Reversible Pinny!



Just a simple little number this time around. For a friend's daughter. They are visiting from interstate and thought that a little handmade dress would be a wonderful late christmas pressie for their little girl!! Its reversible . . pink with spots on one side and the gorgeous striped flowery patchwork on the other  .

A dash of handmade christmas!





Thanks to a Crafty Mama called Tracy and her brillant tutorial . . I created these fantastic fabric trays!  

They are so simple to make  (in fact I made all 3 last night in the space of like a half hour!). . and are such a clever idea for all occassions!

These ones are christmas themed for a swap . . . they snap at the corners but can be stored flat and the best thing . . totally washable!!

They can be any size and height . . any colour . . these are going to be a favourite of mine as the possiblities are endless!

Mama made Mama skirt!


As part of yet another wonderful crafty swap I made this skirt for the Mama . . I thought it would be a nice change from kidlet clothing. I was scared at first not having made for grown up types but it turned out pretty good . .  some improvements for next time ..  it is a simple double layered circle skirt ..  I love the puffs out a bit thanks to the lining!
