in My Knitting
It’s been really, really cold here in Sydney, like freezing cold, so I decided that I’m going to knit both my kids a hat each. You can probably guess that this scarf hat is going to be for my daughter. Actually, she chose the pattern and the wool colours, I wanted it to be pink read further...

A pinch and a punch for the first day of the month. Do people still do this? Anyway, I did say last Friday that I had to sew up a quick birthday gift by Sunday, well, this is it – a Melly & me Sunshine Bag. I did finish it Sunday night but it read further...

My blog that is. This is what it used to look like until today. I had intended to do a bit of sewing (need to make a birthday gift by Sunday), but my baby boy (only 3.5 months old) was so sick and miserable that he could only sleep when I held him. So with read further...

Nope, that’s not her. It’s actually this – a sewing pattern by Patty Young from modkid. I do love all things Japanese and this was the first modkid pattern I purchased. I’ve since collected a few more patterns from modkid but haven’t had the chance to sew them up yet. The modkid Kyoko pattern was read further...

My 3.5 year old daughter is into dress ups and make believe at the moment and ask any little girl what they would like to dress up as – it’ll most likely be a princess. So what does a princess need? A tiara? Check. A pink fluffy tutu skirt? Ahhh…..this is the post where I read further...

in Giveaways
Well, do you remember this post? Yes, it arrived. The lovely Jo from Bellsjo generously sent me some fabric from her stash as well as some gorgeous postcards which needs to be framed I think. Beautiful, eh? Not sure what I’ll be doing with them yet, but I’ve been seeing mini hexagons (check out how read further...
Bag making books

in Books
When I first started sewing a couple of years ago, for some reason or another, I found myself drawn to sewing bags for both children and adults. Actually, the first bag I made was a kids messenger bag from this tutorial. I’d even added a pocket for my daughter’s coloured pencils and was so proud read further...
