Hi everyone. Day two of the Thread Faction SS2016 Blog tour, and don’t worry, I will send you off shortly to check out today’s creations. But first it’s my turn 🙂 I am adding to my new Youtube channel again today, starting off a series of videos demonstrating some basic knit sewing techniques I use in my patterns. I will…
I knew I had been quiet on the blog for a while, but then I looked up and 5 months had gone by!! Wow, I have a good reason though, I have been head down working on my very first pattern collection which I launched late last week. I won’t go on about it a…
Just a quick post today to round out my crazy series on turning socks into pants for babies.
So, the most popular post on this blog, 5 min baby and toddler leggings, has been on the blog for 4 years and has had between 50 and 120 hits per day for the entire time, that is over 65000 hits. So I thought it was time I gave the topic some more love and…
So, our second little miss is growing at a rate of knots. She is just 6 months old and has outgrown her 00 wardrobe entirely and my collection of gorgeous hand-me-downs is all but depleted, so it is time for some sewing.
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.

However, like sometimes happens, once I got them home they weren’t quite right for me (freakishly high neck lines for a ladies shirt making my bust look really low – but that is another story). So the shirts sat in my cupboard, never seeing the light of day until a favourite little play dress of ours finally became un-wearable and I saw the opportunity for a conversion and to perhaps feel a little better about the unused shirts.
Here is what I came up with:

So…
Are you a sewing nerd like me?
I found myself today, standing in front of the baby shoe section at the shops, there was a pair in my daughters size, they were perfectly presentable, and they were on special for $6.75. Instead of buying them however,I decided to spend the only available ‘baby sleeping time’ today making some instead.
What can I say, I am a sewing nerd, I have no logical justification for making these shoes, and I have no excuses that you can use either, but if you would like to have a go, the pattern is here and the instructions are below 🙂
