I made up this little rattle the other day and he's pretty cute! It was a quick project and I'm happy with how it turned out. My best friend's baby is getting Baptised and I wanted to include a couple of handmade gifts among her presents. This is a great stash busting project. I had the fabric already from making another toy and also had the ribbon (no idea what I originally ...

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 I originally made this to clip to the Ergo when I go out for a walk, but it's really handy so I've been using it for ...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 ...
Bunny Softie
I made this for Roman just before he was born. He's not big on soft toys, but I still think it's pretty cute. I've been doing my best to try and get him attached to it, but I just don't think he's a soft toy kinda guy. He's not even 1 and he's already such a boy! I used the Martha Stewart pattern below for the ears, and the Revoluzzza pattern for the body, arms and legs. I ...
1 month to go!
In less than a month, Roman will be turning 1! I can't believe how quickly the year has gone by, even with more sleepless nights than I thought possible. I embellished this little tshirt for him to wear on his birthday. I printed out the number and then cut it out of the paper to make a stencil. I used the stencil BACKWARDS to trace the 1 onto the paper side of some ...
Things for Mums – Lace Tuxedo Tank
This top had a grease stain on it that I couldn't get rid of, so rather than throwing it away, I thought I'd pretty it up and hide the mark at the same time. I've been wanting to do something like this for ages and I'm really happy with how it turned out.I started by hand basting a line down the middle in contrasting thread. Then I worked from the centre out sewing on lengths ...
Tag Cube Soft Toy – Tutorial
This quick little toy can be whipped up in under an hour with some scraps of fabric and ribbon. The only other thing you need is some hobbyfill (stuffing). I chose ribbon and fabric with different textures and patterns to make it more interesting to play with. It would also be cool to put a rattle or bell in the middle of this...next time!(The product tester)Taggie ToyYou'll ...
