Mum and i have been having sewing days on Mondays to make things for our second bubba due in spring. Today we made some softies....
I made the taggie ball from a pattern i made myself which is just four football shaped pieces of fleece, with four ribbons or 'tags' sewn into each seem, you can find a tutorial for a similar one here. i filled both the gnome and the taggie ball with scraps of material and the bits that get chopped off from the overlocker, and the ball has a bell inside it for a bit of extra sensory stimulation.
Mum made the vintage looking bear from an old rolled oats sack. these came out in like the 60's or something apparently, as a pattern on the sacks of rolled oats, you could collect the set apparently, front and back. we only had the front but Mum used the other side of the oat sack for his back which i find quite cool...
cute, huh?
well that's everything we got done today, lot's more to do before bellybabe joins us though! here's what we look like today at 33 weeks and 3 days...
well, enough from me for now, hope this has been a good first post, night all xxx
Oh wow! That belly has really exploded since I saw you last week :-O Looking absolutely ace, chicky! Lemiwinks started giving me big excited kicks when I saw that belly :D
ReplyDeleteLove all the softies. What a beautiful day it must've been with your mama.
Yay, you're blogging!!!
ReplyDeleteVery special moments to share with your muma.
Did she keep that rolled oats bag all this time or find it somewhere? My mum has found a doll material sew-up thing, meant for me as a youngin, she is saving it for my future daughter!
Oh very cute, if you like softies you should look at the book "sock and glove," its along similar lines to softies but it uses all those odd socks and gloves that are lying about the house. So instead of throwing them out, you can recycle them into gorgeous little toys. They do such a cute elephant :)
