I just finished this blanket for a friend who is expecting a baby very soon.

I am really enjoying finding different methods of quilting/making blankets at the moment. I am yet to make a ‘proper’ quilt but I like the simplicity of this one.

I happened upon this tutorial on Tea Rose Home and gave it a go, it was very simple and I’d certainly recommend to a novice sewist.

I’ve Been Lazy…

We’ve had a busy month or so, my sewing machine hasn’t seen much action since Christmas. I have made a handful of things, which I’ve neglected to take photo’s of anything in progress.

I whipped up a little play-picnic blanket for our daughter’s tea set at her request, it’s nothing special but how sweet is this ribbon?

I also wanted to share this cushion cover using this lovely Kokka Flora & Fauna fabric.

Lastly, I love these gorgeous pyjama bottoms I made for our daughter. I’m so pleased with them!

Another beautiful piece fabric from Fancymoon for my new Christmas present.

I used the same technique as the two laptop sleeves I’ve posted about previously. I’m so awful at taking pictures as I go along, but I’m worse than normal for this one. I think it’s because it’s quick and I make it up as I go along so I don’t notice until it’s complete!
