I love the range of options and that gorgeous draped hem. I have a ton of knit fabrics in my stash and would dearly love to turn them into something that would be both comfortable to wear and flattering.

Congrats guys! Please drop me an email so I can email back your Lovely Layers pattern.

For those missed out, look for my next Give-away! You can also grab your own copy of the Lovely Layers patterns here.

Designed for knit fabrics, ( with a min of 20% stretch), The Lovely Layers top is a beautiful design, with many variations!

The Lovely Layers top is a perfect transeasonal addition to your wardrobe.

There is a very small part of the Crafty Mamas Shop that from time to time has my hand made items for sale. Why would a busy shop owner make items to sell? Because I love making kids clothes- and my own children have overflowing cupboards! 

Boys (or girls) long sleeve tee to Give-away!! Sizes 1-4

This super cute Lilofant fabric is from Sweden, via the Crafty Mamas Shop (long gone though). And the beautiful red and white stripe is from Swafing in Gemany - yep is available at Crafty Mamas!

If you would like to win one of these adorable tops in sizes 1-4, please leave me a comment as to the size you need , I will draw a winner on FRI 12th! I will then make your top Sat and post out Monday!

I can send worldwide!

Did you know we now have a sister store? 

Slowly I am having a tidy up and moving all our Euro fabrics and supplies to 

Crafty Mamas Fabrics (CMF if you will!).

Check it out!

Blogtoberfest Day 7: Thinking about FUNKY pants

Have you tried the Crafty Mamas "FUNKY pants"  pattern? A very groovy kids pant/capri,/shorts pattern.
My kids love it, and all other kids seem to too!  Grab an instant pdf here....

I love it in velour knit, stripes, tie dye, plains, patchwork.....it lends itself to some fabulous combos and piecing projects! Suze from NZ made an awesome Rainbow pair here....

I have a  Rainbow pair on the cutting table for Lil, so thought I'd share a bit of inspiration with you..
Please note; none of these below are Funky Pants, but it gives you some great ideas for piecing etc. But please don't copy, that's not cool.

Blogtoberfest Day 6: Wet Saturday Sewing

Somehow I missed Day 5?? Oh  well. That's a bit like me, I guess!!

Here's a few items I whipped up today! The Coverpro gave me grief though. I finally unpacked my second overlocker, so have been using- so nice not having to rethread as often! Highly recommended- grab a spare one if you find one on sale.

Some Lil Boo Blue Perfect Short. Made in gorgeous Farbenmix knits from Crafty Mamas Fabrics !

 GINI Stripes.

Stripey FUNKY pants for Lil. !  Fabric from la Stash.( FUNKY is a CM design and available HERE).

Groovy ZEN patchy pants for me! Fabric from la Stash. (ZEN is a CM pattern, grab it HERE).

A super cute Tshirt for Lil, self drafted off another tee. Fabrics all from CM: Liandlo Granny Square knit, Stella in Ecology and Pastel Pink).

Be Still my Heart....

A sweet little project for Lil. The top is drafted from her favourite tee. The heart is a double applique, very crudely applied, just the way I like it. I think it adds an adorable shabby look to a super comfy tee.
After each wash they curl up nicely.

Tip:  Wondertape is your best friend when doing these kind of thing!
