New School Bag
A new backpack was needed for the start of the new school year, and when I looked around at the patterns available the one that seemed to have all the things I wanted was the Star Student Backpack from Peek-a-boo Pattern Shop. Continue reading New School Bag
PE Shorts
Schools here went back last Wednesday, and my list of things I needed to make before they went back contained two things, one of which was PE shorts. Continue reading PE Shorts

A Lovely Year of Finishes 2015 – August Plans
Easy As ABC QAL – Month 5 blocks
Back in August 2013 I began an ABC quilt as part of a six month quilt along. Then after I’d completed the first four months my sewing machine, all my fabric and the blocks I’d made so far were packed up and shipped back to the UK from Australia. Continue reading Easy As ABC QAL – Month 5 blocks
T-Shirts for Summer
I made a couple more t-shirts for the children to wear over the summer holidays.
After the success of the ones I made during Kid’s Clothes Week, I used the same two Fishsticks Designs patterns.
For the big one the size 6 from the Charlie Tee and Hoodie Pattern. He was given free reign of all the jersey in the sewing cupboard and chose the pink. I picked the grey ribbing for the neck. I turned up about an extra half inch in the hem from last time, which makes it a better length on him.
A Lovely Year of Finishes 2015 – July Plans
I am taking part in A Lovely Year of Finishes. The idea is that during the first week of the month we make our plans for what we intend to finish, and during the last week of the month we show off our finished items.
This month I want to work on a quilt I started two years ago, as part of a quilt along. It is an ABC quilt and we received 5 block patterns each month. I was doing well and keeping up until we moved, and I had no sewing machine for several months. The blocks were put in a box and I’ve never carried on and finished them to make the quilt.
The quilt is made of 6 rows of 5 blocks. I have 20 blocks, so the first 4 rows.
This month I want to complete the next row of blocks, so the five blocks from the first month of the QAL I missed.
