toddler toy tidy

This week I finally got around to making a little toy tidy drawstring bag for my little boy. Hes 2yrs old and has a lot of little cars & trucks which seem to be EVERYWHERE!!
I was in the fabric shop and spotted the most perfect fabric for this project and it was half price!!! happy days! So got a couple of sq mtre and couldnt wait to get started.
I searched a few tutorials online and usually end up doing my own variation.
Anyway it resulted in this

Then I made another one but I made the drawstring longer and turned it into a backpack.

Now I'm addicted!!! so what can I do with a load of drawstring bags well I'll tell you .......
First I'm going to get myself to Ikea and buy some nice hooks then my bags are going to become bedroom toy tidies for my toddlers wall.
I'll be sure to post a photo when I eventually get round to doing this :)

christening gift for my norwegian niece

This week I got an interesting call from a friend who asked me about bandana bibs & a potential business opportunity. Well this got me thinking big time !  Baby gifts !! of course, everyone is having babies these days, especially my age group so at the moment I'm researching fabrics etc for cute bandana bibs....... Its going pretty well. this evening I've finetuned the pattern  and next is to show my product and hopefully start discussing fabric prints etc :)

But in the meantime I decided to make my niece a little christening gift as we're heading over to Norway for the June bank holiday to finally meet her and go to the christenng. so I made this ....

Cute arent they!! :)

Now as a result my mums friend has asked me to make a set of 3 girlie bibs for her grandchild :)
