In the making - new patterns, new fibers...


Hi friends! Back again, after a mad sewing binge, with my adorable kids (they really are, aren't they?;)) and some beautiful weather.


I made this vest for Tully last night. It's a pattern by Tie Dye Diva. Super easy to follow and really nice to wear. It's a smidgen small for him and when I went back to check the pattern, my printer had automatically scaled it a tad smaller. Darn! Oh well, he'll get wear out of it this winter at least. I used Sarah Jane's flannel (the bikes) and Michael Miller's Micro-Fleece. It feels like soft baby fur! But it's polyester. A-MAZ-ing. I bulked it up with some cotton wadding so it was a bit chunkier. I wasn't sure about it last night but today, on him, I love it!





Evie's wearing a new linen pinafore soon to be available in the shop or by custom order. Oh Linen! My new love! It's soft but textured, plain but textured...I am having lots of fun putting colours together with linen for a whole new, very stylish, modern, but not too grown up, look.


Have you been playing with anything new this week? I'd love to know! xx

  2. Love the Linen with the appliqué. Seeing that little dress makes my mind up - I have to try some too. Love the puffy vest too. Tully looks very happy with it. I'll be surprised if you have managed to get it off him by the time I see you tomorrow.

I so love your comments! I read all of them and reply when I can. If you don't hear back, I'm lost under a mound of scraps or outside jumping on the trampoline with the kids. Jodi. xx
