Fleece Hat Take 2!

Well yesterday's hat was titchy tiny when I put (or tired) it on Freddie's head. It would probably be more suited to a 3-6 month old-oops!

So I tried again today, slightly different style with ear flaps, and after measuring his head so I could be sure it would actually fit.

Fleece Hat

Just made a fleece hat for Freddie, just need him to wake up now from his nap so I can make sure it fits and decide if it needs some kind of embellishment.

New Fleece Hoodies

Whilst Freddie had a super long nap yesterday afternoon I was feeling creative and decided to make a fleece for him. The top is completely hand made and I'm so happy with it, The hood took a bit of effort though and turned out a really bizarre shape on the first attempt. Managed to rectify that though.





Then came the embellishment part, I decided to try reverse applique, where the fabric is sewn onto the back and the front is cut to show the fabric through. I love the result, I also love the penguin shape.



Freddie loves it too, he cried when I took it off him the first time when I was just checking the sleeve length!

Here's some pic of him modeling my newest creation :)

Baby Iced Giraffes

This little top is for a collab with TNG and Lush Tush, with woolies and a tiny newborn nappy. I think it's just adorable and think I'm going to get something similar (or the same) made for my new little baby nearer the time too.

The Very Hungry Caterpiller

I had this lovely fabric sent to me to applique onto these T-shirts.
They turned out really well :)
I really love the dotty one, it's so colourful!

Hedgehog T-shirts

Enjoyed making these long sleeve hedgehog tops this morning for a customer of Lisa at the Nappy Garden.
I really love this fabric, got me right in the mood for Autumn, loving the orangery tones and little hedgehogs!

Hope they'll look great with the longies and hat!

Baby Boots

Now that the mornings are getting colder, and we have to be out of the house by 7:15am to take my husband to the train station. The mornings are a huge rush, now in the summer I would just bung Freddie in the car in the same clothes he slept in, but now I have to put some tracksuit bottoms on or something. I am starting to really feel for his cold toes, he hates sitting still long enough to put socks on so I thought I'd I have had a go at making some soft fleece reversible baby boots for him to wear.

















This was the result, unfortunately I made them too small :( I forgot the lining would make it a bit smaller inside-damn! But I like them, think I will have another go with different fabric and get some interfacing so the soles are a bit firmer for him to walk in them if necessary.
