Pinny For My Princess

The Clothkits Pinny Kits are real cute and so very easy to whip up for the novice sewist. Each kit comes with a detailed step by step instruction on how to put all the parts together. I did my daughter's pinny in about 2.5 hours, from cutting the marked fabric, and basic straight stitching all round. I must say I was so impressed with my work and I think my princess loved putting them on and showing off her pinny!

Sofa So Good!

Yippee! We got our re-upholstered sofa back a few days ago with a brand new look and I love the fact that it adds a burst of colour to our wooden brownish deck!

I used Amy Butler's Bright Buds home decor fabric from the August Fields range which is heavyweight cotton sateen and perfect for re-upholstery.

I wish I had pics of the sofa before it was sent for the makeover!

What Can I Do With A Piece Of Fabric???

I have been asked many times "What can I do with a piece of fabric?".
Well, my response has been - Many things! It's really up to your imagination!

But I have used it for my toddlers pillow cases. I'm re-upholstering my sofa with one of Amy Butler's home decor fabric (I can't wait to show it to you!), made a few dresses for the flea, made the bags, etc..

My mom recently made this cute little apron for my little niece and nephew.
I think it's great when they help mummy out in the kitchen or for one of their painting sessions!

The Kokka patchwork fabric on the front of the apron is absolutely cute and suits kids!
