Hats & What Knot

Sewing projects are of the super quick variety around here at the moment which translates to super easy. This one hits the mark and is also super cute! Its a baby knot hat - check it out....

 Knottin' but cute!

There are a few templates floating around out there - single knot, double knot - take your pick. This is a double knot number which ties up to give the little "rabbit ear" appearance. Love!

And these can be whipped up using the smallest amount of fabric for teeny little heads - perfect for reusing old t-shirts destined for the charity bin!

Itty Bitty Baby Pants

I know I know, its been AGES since I got my butt into gear and actually posted something on here. The good news is I am now officially finished work (well, my paid job anyway!) in anticipation of the arrival of bub number 2, so with any luck I can get my hands into loads more projects and be a lot more regular with my posts. Here's hoping.

As you can imagine I am a little obsessed with all things teeny tiny at the moment and have whipped up these little baby pants which are a total copy cat of a cute Bonds number.
 

 I am all for comfort when it comes to newborn clothes & these are just the tonic.

Three pairs down, many more to go! I am trying with all my might to keep them as unisex as possible but just couldn't resist using this gorgeous leopard/pink combo in case we have a girl this time.  Hey, even if its a boy I might just throw them on for a few minutes to see how they look! (Ahem, just don't let hubby in on that one)

Oh and I should mention that these are all made from old shirts that I don't wear anymore with a little ribbing for the cuffs. So when cleaning out your cupboards think before you throw - you may just have the perfect use for those old clothes!

Baby Fever! Bibs & Burp Cloths....

Anyone else noticed how many baby bumps seem to be out there at the moment?

One of those little bundles recently greeted the world and I am so excited for my gorgeous friend JM and family who welcomed a precious baby girl just six days ago.

A few weeks back I decided to have a go at a handmade gift for bubs arrival. I found several tutorials on handmade bips and burp cloths and thought these were just delicious so thats what I went with. (And all mummies know you can never have too many of these lying around!)

I picked up a pair of flannelette baby sheets for the front, and used super soft minky for the backing. Here's how they turned out...

Mind the blurry pics here...still in desperate need of photography skills!



...And modeled here by a cheeky monkey


These are super easy and I plan to churn out loads of them once I finish up work in anticipation on my own bubs' arrival - only 11 weeks to go to meet him/her!
