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.

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 :)

Sensory gift

How to make a sensory square

Recently I've received 2 special request for sensory play square.   So I though I would do a how to made blog.

I'm going to use fat quarters to make the main part of these, this I normally choose a polycotton for the front and soft fleece or absorbent toweling for the back, and different ribbons.

Once I've cut these to the size I want I usually do 6.5" x 6.5" I then select the sensory ribbons to go around the edges between 2 and 3 each side.

Firstly I sew the ribbons on making sure to catch both ends.

Then I attached the backing so the front and back are face to face, and sew again making sure the ribbons are all sewn in, leaving a small gap to pull through to the right side.

I then sew around the complete square this ensures the ribbons are secure and triple sewn for security
