Merino hoodie

I made this a while ago, but forgot to take a photo and blog about it.  Lovely pink merino from Levana with a matching stripe lining the hood.  I used a Topkids pattern, and the joys of the early 90s, it was huuuuge.  I cut a 68cm, lengthened it by a couple of inches, and it's still pretty wide...easy to get on and off though, and very handy on cold mornings to put on over pyjamas.

Pink minky nappy, and some inserts


Nappy inserts are hardly worth taking a photo of, but the little tooshie in the second photo makes up for it. Gorgeously soft pink minky nappy, using the old favourite pattern again.  I borrowed an overlocker from a friend this week and it's fabulous - so quick!

Pyjama pants for me

Finally some  non-baby sewing, and my oh my isn't it attractive!  Grey knit with huge flies from the Spotlight clearance table - from memory, about $4 worth here.  I used Simplicity 4380 for these very basic pyjama pants.  I'm going to have to make something else quickly so these aren't the first post for any longer than necessary...

Leggings with bum panel

Cut a pattern from a current pair of leggings that fit.  I added an extra bum panel in to accomodate nappies :)  Unfortunately I cut them out slightly wrong so they ended up a little shorter in the rise than they should be - I've got another pair cut out in red merino, so hopefully they fit!

Pinafore dress

Pinafore dress from the Topkids Baby and Toddler Annual.  It's a size 90, but quite wide and short.  Pinwale cord with floral cotton lawn trim.
