thank you so much everyone; all your kind words about Sophie mean so much more to me than I can say…
just a few more pictures:
Now:
I really should blog about these few things that got made, in some cases, weeks ago!… and just for something a little bit different I’m just going to go with short and sweet, bullet point kind of blogging. Ready set go!
Item 1!
- a new raspberry pink skirt…
- piece 9 in my #make12 capsule wardrobe from my stash challenge that I proposed at the beginning of the year, hurrah!
![]()
- self-drafted
- upholstery fabric from Spotlight stores, and the leftovers from my fibremood Heaven dress that I made previously here
- I bought absolutely zero new things for this skirt!
- huge pockets
- fully lined!
- added a nice bias bound finish to the bottom edge before hemming
- used the same wine-coloured cotton to line the waistband
- actually very pleased with the lining to invisible zip attachment this time
- LOVE IT and already worn it several times
- am thinking of making this into a pattern and writing an accompanying tute for how to do the zip this nicely!
Item 2!
new onesie for little Theo!
- own design, the same one as this one
- cute sloth cotton jersey from Piermont fabrics in San Francisco… I bought this when I was out shopping with Shams, Beth and Yoshimi, during Yoshimi’s and my joint trip to USA together. Wow, I wonder if we will EVER travel overseas, ever again?!
- I did the back opening a little differently from the last time, and it is not as good. Definitely sticking to the way I previously from now on
- nonetheless this is a HUGE success and both he and I (and Cassie) all love it!
Items 3 & 4
little T-shirt and pants for Arthur…
I used some of Tim’s old trousers for the pants… I actually love doing this recycling old clothes/fabrics sort of thing and really want to get back to doing this more again.
- self-drafted pattern, using a pair of his rtw leggings to gauge the size needed
- I added pockets! so cute …
![]()
- to line the pockets and make a kind of facing for the faux fly, I cut pieces from an old purple shirt of Tims… recycling/reusing for the win, or what
- T-shirt based on one of his currently well-fitting T-shirts.
- white cotton jersey thrown out from Mum’s stash, when she did her big cleanout
- I bought absolutely zero new things for this cute little outfit too!
That’s it for now! I’ll be more talkative next time, I promise!
