Lecien Baby Quilt

I finally cut into the rest of my stash of Lecien Antique Flower in Pastel. Ahh it was so hard to use it - thankfully, I still have some leftover :)

While it was difficult to cut into, I think this fabric looks so nice on a quilt when it's literally all quilted up and puckery. It so sweet and pretty, perfect for a baby girl.

 

 I love it all folded up like this - so pretty!

 Look at those stunning colours.
Ahh, I'm in love with it. It's going to be mighty hard to let it go. But let it go I must eventually. Because it is up for sale! Yep I finally decided to open a shop :). If anyone is interested click here for my Etsy shop and here for my Facebook page :)
 
Until next time,

Ruffled Bloomers

Here are some pictures of the ruffled nappy covers/bloomers I've been making the past 2 days. I'm quite proud of them. I attempted to make one when I bought the pattern last year - and swore I'd never make one again. I found it so difficult, and it was very unprofessional looking as I didn't have an overlocker at time and my machine was a dodgy cheap one...

Anyway, I'm glad I tried to make one again. They turned out sooo cute. And very neat and professional looking. My sewing technique and attention to quality and detail has definitely improved! I think I will start selling these when I eventually get a little online shop going :)

Aren't they adorable?! I made another one today as well. The fabric is Riley Blake's Promenade and it has pale purple pompom trim across the top ruffle. I didn't get a picture, but it is probably the cutest one yet!

I love these little ruffled bloomers on a cute baby tooshie. They're so perfect for the Australian summer, where it can get hot enough for a baby to wear only a nappy all day. These covers pretty up a plain nappy bum, and also look adorable under little short dresses. I'm planning to make some short peasant style dresses to go with these as a set.

Anyway, until next time...
