A big blue bird

Remember these Urban Jungle soft toys that I sewed for our two eldest? We only had two girls at that moment so of course once our youngest started to realize she did not have one of those big soft toys she started to request one. Enter the perfect Christmas present for our youngest (last year)....

Christmas ornaments

I love Christmas and I love sewing for our Christmas tree even more! I just hung our Christmas Advent Calendar so the Christmas spirit is starting in our house. I sewed our family in mini pals some time ago, which our youngest still loves to play with, so when I saw the mini pals holiday...

Three times Funky Factory Friends soft toys

I love sewing soft toys and have already sewed several for our girls. Luckily our girls love the home sewed soft toys. What I haven't shown yet are the birth soft toys that I have sewed the last years for the birth of each of our girls. For some reason these never ended up on...

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...

Rainbow dress

The look on her face in the first picture really describes her. Always on the lookout to see what she can do (what she is not allowed to do) and then looking very sweet to persuade others to believe in her innocence. This Emerald Isle dress perfectly fits her style: cool and sweet. I like...

Colour blocking with the shift tee

Every time I am amazed how Elles from Misusu designs a new pattern that is so out-of-the-box and different from what I have seen so far. This is also the case for the new released shift tee! This shift tee is perfect for colour blocking and using up scraps, which is totally in my alley....

Puzzling with scraps

The puzzle dress by Made by Runi is perfect for scraps and that is what I love to do: sewing with little pieces of fabric. I don't like to throw out any piece of fabric, no matter how small it is. This dress was just perfect to use up those saved scraps. It was indeed...

Last minutes mittens

Yesterday evening at 10 o'clock I decided that our girls could use some new mittens. They have mittens, they still use these (different girls this time) but of course for our eldest we didn't have waterproof mittens in her size. So far during this winter her fleece mittens were warm enough. However, when building a...

Little Elf Amelie

About a month before Christmas I saw IvL - Hecho con Amor post cute little elves on Instagram, Amelie and Jose. I fell in love with the elves and sewed an Amelie elf for our youngest for Christmas. In her Facebook group you can find the free pattern. I used scraps for the bodice and...

Sew all the underwear

I am definitely a fabric hoarder, I do not want to throw away any fabric. Therefore, projects that are great for scraps are right up my alley, enter underwear sewing patterns. Our girls only wear self sewed underwear and do not know any differently. I started sewing because our girls were rather small when they...
