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.

The Tidy Travel Tote – Newborn sewing series

I started my TTT on a Monday. I watched Gail’s Youtube Sew Along day by day. The Sew Along videos made the process of sewing super enjoyable and not overwhelming.

I used what fabric and supplies I had on hand. If you sew non-clothing items regularly, then chances are you have all the supplies needed. The only part I was missing was enough fabric. As it was a gift from a friend I couldn’t get more, sigh! So, no matching changing mat yet! I’m sure plan blue or pink would work just fine.

I really enjoyed Day 2  – Gail’s method of sewing the curved flap and wipes pouch curve, in one step is way better than pinning and cutting, pinning and sewing fiddly pieces together (Timestamp 9.25 )

I made a fabric option adjustment using PUL for the lining of my optional inside pocket pouch. Like a mini wet bag for soiled clothes or a cloth nappy. It wasn’t the easiest fabric to sew seeing it has a waterproof backing. My one sewing friend recommended tissue paper and that solved the stitch skipping issue.

I really loved making my TTT for my daughter on the way. My next sew in the “Newborn series” is the Itty Bitty! Stay tuned.
