Edwards new scarf

 

My grandson asked for a new scarf over Christmas, so I let him pick the colours he wanted, so the scarf will be in pear green & baby pink stripes with a little fox face on each end.

Next we looked on the internet for a fox face chart and found one he liked the best.

So here it is, I posted it down to him and I hid a few chocolate coins as a surprise and he insisted on wearing to nursery to show his friends :)

 

Eds new romper

 

Foxy new rompers

As our grandson is now mobile and his wears fun stretch jersey rompers I decided I would made him a pair, I've found some lovely stretch jersey at #Susansworkbasket in Attleborough and picked up a few different one.

As I've never made these before, and didn't have a pattern I drew one up myself.

As you can see I've chosen the fox design for my first try

Using both my normal sewing machine and my over locker for extra stretch I've sewn these pieces together.

An here is the finished item and I really hope Edward enjoys wearing them

 

I'll see how these fit and I might even make a few to sell at my next craft fair.

A little tummy time

How to make a quilted play mat.

With a bit of time on my hands I've decided to make a quilted playmat for our new grandson Edward.

So I've been looking at different designs and picking the best bits of each one, next I got out my  trusty box of fat quarters to see which ones would be the most perfect baby ones.

Now down for the fun bit, cutting out the basic backing material, also nice thick wading for the middle layer to make the mat lovely and soft,  and now the best part the multi coloured top layer.

First of all I'm going to appliqué animals and flowers onto the fat quarters, adding a little stuffing under neath to squishyness, then I've added ribbons

Edward loves to have a kick and tummy time every day
