A Royal Baby

July 23, 2013 by Abby 8 Comments

I love any baby news, so when I heard that the Duchess of Cambridge was in labour, I was pretty excited. Congratulations to the new family on the birth of a Prince!

I imagine their time at St. Mary’s hospital was very different to mine. Roman and I spent 2 nights there when he had to go on IV antibiotics for possible meningitis at 8 weeks old. Everything was fine in the end, and we were very glad to get home again.

Ted is now wondering what life would be like if he was a Prince… Corgis to play with, lots of rooms to play hide and seek in, a hilariously inappropriate Great Grandfather.

But no big brother… Oh well, time for a royal nap.

We wish Kate, Wills and the baby Prince all the best! Enjoy your time together. No rush on pictures, these will do for now.

    Ted looks very royal! Perhaps a namesake for the future King? Prince Ted? Mwah

    Brilliant post and loved the photos. William and Kate will be very lucky if he’s half as cute as Ted. We’re favouring Kevin for the as yet unnamed Prince!

    Ted looks so adorable, I hope he’s been wearing the crown everywhere he goes. It does make me think of Max in ‘Where the Wild Things Are’, especially as he’s wearing white. The name was announced earlier – it is George.

Secret pyjamas! My dress for this year's @sew_melb Secret pyjamas! My dress for this year's @sew_melbourne garden party was the Charlie Caftan by @closetcorepatterns. I shortened it at the shoulders by an inch and think I shortened it at the bottom too. I altered the pockets so they attach into the waist panel, because I hate when in-seam pockets flap about and pull at the side seams. The side slits are a double turn narrow hem as the overlock and turn as suggested in the pattern looked puckered. The fabric is a Cotton + Steel rayon by Masaru Suzuki, which is a dream to sew with. I've made another dress in the red colour way.
Beans from the garden and my favourite way to eat Beans from the garden and my favourite way to eat them... Stir fry in hot oil (coconut is delish but whatever you have is fine) until a bit burnt (about 5 mins). Chuck in a few squirts of fish sauce for the last 5 secs and toss through. 
Give them a minute to cool if you can lest you burn your mouth.

Instead of finishing the brim edge with bias, I did the usual RST stitch, fold and top stitch. That means the brim is a little shorter than the pattern. I wanted to keep the hat lightweight, so it's unlined and has only the two layers of canvas fabric for the brim. The cotton canvas is a vintage fabric from my stash, which originally cost 15 shillings and 9 pence (I think) per yard.
