Some * HEART* Sewing!

I LOVE these fabrics! Pattern is FARBENMIX Quiara tunic top, long sleeve, with hood. Leggins are the Riviera pattern, by Nancy Langdon from the book Sewing Clothes Kids Love ( you all have that one, yes??). I love the bell shape of the Quiara, it is brilliant for kids with tummies.

The fabrics are some favourites of mine...

HEARTS knit from JNY Designs of Sweden, with Stripey Knit in red/white, and the hood is in Blood Red, in a new knit coming soon. Slightly thicker than STELLA and a bit warmer- ideal for winter knits.

And although I do have an embroidery machine ( somewhere in there, amongst my 7 machines...) I really like these cute little Janeas World woven badges for a quick fix of super cuteness!

So nice to settle back into some sewing after such a busy week away last week!

Saturday Sewing over at Crafty Mamas!

Farbenmix QUIARA is one of  our very fave patterns. It fits Miss L to a "tee'" and is easily varied to a hoodie, t shirt, warm tunic or even a nighty.  QUIARA has this graceful bell shape to it, which is great for giving tummies a bit of breathing room.

There is also a Mama version- QUIALA!

Another fave is Easy Fit pants by the Scientific Seamstress. I have used this for shorts, jammies, and now yoga pants. It sews up beautifully each time, in knits or wovens.Available for big people too!

So we have the polka-dot short sleeve tee version of QUIARA...

 And the Starry short sleeve QUIARA with Michael Miller Orange Clown stripe SS Easy Fits pants.

And another new favourite thing of ours...the handy dandy apple/spud peeler/corer/slicer!

from Everton, lots of fun!  I have a tray of potato springs in the oven cooking now!
