Stripey top

50c fabric from the opshop.  Used a Topkids pattern in size 80 - it was strangely flared, so ended up cutting around an inch off each side.  Mum sent up some cute apple buttons to finish it off.

More pyjamas...surely she has enough nightwear now...

It's a catch up day today - lots of projects unblogged!  These are pyjamas made from a Supre t-shirt from the opshop, and some merino ordered from Levana over the phone - very helpful customer service there.  Pants are far too short, they're more like knickerbockers!

Cover it all up bibs

Mealtimes are a messy affair around here, and I needed something that stopped short of a contamination suit, but gave better coverage than the average bib.  These look like G is going to give someone an xray, and don't save the sleeves or the trousers, but usually we don't have to change the entire outfit after eating with one of these bibs on...used the pattern from here to start with but modified it so I didn't have to use binding and so it covered a bit more.

The first bib is a beach towel from the clearance section at Farmers, backed with a waterproof towelling pillow protector from the op shop.  The second is quilting cotton backed with an old towel.

Quilt for a friend

A friend and I made this quilt for a colleague who is going through a tough time health wise.  2 packs of Kaffe Fassett squares and some blue homespun.  Quiltlite (?) batting.  The fabric is actually quite rich in real life...sunshine too bright for my camera it seems.

Not sure whether this counts as a project to blog!

Picked up this Nature Baby singlet at the hospice shop for $1 but the stitching on the binding was coming loose...I just went over it with a similar looking stitch on the sewing maching.  Doesn't look great, but hey, it's a singlet - who cares!

A bit boring...

Not a lot of finishing projects going on around here - just a lot of starting :)  I've got a little dress for G almost finished, 2 quilt tops, 5 nappies, a lap quilt I needs to back with fleece and tie, a pair of jeans for G...might have a finishing week methinks!  Above is another Rocket Bottoms nappy, nothing different from last time.

Buggy liner

Went to Spotlight today (30% off sale) and picked up a metre of this little birdy print for $4.20, plus some polyester wadding.  This is the umbrella fold stroller that fits in the car boot and actually leaves room to fit in something else!  But it's not very comfortable looking - hopefully this will help.  Used a double layer of wadding, just measured the stroller to check where the buttonholes needed to be.  Should have rounded the top slightly so it fitted a bit neater but I'm sure the passenger won't notice, so I'll ignore it too :)

Now to make a sleeping bag/foot muff thing for the mountain buggy.

Stool recover

Recovered a little stool for G's room for her radio to sit on so we can have our small coffee table back.  Finally figured out what was causing blogger to rotate photos - needed to turn off the 'auto rotate' function on my camera.  Alternatively, save all photos as PNG files before loading them.

From pyjamas to pyjamas

 Pair of girls size 11 pyjama pants from the Hospice Shop - $2.

Used some blue merino that's been in the stash forever to make up a pair of size 0 pyjamas.  They look awfully big!  Used Amvic Knit Kit 1979 for the top (cut a size 0 with a size 1/2 for length) and started to use the Amvic pattern for the legs but it looked odd so ended up kind of winging it...might not be enough room in the bum.

Yet more bandana bibs...

The least I can do when they're a repeat of a previous project is arrange them in a pretty circle.  These have been selling well at Playcentre for $6 each.  I did have 3 more but sold them before I could take a photo.  Bamboo velour backing, various cottons for the front.

Op shop top resized

Before - size 20, brand 'Eaton'....$1 from the Sallies.  Quite nice fabric.

After - cut the shirt apart because the shoulders would have been too wide if I just took in the side seams.  Recut using Kwik Sew 3643 size M, although think I could have cut a small.  Also wondering whether the flowery thing (made with the bits I cut off) is on the wrong side.  Oh well, very comfortable and would be good for work.  Asked the man what he thought and he made a face and said 'very professional'.  Read....not sexy in the slightest.

I think it's my computer that's rotating the photos, but goodness knows why.   My 3 readers will just have to tip their heads.

Doggeee sleeping bag

The first of a set of sleeping bags for dollies/bears or in this case, 'doggeees'.  For my little goddaughter who is turning 2 at the beginning of April.
