Burp clothes and nappy pouches

A slight change from the norm.


I've noticed now days new mums use small bags to carry fresh nappies when they go out so I decided to make a few nappy pouch which would also then make a lovely gift.  I've also made a few burp clothes which are double sided using contrasting materials

And now my sewing room is up and running I can use all my lovely materials.

All these will be made from fat quarters, and I will be able to use my popper tool for the fastenings, or buttons. 

The nappy pouches are from a pattern by #Crazylittleprojects.com

The burp clothes are from #So-sew-easy.com

Nappy pouch

The pouches will contain 3 nappies, a pack of wipes and some nappy sacks, and will be small enough to fit in the shopping basket of a pram or buggy.

Here are 2 completed pouches

Burp clothe

These are shaped to fit into your neck for comfort, I used fat quarters and soft towelling to the back for comfort.

Sundresses tops and more

I decided to make a few sundresses, tops with matching shorts, dungarees this year for up coming craft fairs.

I've used a pretty little flower material and a nautical pattern for a seaside vibe.

These two are from a pattern I brought a few yrs ago.

I also found a few nice patterns in the local charity shop its the #Mundesley lifeboat charity shop that I visit most days.

This is the patterned hem I used to see how it looks.

 I like this little rose pattern its very pretty for little girls

I particularly like this daisy material I used french seams on this dress

These rompers are just the ticket for a day on the beach

Tiny rompers

 I’ve been thinking about making some rompers for a few months and I already had a pattern I wanted to try 

took the pattern out of the packet and laid it out and gave it a quick iron to get rid of the creases

I cut out the pieces I needed

This is the material I choose for the rompers cute little animals

And cut them out ready for sewing 

I firstly machined the front seam and thing the back seam and then folded over the edge of the crotch and sewed the seam

Next I set about attaching the yoke this took a bit of thinking about it was a bit fiddly but I got there 

Sewed up the outside of the legs made the button holes and added the button to the yoke 

Finally I hemmed the legs and here is the finished item

Knit 1 purl 1 drop 1

 

What a week, first I make a real rookie error, whilst I was sewing on the front edges on to a cardigan when I realised that I'd completely forgotten to sew the shoulder seams 😕so then had to sew the seams and adjust the tops of the sleeves.  

On my next knit I cast on the wrong amount and after 25 rows I noticed 😄 so I had to undo it all and start again.

I'm hoping this will be the last of these lapses and I can get on knitting with out any mishaps.
