Presents!

So I have decided that this year (and possibly from now on) I will be giving books and handmade gifts as presents for all of the nieces and nephews this year.  Toni's book has already been in use and will be used quite a bit more throughout the year!  We celebrated a 1st birthday last weekend and so I made the Cupcake Dress.  It was by far one of the easiest things I have EVER made!  I think the cutting and gathering was the hardest part!  The shirt was from Big W, and the fabric I stole borrowed from Mum's stash.  Expect to see a few more of these in the next couple of months, I want to have a few finished before the baby comes.

I have been eyeing off Melly and Me's new fabric (below) for a  while but wasn't really sure what I would make with it.  Peggy and Bev's Place had a big sale a couple of weeks ago so I picked up these fat quarters for a very good price!  Still not sure what I will use them for but they are really lovely!

The last photo is the boat fabrics I have bought for the new baby.   Haven't got a clue what pattern to use to make a single bed quilt but I'm sure I'll find something!


I think that's all the sewing news for now.  Just need to get into the sewing room and have a bit of a clean up and cutting session!

Finished!!!

Yay!  It's finally finished!  I know it's been a while since I posted, but I have been busy having an extended holiday due to all the flooding.  It did allow me to finish the pinwheel quilt and start a few new projects though so it's not all bad!  I also got to go to Spotlight and just happened to be there when they were having a half price sale on the patchwork fabric!  I must say I was very good and only bought fabric for the new baby, still haven't decided on what pattern to use to make the single bed quilt, but considering how long it took to finish Master 2's, I'm already ahead for this one!

Mum bought me the Make It Perfect Book for Christmas and I have already decided on the projects that need to go on this year's list.  She has a very cool slipper pattern that will make perfect hospital slippers and a dress for our niece who turns 1 next week.  I have made a start on this one and will hopefully be able to show it off next week.  

So, only 1 leftover UFO from last year, which I did manage to do a lot of the hand sewing on while away, and I can start on a list for this year!  

Happy Sewing
