I don't normally cook with an apron, but really I should!  I love looking at aprons and think they just make your kitchen look complete!

Today I finished these two reversible aprons, both made using Erin McMorris Park Slope fabric and a little bit of Heather Ross's dots.  

Retro Mushroom Pencil Roll Holder

It's been a while since I made a pencil roll holder, so I thought I would make one this afternoon. I found this mushroom print and added some polka dot fabric, a here it is!

This Pencil Roll holder is for sale in my etsy store as well as the PDF Pattern for my Pencil Roll Holders

1930's reproduction prints Baby Quilt

My latest baby quilt was made using 1930's reproduction prints by Windham fabrics, Story Book.  I just love these little prints!  

Pinwheel Quilt

I finished this quilt last November, but somehow forgot to add it to my blog, so here it is!  

The quilt is a Pinwheel Quilt with mostly Moda Recess fabric, but also some Flea Market Fancy & Michael Miller ''Rockets''.  For backing I used an IKEA Numbers fabric which I just love.  I used Michael Miller ''Ta Dot'' for binding.  


I used Thimble Blossoms "WILD THING" pattern but added borders to each block.  

a Little Halter Dress

a Little Halter Dress

I've been thinking about making some dresses for little girls for a while now, but just haven't got around to it. So tonight I made this one for my daughter, Mia. It was really easy to make, so I can't wait to make a few more now! Best of all, she liked it too!

Pickledish Quilt - Baby Cot Quilt

Pickledish Quilt - Baby Cot Quilt

I finished this baby quilt yesterday using Aneela Hoey's Pickledish Quilt pattern.  It was a fun pattern to work with and now I'm thinking of attempting a larger one.  Like most quilters, there is always an endless amount of scraps left over, which is all this quilt needs!  

Hello Winter

♥♥♥

Winter has arrived early in Melbourne this year, so last night I decided to make this Hot Water Bottle Cover.

a little pink quilt...

Having returned to the workforce full time now for three months - after 10 wonderful years at home with my 3 kids - I'm slowly finding time to sew again. Tuesday nights have turned into sewing nights with me sewing in the toy room, whilst the kids are playing and watching TV. It's a nice way to wind down after a busy day at work. Last week I made a little quilt for a girl turning 10 years old, using mostly Joel Dewberry's Sparrow Collection fabrics and some of Tanya Whelan's Ava Rose fabrics.

Babushka Love

♥♥♥

I'm having too much fun making these, so I will just keep going with them for a while! Yesterday I the made one with Red Hair in the same design as the first one (because I had left over fabric) and then I decided to make the Blonde one in mainly Denyse Schmidt fabrics!

Babushka Doll

I've been wanting to make this Babushka doll for a while and tonight I started my first one. I have another 4 to go. I made this one using fabric from Tone Finnanger's TILDA collection. 

I found that the pattern (by Ooshka) was difficult to read as it was written in centimeters and not inches - most patchwork mats, rules etc are in inches - and also a lot of unnecessary pre-cutting of fabric, rather than just sew 4 strips together in correct width/length. The end result was the same, but I think the pattern should be re-written for the AU/USA market personally.
