Nautical themes

Hello sailor

Since moving to Norfolk, and living only minutes from the sea, I've decided to do a range of nautical clothing, I've designed a pattern with a boat motif on the front which I though I would make in white with a navy blue boat, and also navy blue with a white or even red boat, I've also got an anchor I've designed and I was also thinking of making matching cargo pants and pairing them up as a set !  



Sail Boat

Anchor
I've also got a crab design and fish 




All these will be made using #JamesCBrett super soft yarn and also #Stylecraft yarns #knitsirdar and #Patons in double knit.

All of these yarns were purchased from #Woolwarehouse and #Deramore


I was also thinking of making a few buggy/car seat blankets with the same sort of motifs with contrasting edges using 3 squares by 6 or 9 square with half motifs and half plain in different colours

I was also thinking of matching a jumper with white knitted trousers would make a lovely Christmas present

This of course got me thinking about summer dresses, shorts and tops but that's another blog 😊

All these hopefully will be available at Norfolk crafts fairs very soon watch this space !!!



Don't forget you can keep up to date on our new items on our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/SunshineBabyCrafts. as soon as I've settled in there will be lots of new items to buy.

Sewing room

New sewing room


The  move to Norfolk I had 3 stipulation for our new house.

1)  a large kitchen as I love cooking and baking and intend to make all my own bread, cakes, pies and jams.

2) a large lounge for cosy nights by the fire

3)  a sewing room, so I didn't have to constantly pack everything away every night

So with this in mind I've been looking for ideas for the perfect sewing room
I need a large sturdy cutting table, a sewing machine table and comfy chair, lots of storage for materials and yarns, hanging space for dresses, trousers and knitwear, shelves for folders and books, racks for cotton reels and ribbons, and pin board for ideas and draws for scissors cutting blades and pens pencils and tapes.  Theses are a few ideas I found 





I love this organised cotton reel / tools board


I particularly like this idea to keep my materials nice and crease free


I will defiantly utilise some of these ideas into my sewing room.
