I'm not sure how all those other blogger Mums do it. Any time I try to take some photos of Roman wearing something I've made for him, 99% of the photos end up looking like this! Maybe that's why there aren't many blogs with clothing for boys, because it's too hard to get any photos of the finished product being modelled! These jeans are pretty straight forward to ...

The Low-down on Hand-Me-Downs
There is a lot of stigma around hand-me-downs, and I know a lot of people that curl their top lip up at the idea of them, but I'm not sure why. Especially, when it comes to kids clothes. Babies and children grow so quickly that things usually only fit for one season, so it seems a waste to see all your hard earned cash being spent on clothes that may only get worn a few ...
Making a Kids Bath Robe from 2 Towels
Last week, we took Roman swimming for the first time. Once he figured out he could splash, he loved it! So we took him again. After several failed attempts to try and book a baby swim class, I've decided I'm going to teach him to swim myself.After just 2 trips to the pool, I've realised that a towel doesn't cut it. On our walk home from the pool, Roman's towel fell off the pram ...

It is well written, easy to understand and makes a great finished product that is true to size. It's funny that I say true to size, I actually had to make the size 3 - 5 years, even though Roman is only 15 months. That is because ...
Hooded Sweatshirt into a Zip Up – Tutorial
I have this hoodie that I'm quite attached to. It's nothing special, but I feel so nice and cosy inside it. The problem is, I don't really wear it because it's a bit tight around my hips. Well I solved that problem by cutting it up the middle and adding a zip! Now it's a zip up hoodie that I can wear un-zipped or zipped up (the zip adds a tiny bit extra to the width of the ...
Boxing Up and Preserving a Wedding Dress – Tutorial
I, like many others was horrified at the price I was quoted to have my wedding dress packed up. It has since been hanging in the cupboard for the last 6 years. My sister in law hasn't had hers sitting around for quite that long, but when spring cleaning her house, I offered to box up her dress. It's one of those things that I think isn't really all that hard to do ...
