Number Book

Hooray!  The last of the projects from 2010 are finished!  I started this number book last year sometime and have finally managed to get it finished.  It's a Kids Quilts pattern - another of my current favourite pattern designers.  It has 10 pages in total so there was quite a bit of hand sewing involved.  I really like how it turned out.  I was going to finish before my friend's girls birthday last year but it will now be a big sister present for later in the year. 

Another project down, next I think I will tackle some hats and slippers (I cut out templates for these this afternoon)!

Happy Sewing!

'Peek-a-Boo' Toy Sacks

After finishing the 'niece' birthday presents last week, I was all motivated to finish the 'nephew' presents.  These were really easy.  It's another Make It Perfect pattern that Toni had posted on her website.  Best part - it was FREE!  The Peek-a-Boo Tutorial was really easy to follow with lots of good photos.

So, another job done, but still soooo many more to go.  I will have to get stuck into more of them this week as time is going to be a bit scarce soon!

More Cupcake Dresses!

So I see a good pattern and think that will make nice presents and decide to make 5!  Crazy woman!  But these are so easy that has only really taken about a day to make 5.  I used some of my Melly and Me fat quarters on 2 of the dresses and the rest of the fabric came from either Mum's or my stash.  So all the nieces have a birthday present and they are all done so that when the time comes I just have to send them off!  How's that for organised!  I have got an idea for the nephews in the family and will have to start on those soon so that they can be finished before the baby arrives.  Sew many projects, so little time!

Happy Sewing
