I haven't blogged for such a long time because I haven't sewn for such a long time. In fact the sewing machine and all accessories were put away for a good two months. Why? Nausea, headaches, tiredness and all else that goes along with pregnancy. I am still coming out of it, but think I see a light at the end of the tunnel now. I managed to pull out my machine to make Christmas jammies for the kids. I think I only did it because I bought the fabric so long ago. And I didn't even make full pajamas, just the pants, which I paired with white t-shirts for all. I did make pillowcases with their names stitched on the corners though. The girls fabric is
Riley Blake. Also the pillow cases are Riley Blake. Jack's pants are made from a skiing monkey flannel from
Broadbents. I didn't pay attention, though it may be a Michael Miller. I just used other pajama bottoms for the patterns.
I didn't take their pics in the pj's until Christmas morning, so it's a bunch of sleepy kids. I think my kids are the only ones that sleep in a bit on Christmas morning. Sophie went to awake Bella and Bella told her she just wanted to sleep a little longer. Funny!
Anyway, I have great hopes of my sewing picking up again over the next few months. I have some projects I want to start-namely a
Bliss quilt, and some baby stuff to make. I did notice this is my 100th post! Yay! More projects to come in the new year!
