Ottobre Design 1/2009 "Hertta"

The trouble with owning Crafty Mamas?

I am spoilt for choice. I have access to so many amazing fabrics and patterns...that sometimes it is overwhelming. So to help me focus I am concentrating on one Otto issue each week. This week it is 1/2009. 

Available as a back issue from the Crafty Mama shop. 

This is the adorable HERTTA skirt. This fabric is one I had printed at Spoonflower ages ago. I had seen the Peter Alexander jammies in crochet print flannel and had plans to do the same. But somehow I like it better as a skirt- trimmed with some light weight denim from my stash and some adorable mushie ribbon by Janeas World ( also at Crafty Mamas!).

MODKID Penny in Bed of Roses STENZO!

I loved this fabric the moment I  first saw the swatch...ever have fabrics like that?  STENZO Bed of Roses, cotton/elastomeric knit. And in real life, you almost expect it to exude a rose fragrance! I had to make Lil a Penny, her current fave pattern from the new Modkid range.

 This Penny in size 8-10 ( I tweak) took 1 metre of  glorious Stenzo knit.

Sweet as!

Oh, make sure you enter the STENZO Give-away too!

KIDS TSHIRT/TANK CLEVERNESS

For the Aussie Crafty Mamas, Kmart has a veritable plethora of kids ( and mamas) tshirts and tanks in differing styles for $4-$7. They are 100% cotton, too! I grabbed a few this morning. I like to have  some of these on standby as they make great gifts when dyed up all pretty like, or embellished. The Crafty Mamas shop has some really cool -patterns for projects like these too!

Monkey's Bugs designs have these cool epatterns...

BREEZY is a really cute panel dress with a tshirt or tank top. 

TWIRLY is an adorable tiered tshirt dress.

Also the Crafty Mamas forum has Reconstruction area, for even more inspiration.

And how amazing is THIS?

From "Stop staring and start sewing".

For some embellishment tutes and clever ideas, visit Lil Blue Boo.

This talented designer offers some really cool free graphics for you to print on tees too.

So stock up on those plain tees! 

Happy Sewing!
