Well I know that you have been waiting with baited breath, but finally, the results are in and it’s Made By Me for the win!! If you have no idea what I am talking about, check out the original post for all the details, but the general idea is this: A little over a month…
I sew A. LOT. and although I would like to say it was, by no stretch of the imagination is everything I make up-cycled, zero waste or otherwise sustainable or eco-conscious. There are some occasions though, where it just makes sense to take the eco option. Picture this: You are shopping for sweater knits. You…
If you watched the recent ABC series War On Waste you were probably as surprised and appalled as I was to find out that in this country (Australia), we throw away 6000 KG of fashion and textile waste every 10 minutes. In the episode covering the issue, the waste was put down to our love of…
Between the generous bags of hand-me-downs from friends, and the clothes that I make, my kids wardrobes were getting overrun with clothes. Despite this, the kids never seemed to be able to find/put together a respectable outfit. I love my kids (4 and 6 years) having their independence, and being able to express themselves through…
I have had an absolute ball in the studio this week and couldn’t be happier with how this little project turned out. So I thought I would post up a tutorial so you could make one of your own.
If you have a little one in cloth nappies/diapers and you were looking for a natural cover solution you may have come across wool covers (which are fantastic but I won’t go into all the benefits here – google it, you will be amazed) but then been bowled over by the price.
If you would like to have a go at making the cover above, check out my series on drafting a pattern and sewing a wool or fleece nappy cover on my other blog
I have been wanting to get some leg warmers for our little one. We are doing a little toilet training, and getting all those winter layers on and off every time she needs to use the potty is a little tiresome.
Leg warmers are fab, one less thing to take off, and she doesn’t get so cold sitting on the potty. But at around $15 per pair…
…well like I tell my husband, It’s not that I don’t have it, I would just rather spend it on a Caribbean holiday:)
So…
So, I mentioned in my post Super quick and easy up-cycled toddler tracksuit that I had salvaged more than one tracksuit top from my husbands charity bag, well this little number is the results of my second toddler tracksuit transformation.
Here is the second part in the Super quick and easy up-cycled toddler tracksuit
PART 2 The Tracksuit top
I was on my way to my workroom this afternoon to get started on the tutorial pictures for a lovely little size one hoodie (which I will get around to so stay tuned), when my husbands bag of clothes for charity caught my eye.
I had a bit of a rummage and found a tracksuit top that I just couldn’t resist doing a conversion on.
I had a play around and it turned out really well so I thought I would share. This is a fun and super easy project – the finished product looks much fancier than the sewing involved.
