Zoology and guitars

I made this using Charm Squares baby quilt pattern by Oh Fransson. It was so quick! I made the entire top while my son was napping. In 2 hours I had chosen fabrics, cut the squares and sashing and sewed the whole thing together. It hardly used any fabric at all. I have so much left over of my 12 x 1/2 yard bundle. Many more co-ordinates to come, me thinks.

It's for my baby due in January. You know how I feel about pastels and cutesy patterns for babies!

Measures 40" x 32".

Robots

I thought this fabric was so cute so I bought a 1/2 yard bundle from Figberry on Etsy for a bargain price. Using some other bits of fabric and purchasing the blue sashing, I finished this quilt top. Now I've just got to baste the whole thing before getting it ready for quilting. I'm thinking some straight line quilting along with some hand quilting in some of the blocks...red?

It's my son's 3rd birthday in 4 weeks and I think he'll love it :)

Measures 56" x 56"

Backing fabric

iPad sleeve

I needed to make an iPad sleeve because the ones my husband kept bringing home, well, sucked. I just couldn't get the measurements right, but armed with The Cottage Home's tutorial in Delish Magazine, I finally got it right. Thanks Lindsay :)

I wanted to keep it nice and simple so I didn't add any closures. It is lined with a lovely cream coloured fleece. More pics here.

Reversible flip skirt

This is arguably the cutest thing I've ever made. It's probably because I have a son and have another son on the way. No one here to make cute girly baby clothes for. This is for my husband's co-worker's little girl's 1st birthday. What a quick and easy little gift to make. And how cute is she going to look toddling around with this little flip skirt???

The floral fabric is Kaffe Fassett and the pink fabric is from Spotlight.

Wednesday stash

I had this little bundle waiting for me at work on Wednesday. Boy do I have some plans for this. I just wish I had some more time to sew and plan!!!

Birdie Sling

I'm loving my Birdie Sling bag that I just completed. I was a bit daunted by all the blogging about it. People were saying it wasn't as easy as it is rated. But I found it to be quite a simple construction. So simple, in fact, that I added a zippered internal pocket and a key tag. I'm glad I used 'cheaper' Ikea fabric before making out of the 'good stuff'. I now know what to look out for and what to pay attention to. I'll be making several more of these for christmas gifts!
