There is not much spare sewing time at the moment..... so any sewing I can squeeze in seems to be presents and bee blocks at the moment.
I have discovered a fab pattern for a bucket hat - which I am now intending to make for several boys who have birthdays coming up.
This was my practice, and it's far from perfect, but overall I was pleased with the result. As it's not good enough to give away the girls will have to share it!
As today is Hope's birthday she has had the Pippi quilt as her gift..... that and a trampoline which is currently half assembled in the garden!
I am secretly thrilled to bits as I've just put her to bed and she asked (no prompting) to have her new quilt to snuggle under.
A very good friend of mine has her birthday in June, so I have got organised and made her a notebook cover from Judith's brilliant pattern, and a zippy pouch. She drives a lime green beetle so this fabric is just right for her.
There are more birthdays coming arrrgggh ....... please can I have some spare time to do my QAYG panels for the weekender bag before the 1st June.
There is never enough time for sewing....you are doing well keeping up with all those birthday presents. I bet you have a real warm fussy feeling knowing that Hope likes her quilt. Good one Mum. Di x
ReplyDeleteThe hat is great and what a fab present set you've made your friend. Too many milestone birthdays coming up in the next 12 months or so to make for! I know what you mean about finding time to sew!
ReplyDeletethe hat is fab. And you snuck finished Pippi quilt in #cheeky. Please please please enter it in the Blogger Quilt Festival this week. please.
ReplyDeleteOh good luck with the time fairy! I hope to get time to do all sorts too!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute hat! And well done on a fab notebook cover! Loving those beetles! Jxo
ReplyDeleteI thought somehow I missed the big reveal of the Pippi Quilt but I looked back a little and don't see a post about the finished quilt...
ReplyDeleteHow did the quilting go? It looks like you did straight lines but my old eyes have a hard time figuring out what they are looking at without words to give me a clue;) I'm so glad she loves it! It looks great on her bed and I like the backing fabric you chose. Are you already planning another quilt? :)
Oh my your two girls are so cute in their hats. So pleased that the pippi quilt is loved and being used.
ReplyDeletePippi quilt is beautiful! What is the hat pattern? I'm wanting to make hats for my kids this summer x
ReplyDeleteoh the quilt is lovely and the hat too. Love the gifts you made. x
