Clever Clogs

I've been sewing! I'd forgotten how much fun it was to make things this way. My darling husband bought me a new sewing machine for christmas last year. I was always borrowing mum's before that. This new machine is a beauty as Brock would say. It was fairly inexpensive and is a pretty standard simple machine but geez it's great for me.

I think I may have been biten by the bug. All of a sudden I've got several things half sewn and I keep thinking up more things to try. I have finished one project though and I have to say I'm pretty proud of myself because I made this set without a proper pattern. It's a matching shorts and singlet set for Master Jack.




Now I know the shorts look enormous compared to the singlet, but the singlet does stretch and the shorts are a bit bigger to accomodate Jack's fluffy bum. Cute though huh? Only cost about $6 for the supplies including the singlet!

I've got a nappy cover type set of pants in the pipline too which will be cute. I've almost finished a nappy wallet but I need more black cotton to finish it off properly.

It's been so much fun creating that I'm now surfing Etsy for some unique-ish patterns to buy and download. I need fast patterns so I can get the made while the master is sleeping. I love these little shoes but I don't really think there's be much point at present.

When he wakes up I'll have to try his new outfit on him and take a pic.
