all enjoyed some sewing time over Christmas and would love to see your creations in the Flosstyle Fair Group.

Happy Sewing
