For once, I've managed to catch up on some sewing that I have been meaning to do for a while. A few friends have recently had little additions to their families and I've had a list of projects lined up to celebrate their arrivals!
First off has been some personalised alphabet bunting. I didn't use a pattern to make the bunting. It was made out of scraps that I had in my stash and all I had to buy was some bias binding. It wasn't a big job, maybe a day all told.
My second project was something that I have been eyeing up for a while after looking at pictures on flickr and reading other people's sewing blogs. One of my favourite designers, Anna Maria Horner, has wrote a number of books including "Seams to me: 24 reasons to love sewing" and "Handmade Beginnings". I brought Seams to Me when I first got into sewing and it's a great book. I brought Handmade Beginnings this year so that I could make adorable baby clothing for all of my friends who are hatching left, right and centre!
So, hear is my labour of love... (well, it took me just under a day to make my first one)...

| I thought I'd use mis-matched buttons |

| Mr Bear is a very good model when you can't find a 1 year old! |

| Delighted with the result! |
Better crack on and make some more... I'm thinking hungry caterpillar fabric on the outside with apple fabric for the lining! The possibilities are endless!
Cheers for now,
Nic
