Today we had a big box arrived filled with cuteness.

Ooshka Babushka Pattern Kits and Sweetie Petites.

These designs are from The Red Thread.

Make your own babushka dolls. Ooshka pattern kits are a fun and easy sewing project. They contain a sewing pattern and instructions and a face panel printed on linen/cotton blend fabric.

You get to choose your own fabrics for your Ooshkas – they aren’t included in the pattern kit – that’s part of the fun! So is embellishing your babushka dolls with applique, pom poms, ribbons and trim.

You can also choose to make your Ooshka with black hair and blue or brown eyes, blonde hair and blue eyes, or she can be a redhead with green/aqua eyes. The pattern kit comes with the face panel of your choice. Additional printed face panels are also available for purchase.

There are also patterns included to make scarves for your Ooshkas and appliqued felt and fabric faces.

The we have the adorable Sweetie Petites.

Meet Mimi, Molly, Daisy & Ginger… and Freddie – the Sweetie Petites.

Sweetie Petites doll kits contain all you need to make a Sweetie and their little friend: printed fabric panels, stuffing, ribbon loops and sewing instructions. Each one has her name printed on the back
and a little note for their new owner.

The Sweeties can be sewn by hand or machine and are an ideal project for a beginner, or for an adult to make with a child.

The design of these little cute little dolls has been influenced by vintage and Japanese kawaii styles. They appeal to all ages, from toddlers to pre-teens and even adults who like to collect fun and quirky things.

We would like to welcome Dee Dee and Clucky,
two patterns from Melly & Me of course.

Kellie, from Don’t Look Now, was at our shop last weekend teaching her raw edge applique technique. She always brings lots of her quilts to look at and accidentally left behind her Worry Dolls quilt. This quilt is just stunning and will be with us until she comes back on Saturday the 21st of August.

Feel free to come and visit on that saturday to have a good look at Kellie’s quilts.  Such stunning work it needs to be seen to be believed!

I am a little proud of this quilt – my new fav.

Bloom is made using raw edge applique – much quicker the the old needle turn!

Can’t take credit for this photo – isn’t it beautiful.

It was taken by my very talented friend Jade from Mojo Photography.

My Bloom quilt was recently used in a display home photo shoot, and
that spunky cat is called Smokey. He is a dead ringer for my recently
departed Mr Pringle, I think he might have to be stolen.

I just can’t sleep at the moment – might have something to do with all the sport on a ridiculous times, but hey, I now have bunting.

We also have a sample of the Little Splashes Rain Coat pattern
designed by Amy Butler. Mum made it and said the laminated fabric was lovely to sew with.

Now which niece will get it…..

and finally I thought I might chuck on some pics
of our front window full of animals.

I can’t work it out – where is all my time going…. I need more!

I finally finished the 3 boyz quilts and got them in the post today. I made some cards out of some scraps of fabrics hanging around.

I though they looked pretty cute.

we have also have some more new arrivals,
Jodie Carlton’s latest patterns.

She is a very clever girl.

Today three of the new Amy Butler laminated fabrics arrived, very exciting.

I have already sent mum home with fabric and the pattern
to make the Little Splashes Rain Coat.

Lots of new fabrics from Riley Blake Fabrics.

New Pattern, Sprout,  from Make It Perfect.

What a nice idea – a bag made from fat quarters – who doesn’t have lots of them lying around.

The pattern is called the Fat Quarter’s Bag and it is
another lovely creation from Melly and Me.

This sample was made by Dale – my super sample sewer!

We have also had two new Amy Butler Patterns arrive.

Rainy Days

Little  Splashes

These are made out of a new laminated fabric that you can see here
on Amy’s website. I have ordered these fabrics and hope they
come soon!!!!

When this pattern came in recently I just had to make him.
What a sweet little guy.

“I come in Peace” is a new pattern from Melly and Me.

While I was in the sewing mood I decided to make an
“Out and About Laptop Bag” also designed by Melly and Me.

This was a really easy pattern, and very fast to make.
The pattern also shows how to make it bigger if
your laptop is a bit larger.
