Christmas presents

Yes, unfortunately you read that correctly I am thinking about Christmas presents that I can sew. The first project is a moustache pillow for my partners niece. Omg there are do many different styles out there. So first point of call was to get the niece to draw half a moustache of her liking. I then cut this out and drew around it on a separate piece of card. I also cut this that shape out and stuck them together.

It starting to look like a moustache 

So the next challenge is to cut out the fabric, this could be a big hurdle to get over. The fabric curls under as I was trying to pin it. Aaaahhhhh!

Spider make up bag

Made a 'spider' large make up bag for my little sister. Fabric- Halloween themed black with silver spiders and webs outside and soft red inside. Rather smart I think 

Bibs for Eva

Made a couple of bibs for Eva Johnston. Love the flowery lady bird fabric, backed with fleece red softness. Hope they fit

New project inspiration

I have been trawling the Internet filtering through blogs looking for inspiration for my next project. I am not quite sure what I want to make but perhaps some thing easy going on the brain..........

There have been quite a few babies born recently so perhaps I could make something for them, little gifts for Christmas.
