KCWC Day 4

Hello Poppits,

This afternoon was packed with catch up sewing , I manage to get 2 baporons done in about  40 minutes ... or less.I stumbled upon the pattern a few weeks back and knew that i wanted to make some up.

I love how they turned out and they use so little fabric I decided to use up some of my special scraps and it was well worth it. I'm thinking about making another in the laminated fabric that i had left over from the rain coat I made the other day!

KCWC days 1,2 and 3

Hello there Poppits,

I hope all is well in your own little worlds....

Monday marked the start if the kcwc(Kids Clothes Week Challenge) over at Elsie Marleys blog,I saw all the lovely clothes that came out of this last year and knew i just had to be in it this time around !!

I've challenged myself to make one item each day ... so far i'm a day out but hoping to catch up tomorrow :) nap time and night sewing anyone ...

 The first day I make E.P a cute little rain coat using oliver +s school days jacket omitting all the lining and vest options. I was expecting this to be a bit tricky to put together with the laminated fabric ( it's 

Sweet Nothings Laminate by Zoe Pearn by the way)  but the hardest part was trying to sew on self-adisive velcro dots ... never ever again don't even think about attempting it just go for the non-adisve stuff unless you want 3+ wrecked  needles.

Next up is  day twos piece of work/ part of day 3 ( short nap times ... dam you !) a sweet little Lola dress made from my got to vintage dress pattern with the addition of a hand drafted peter pan collar. The fabric adds a cute retro vibe and was super cheap $2 a meter on the throw out table YAY and this only used about 1/2 a meter. As this is the third time using this pattern all problems have been ironed out and is super easy to whip up :)

Day 3 and 4 some cute little shorts for next summer made out of some vintage terry fabric. I used Oliver +s puppet show shorts part of the pattern but didn't use the pockets because the fabric gets pretty think when doubled over and i thought the multi way stripes may end to be a wee bit of an eye sore .

we that's all up to date with the Kcwc part things and hopefully i'll be back tomorrow with my next creation YAY

What our lives have consisted of late...

Well hello there poppits,

How have you been of late supper busy or just chilling in there ?

Well I must say i've been on the slightly busy side of life at the moment.

when i've not been pottering about with Edie in the garden pick things as they ripen such as these yummy black currents we found ripe in our garden, were keeping cool in the shade and snacking on frozen blueberries which we love. 

And come nap/ bed time instead of popping up to Florence for a few hours nice sewing i've been busy making my little creations for  two upcoming markets that i'm doing the first will be the Nook market in Hobart next month  and then a few weeks later it will be off to Deloraine to do the Inspire Handmade Market! YAY

Well TTFN,

Lili  xxx

shop update

Well Hello there Poppits, 

Long time no see, I think the summer vibe has truly gotten to me and  i love to just take things slowly and not worry to much about anything at all. 

That said I've been busy with orders for the shop and making a few new characters.

So now with no further ado I would like you too meet 

 Etta the cat who loves her life by the seaside 

And Coco the fox who makes clothes for her living and pleasure .

Both these little characters and available in the shop.

Oh and this is a version of Poppy the cat, that has been tweaked a bit of a customer in London, She is now sporting a Bandit mask :) which I think is just a wee bit cute.

Well thats all for now lovelies,

TTFN,
