The finished product

I sat up tediously cutting out the appliqués for the tee. Wasn't as bad as i thought it would be but still tedious, especially with a baby who wanted to be awake all night rather than sleep.

Anyway, here is the finished product :)

The cutest fabric EVER!!!

I came across half a yard of the cutest fabric on the face of the earth. I knew i just had to buy it and then later on figure out what i would do with it.

Finally today, whilst the weather has been so nice i have put together a pair of gorgeous shorts for Ethan...yes i do actually sew for my kids LOL

I had to find something that would match for a top and found another piece of fabric from the same story that is just as cute.

So whilst it is sunny, the extra is out on the line drying so i can cut it up and appliqué it to a shirt tonight...all going to plan he *may* get to wear it tomorrow when we go down and see the farm animals visiting the local park.

And if you are wondering where the photos are...they are coming. Master Ethan is tucked away in bed and the camera is in the bedroom, we all know you NEVER wake a sleeping baby - especially when said baby is teething

A gift for Cael

Yet another precious little premmie, born too soon. I am on a premmie forum with Caels Mum and thought that some gowns for a little man would be the least i could do, hopefully to bring a smile to his Mums face.

These are the first little boy gowns that have gone out :-D

The gowns are taking over

Everywhere that i look i see gowns, they are taking over the room. They are finished, almost finished, needing snaps, needing to be sewed. They are on the sewing machine, on the ironing board..actually taking up any free space i can find!

And of course now it is nice sunny weather, exactly the type of weather you do not want when you have a lot of sewing to be done.

But i have lots of important sewing to be done...another gift for a precious little premmie, although this time it is a little boy. I have gowns heading to Canberra, WA, SA, Melbourne, Brisbane and the prembaby organisation. And not to forget the ones that are going locally.

The gowns that is...figured it should be safe to post them now ;-)

To give an idea of size, this is one of the small gowns - so teeny!

Another day, some more gowns

So my current project for the NICU has been put on hold, at least for another day. Another Mum on a forum had a prem baby so i have been busily whipping up some more little gowns for her little one.

Cant say too much or show the pics as yet but they are so cute...if i had a clucky bone left in my body i may just be tempted to cluck..add to that the fact her little one is so darn cute!!!

And of course with all this sewing, the pants i had cut ready to sew for Jack no longer fit!!! Typical, its taken so long for him to actually grow and now he is growing far too quick for me to keep up with!

Gowns for Emma

Recently a Mum on one of my forums delivered her little girl at 32 weeks. So i decided to offer her a set of premmie gowns as a gift from one prem Mum to another. These are the gowns i made for little Emma



They are currently jetsetting their way to her and now it is time to move onto my next project, i have 30 odd gowns that need to be finished to take to the NICU!
