So I spent last weekend making face masks - I know everyone is making them right now. I spent a lot of time researching and tested out a few different styles, designs and patterns - why try and come up with one on my own when there are so many out there. In the end,… Continue reading Face masks
As you will probably have realised, I seem to make a lot of baby gifts. I did a whole London/UK themed set for a little man in Canada. I bought the onesies from Asda, jazzed them up using HTV from Crafty Cutter and my Cricut. The designed came from SVG files I bought on Etsy.… Continue reading Embellished baby onesies
My most popular Christmas present I made in 2019 (and I seemed to make a lot of these) are bowl cozies. You no longer need to burn your hands getting hot bowls out of the microwave! You will need 100% cotton to make these safe for use in the microwave. Cut the outside and inside… Continue reading Bowl cozy
One of my go to new baby gifts is a baby blanket that fits a crib. Sometimes I use the quilt panels and other times, I just use cotton fabric that I like. Either way, they are all the same size 112 x 92 cm (or 44 x 36 inches). I always make them lightweight… Continue reading Baby blankets
Another style of bib I often make is using pre-made bibs and attaching a cut out using Heat n’ Bond. You could of course, make your own for this as well. Find your design in the Cricut Design Space software (I have the subscription), get them ready to cut. Pop your Heat n’ Bond on… Continue reading Heat n’ Bond Bibs
Supplies needed: front and back fabric, thread, scissors, snaps & snap applicator (can use other fasteners as well).

One of the more popular requests (yes my friends actually make requests… Continue reading Bandana bibs
For any little mermaid in training, a personalised towel makes a wonderful gift. For this project I used cotton fabric that I had in my bag of scraps (my goodness that is a large bag that just seems to keep growing). Iron Heat n' Bond onto the wrong side/reverse side of the fabric. I always… Continue reading Customised swim towel
Everyone gets a little hangry when they are desperate for food...and me, even more so when I am waiting for my food to cook. Although, this apron wasn’t for me, it was part of a baking gift set I put together for my niece . A great and simple gift to make! I bought the… Continue reading Hangry apron
Taggies are a great gift for babies to play with but also a great way to use up fabric. They can be any shape or size, some people make them in a pillow type way, or shaped like an animal. But as basic square or rectangle you can sew in such a quick amount of… Continue reading Taggies
I love a lightweight infinity scarf, so cosy and warm for a spring or autumn day, and comfortable to wear inside as well. And I found this fantastic fabric when visiting Canada in September at Fabricland in their clearance section...so as usual I buy 2m! I have plans for the rest of it as well,… Continue reading Adult infinity scarf
