Sewing day today............

Well it has been the most horriblist, wettest coldest day we have had so far this year. So a day inside was in order. Lauras netball was cancelled so we didnt need to go anywhere. So I got the sewing machine out. I had someone ask me if I could make them a feeding pillow so I made that this morning.

Three of my boys enjoying some cuddle time.
Last night I finished Daniels Jersey that I did most of in Queenstown. Daniel didnt want to model it so Laura popped it on, it is a little small for her but a little big for Daniel. I really like it.
Jessa found this scrap of material after I finished the feeding pillow and asked me if I could make something for her with it. So I turned it into a sleeping bag for her baby, complete with little pink snaps down the side for easy access. I popped it next to her while she had her nap and she saw it when she woke up. Now pink baby is tucked in next to her for the night.
I finally made a start on the pajamas for the kids. I realised that I needed to preshrink my flannette so I dug out some small pieces of microfleece that I had left over in my stash and made some snuggly soft jammies for Jessa.
Modelled by the pretty girl herself - trousers a bit long and top a bit short but they seem to fit pretty comfortably and she is very happy with them. I even attempted to applique the bear on the top to make the matching - all I can say is it is a good job you cant see it close up!!!

We'll just start calling you Martha Stewart next Lou - and I'm referring to her homemaker skills, not her embezzling ones!
