School holiday sewing

 

Yesterday I asked Noah to draw a favourite little guy that he likes to draw pictures of. This is what he gave me. He then went through some fabric scraps and chose some fabric. Which we then copied his picture on to.

And then I helped him to sew it all together. What a cool little dude.

Look twins!

I did ask Noah why his eyes look like that !! And apparantly its because he has been spending too much time staring into the computer.

This is such a great school holiday project and the kids really love to see their characters come to life.

Happy New Year and a new camera case

Happy New Year ! Today has been such a hot one so after taking the boys to the beach for a swim I decided to set up my new sewing machine and make something. I don't have much fabric so thought this camera case might be nice to try. I actually changed the pattern a little as I didn't have any cotton batting but wanted to put something in to protect the camera .So I actually sewed some small bubble wrap in there! Yep , is that weird cause I don't really know ..sewing has been pretty limited to sock monsters and soft toys for the kids. Ok and while I'm letting you in on my little secret the elastic actually came from my husbands board shorts. I don't know how successful it will be but at the moment its great . I really love the colour and am pretty happy with how it turned out .
