MUM-MADE ✂️ One of the great things about sch MUM-MADE ✂️ One of the great things about school holidays is that my boys get to wear their mum-made tees much more often! Here are a couple of Mario tees I made for them last year. I’m so lucky they still don’t care if they’re wearing matching tees when they go out – not deliberately, they just love them so much that they tend to be first out of the drawer. I’m not sure how much longer it will last now that my biggest boy will be turning 11 this year but I’m just enjoying it while it lasts. Mums with older boys – do you still have kids that will wear your handmade clothes? Any tips for making it last as long as possible? 🤔
SEWING GOALS 🙌 So last year I started this rid SEWING GOALS 🙌 So last year I started this ridiculously ambitious project, the “We are the Storm” quilt by @libselliott. It uses English Paper Piecing which is a completely handstitched technique to create this incredible pattern (swipe for the finished pattern). I thought about it for quite a while before committing but I found the finished quilt so captivating! I worked out if I sew 4 rows a year I can have it completed in 5 years. At first that sounds completely crazy but actually I’m really enjoying having a long term slow sewing project to work on. One great thing about it is that it’s completely portable and great for taking on holidays. Here I am working on it at our recent holiday to Kalbarri. I’m only on my second row, so behind already but I’ll see if I can catch up this year. Do you have any long term projects your working on? Maybe trying to reduce your stash (aren’t we all?!)
