Baby Burp Cloth

Almost half way through the year and I've only managed to create eleven posts.  Dismal, really.

I had made some baby burp cloths for a colleague who recently had a baby, well 18 of them, I thought I took photos, but didn't.

People keep telling me that I should make more of them, so I made a few, we'll see who is interested.  I will be making more in other fabrics.

These fabrics must be about 20 years old, in another life a friend and I did craft markets, this fabric is left over from then.  I've always liked these fabrics, they are bright and cheerful.

I used the pattern from So Sew Easy, this site lives up to it's name.

These are quick to complete, which is good when you are trying to get your sewjo back.


Happy sewing everyone.

4. Monday Basic Raglan T-shirt and Friday Evening Dress. Ottobre

Amazing how a new piece of equipment can change the way and what you sew.

So, it's time that I revisited some Ottobre patterns that I've either used before or have avoided because I hated using a regular sewing machine on stretch fabric.

I revisted Ottobre Autumn/Winter 5/2013 - 4. Monday Basic Raglan T-shirt and Friday Evening Dress. Check out Fans de Ottobre Design blog.

I purchased this geometric fabric and had enough to do the dress and the T-shirt (had to use another fabric for the sleeves in the T-shirt).

I am so much happier with the finish of my stretch garments with my Janome CoverPro, I'm certainly a lot happier sewing stretch fabric.

Happy sewing everyone, I'm tackling a complex coat pattern this weekend.
