Sherbet Bag and PJ's

I made my very first bag, the Melly & Me Sherbet Bag It was not as hard as I was expecting it to be, and even though it's far from perfect, I am really happy with it. It has a magnetic clasp closure, and is fully lined (though I forgot to photograph the inside!)

Another pair of PJ's for Gulli, and she has a matching pillowcase for her cot size pillow made out of the same flannelette material.  

Although they are not photographed yet, I have also made another pair of trackpants for Lol Lol. The fit of them is so much nicer than bought pants over his cloth nappy. 

Dave's parents are in town at the moment, and yesterday we all went down to Bredbo for lunch at the pancake cafe. Gulli loved her Banana and Chocolate pancake followed by a play on the playground. She may be just a tiny two year old, but she has no fear, climbing the largest ladders to go down huge slides! Lol Lol even had a turn on the baby swing which he seemed to really enjoy. 

Another gorgeous model!

Kimono PJ's

Gulli's firsts pair of Oliver & S Bedtime Story Pajamas are completed. I love this pattern, and the PJs seem so snuggly and warm for winter, and the Kimono style means I don't have to attempt a collar yet!

The hearts fabric is flannelette, and the stripy trim is a quilters cotton. After reading my sewing machines book, I've discovered an overlock stitch, so have used that to finish off the seams.  

I have fabric to make one more pair for Gulli, and two pairs for Lol Lol. Hopefully they will be quicker to make now that I won't need to read every instruction five times to work out exactly what to do!

 

Yesterday was Mothers Day and we went for a drive out to Captains Flat. The drive was lovely and scenic, very green hills and lots of gum trees. Gulli had a ball playing on the slide and flying fox (with daddy's help) and running through all the Autumn leaves.
