More toy bags

These toy bags are for the nieces/nephew/our baby that wouldn't have been around when I did the first lot!  It is a terrible photo and shows off the lovely ironing board and curtains but I am running out of time!  At least the sewing room is now clean and tidy, with a bed all ready for Mum to come and visit.  I figured I wouldn't really have much time to clean when the baby comes home so it needed to be done today (I'm sure this is the nesting talking)!  I also finished cutting out Mr Fix-IT and baby's quilt and will take them with me to keep me occupied while waiting for bubs to make his entrance.  I am also taking my hand sewing hexagon project.  Will try to keep updating as I go, but I expect the next couple of months to be pretty busy.  Hopefully there will still be time for sewing!

And even more hats!!

Yep!  I have made more hats!  They are so easy now - especially when you only make 2 at one time!  A hat for our new baby, and a hat for a friend's baby due in September.  The nesting must be setting in, or I am procrastinating about cleaning other parts of the house!  I have also joined an online group not to buy any fabric for the entire month of April and to use material in my stash to make things.  I have so many things on my UFO list, that I can be fairly confident that I won't need to set foot in a fabric shop!  I have cut out baby's quilt and would like to get started on it this weekend but I also need to cut the Mr Fix-It quilt.  So many things to make, so little time!

Slippers!

So I have a few things to show off!  Master 5 was invited to a birthday party and I thought that another 'Peek-a-Boo' toy sack and some Lego would be a great present. The other toy sack is one of the ones I finished a few weeks ago.  The Mum asked if I had made it and then asked if I sell them!!  Still thinking about it.  Might wait until after the baby comes along and we see how busy we get!

 

 Next is another MIP pattern.  Out of the book, the 'Chill Out Slippers' have been on the list and I finally got the motivation to make them.  My purple pair will be great for in hospital and the boys just love theirs - Master 5 even slept with them on the first night!

Last picture is another project I've been thinking about for a while.  I wanted to make my own nappy covers.  I didn't really want to get into the whole MCN (Modern Cloth Nappy) thing as I know this is our last baby and I have heaps of terry flats that I can use.  Thinking about how I would actually make them took the longest and I finally finished them off this morning.  At this stage I have only made the 2 in size 000 as I want to make sure they work out okay before making more.  I have some really bright yellow and red flame PUL (plastic backed fabric stuff) to make more so we will see how it goes.

We are all over the horrid gastro bug but now Master 5 and I have tonsillitis!  So taking advantage of the fairly quiet boys I am going to hopefully spend some more time in the sewing room cutting out some more projects!

Happy Sewing!
