The pattern for the big tote bag is here!! Just last week I put up a post showing you my new library bag. I've had such an overwhelming response to it that I've been working non stop for the last week to get the pattern ready. The pattern has been tested and proof read and I'm so glad it's finished and ready for you to enjoy. I have dreamt of selling patterns for quite ...

Zippered iPhone Wallet – tutorial
Do you ever go out and all you want to take is your phone and maybe your keys and a credit card? But you don't have any pockets? This little wallet is the solution. It snugly fits your iPhone and a couple of cards, and I added a handy little clip for my keys. I originally made this to clip to the Ergo when I go out for a walk, but it's really handy so I've been using it for ...
Easy Polar Bear Glove Puppet
This little hand puppet makes bath time more fun. It doubles as a wash cloth too. I made a few up using the leftover pieces of towelling from making the bath robe. It's quick and easy to put together and you have a few options for doing the face. For one, I glued on the nose and used fabric paint for the eyes and mouth. For the other, I hand stitched the features on. Either ...
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 ...
Christmas Stocking – Tutorial

These stockings are quick and easy to make up and there is no end to the options for decorating these. They can be made from felt, burlap, Christmas fabric, velvet, old felted wool sweaters...the list goes on. Christmas Stocking You'll need: Main fabric - approx 40 x 60 ...
Sunny Felt Mobile
My sister in law is due any day and I have a million ideas for things to make for the baby. I have real trouble picking what to actually make, but knew I wanted to do a mobile. I liked the idea of the happy little sun looking over the baby, so played around until I was happy with it. The sun, clouds and raindrops are made out of felt and I embroidered the face on the sun by ...
Pimp my Ergo – Ergo Carrier Teething Pads Tutorial
I love the Ergo baby carrier. It is definitely the most comfortable way to carry a baby around for any period of time. Roman loves it too, mostly to eat! He loves to chew, dribble and drool all over the straps. It can be a bit of a pain to wash, so I thought I'd make up these teething pads as they're much easier to wash than the whole carrier. You want to use a fairly ...
Free Knitting Pattern: Knitted Baby Uggs
These Knitted Baby Uggs are a lovely modern take on the traditional baby bootee. I've made quite a few pairs of these for Roman, some in cotton, some in wool. I am a slow knitter and I can whip a pair of these up in a few hours. These cute baby uggs are a quick project to knit. You will love this free knitting pattern! The booties are knit in one piece, so there's hardly any ...
Introducing, the Mega Bib!
Roman has a heap of bibs, but most of them are so small, they only cover his chest, even though most of his food ends up in his lap. I have seen the idea of these snap up bibs before, and even have one from Loopy Loos, but decided to come up with my own design. Introducing, the mega bib! This bib is huge! It's long and wide and has snaps to transform it into a pelican pocket ...
Free Knitting Pattern: Simple Knitted Beanie
I knitted this beanie originally for the hubby, but it's a bit short and doesn't cover his ears. With the edge folded over, it fits Roman perfectly. It's nice and stretchy and will fit for many years to come. This simple knitted beanie was a quick make and I whipped it up on a 4hr car trip. It's pretty much one size fits all, as long as you use a nice stretchy yarn. You ...
