Three times Funky Factory Friends soft toys

Christmas tree skirt

Christmas is the best time of the year in my opinion. Having my birthday in this period adds to that. I just love the month December. And sewing for Christmas is even better. Last year I sewed this advent calendar, which the girls love and is a big hit. This year I have another Christmas...

Christmas gifts: Slippers for the girls

During colder times our girls love to wear slippers, and not the "boring" ones (according to them) that I sewed for myself. The ones they received last year were getting a bit small, especially for our eldest. So when I saw the Kritter Kicks from Sew U Can Patterns on Facebook, I knew I just...
