Link Party Likes #11

 

Last week I finally managed to get in front of the sewing machine.  It was so great to finally make something again.  I had a lovely lady ask for a bib and burp set made these lovely owl prints:

It was also my birthday on Friday and my wonderful husband bought the Simplicity Bias Tape Machine that I have been wanting for ages:

So I had to go to my local spotlight and stock up on all of this:

I also had the pleasure of testing a pattern for Sumo Sweet Stuff.  Just loved making these dresses for my girl’s.  Very easy to follow instructions so keep an eye out for this one:

I’m also part of a charity drive for Dress a Girl Around the World so will post some pictures of the dresses when they are finished.  It’s a great cause and if you love sewing why not take part.

But for now here are a few things I found and loved on the Link Up Party’s last week:

Sew much ado has shared this maxi dress tutorial.  Going to give this one a go as I would like to make a few dresses for myself this summer:

Katie J. Gibson show’s how to make a nursing blanket:

Etcetorize made her own version of a victoria secret dress:

Everyday Art, again love what Emily comes up with:

 

Got to love the owl craze that is going on at the moment. Here is another take on the owl craze by Off My Hook:

Love this 3 Stitch Summer Dress over at A Law Students Journey:

 

And last but not lest, why not refashion your old t-shirts into something new just like over at Just Down the Hall has:

I’m off to sit in front of my sewing machine.  Happy Sewing!!!!!!

Bits and Bobs 4 Bubs

As I am expecting baby number 3 in June, hubby and I got around to talking about all the bits and bobs that we still have and no longer have for the new bub.

I also got to thinking about all the lovely things that I didn't have with my two girl's that I would love to have now.  So I put on my thinking cap and armed myself with my measuring tape, pad and pen and set out coming up with ideas and patterns for all those lovely goodies.

And now that I am going to be a stay at home mum for a few more years, I thought I would put my hobby to good use and become a Work At Home Mum.

Thinking about it now I am a bit scared and what am I thinking with a new baby on it's way but I need to get out of my comfort zone and believe in myself. 

And so that is how Bits and Bobs 4 Bubs was born:

So what have I been up to, well here are just a few things that I have already made:



Trolley Covers

 

Capsule Insert but not happy with it currently re-designing




Nappy Wallet



Capsule/Car seat/Pram Insert



and of course gotta make some Bibs and Burp Clothes



Seat belt Covers

And lots lots more still to come.  I also have a few crochet projects in the works and thinking about giving Bits and Bobs it's own blog so will keep you updated.

So please let me know what you think, would love to hear your feedback and checkout my Facebooks page.  Thanks for your support.

Have a great day!!!!!!
