Christmas pyjamas

A first in our little family but I made Christmas pyjamas for the kids so of course I had to make 3 pairs! I used once again the fab 11th gear hour pattern by New Horizon design (same pattern for all 3 of the joggers and long sleeves T).

I had eyed this lovely Christmas cotton jersey fabric at my local shop and last time I popped in for just one little thing, I came out with 5 meters of fabric and 1 meter of black ribbing!

I had cut my son's pyjama a few weeks back and he was very impressed when I managed to sew up the joggers in about one hour or so while he was watching TV one Saturday night. I did all the sewing but the ribbing on my overlocker. For some reasons, my overlocker hates the ribbing! He tried it on straight away and immediately kept it!
A little business trip prevented me to work on the other pieces for a few days but once all the pieces were cut it all came together quite quickly. I first finished the 3 pair of joggers

And then the 3 long sleeves T-shirts...

And finally just before last weekend they were all sleeping in their new Christmas pyjamas!
I have under 1 meter of fabric left and very little ribbing. And my kids love their new pyjamas. Now because they're all 1 size apart I thought they'd need a way to differentiate them. One of my child doesn't like labels against her skin because they're usually a little stiff. So I used some lovely bits of the selvage which is soft jersey as well to make labels!

3 OPAMs for December and also 3 off my Q4 FAL.
Such a happy finish in many ways! Happy that the kids love their handmade soft and snuggly PJ. happy that the fabric didn't make it to my stash! And happy to support my local shop! I just wish I had more fabric/time to also made pj for hubby and I!

September in the Hexagon!

Welcome to my stop on the Hexie Blog Hop Be a Hexie Queen ! I am a hexie lover and always have an emergency supply of hexies in my bag for when I am on-the-go (which is actually very often) and when I first signed up for the blog hop, I thought I would show you a EPP (English Paper Piecing) hexie project. That was until I remembered a long forgotten UFO that was laying in a plastic bag in my cupboard. I thought it would be the perfect occasion to get the dist and cobwebs out (no it wasn't that bad really) and give it a new lease of life! It all started with a few scrap strips and ended with a few more strips! I ordered and received a scrap bag of Moda fabric a few years back and I received a pack of off-cuts of Migration by Holly Taylor. I wasn't sure what to do with it until I saw this Hexagon quilt-along on Julie of Jaybird Quilts ' blog that I know I wanted to join in, it was all about hexagons! And although there were machine-pieced, there was no horrible Y

Blog hop and a giveaway

Welcome to my blog if you are new here and found me from the Quilting Gallery website and welcome back if you are a regular reader. I have written a blog for over 2 years now but started quilting about 10 years ago, mainly self-taught. I love fabric and my stash is probably too big for my needs, but can a girl really have TOO MUCH fabric? I don't think so! Michele at the Quilting Gallery is organising a blog hop for the 4th anniversary of her site . If you don't know the quilting gallery yet, you need to hop over there and have a look around, there is plenty to browse at. Every week, there is a themed-contest. Everyone can enter their quilts and everyone can vote on the entries. Well worth having a look at, you can even enter your quilts if they fit the theme. I have entered a few times in the past, but never won! From September until December, 36 designers shared a Christmas block for free in the " Celebrate Christmas Quilt-along ", you can still collect the pat

Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along

Image
  Yes I know, another new project... but (!) this one is all about using my scraps, what's not to love. And the instructions come in German for the  Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along .  The first 3 blocks are made of rectangles and I used only scraps to make those (I can't really say I have made a dent in my scrap basket either actually...) I picked green as the focus colour for the blocks since this is the January colour for the Rainbow Scraps Challenge organised by Angela I joined the challenge years ago but hadn't participated in recent times. Of course it would be tempting to start yet another project but I think using my scraps for this quilt along in the set colour of the month is a safer plan.
