Mini owl and Duck - my first paid gig!
I know my lack of blogging may seem like I have not been up to much lately but really that isn't the case! the truth is I have spent a bit of time sewing a couple of gifts for some special bubbas, including my first paid order!
The above is a couple of toys I made for someone from a forum I vist, her friend is having a bubs soon and she wanted them after seeing some photos i posted - very sweet1 Sewing for someone else was a big job though, I was even more of a perfectionist than usual which is saying something! I turned the little owl into a rattle as well by sewing a jingle bell Christmas ornament inside it - very cute.
I have also finally got around to making a reversible personalised baby blanket. I had plans of making these for a number of babies that have popped in the last couple of months, but hadn't had a chance to get around to it until now. My gorgeous cousin has just had her first little one - a boy called Nate so I decided to give it a go. I am pretty pleased with the outcome actually and even managed a half decent job on the binding!
I also haven't had a chance to do much more sewing as I am slap bang in the middle of my photography course which is taking up lots of time, but will post some evidence of that latest hobby soon :)
And I am pleased to report that school holidays are only two weeks away, and my course will be done then so I am planning on getting lots of sewing done! The sweatshirt dress and an apron for me are high on my priority list at the moment.
