#52 Sew Liberated

For a while now I've been a follower of Meg McElwee's blog Sew Liberated, I check in every now & then to dream of having talent such as hers & resolve to buy one of her books & give it a go! I do need to stop waiting for my local fabric store to get in more copies & just order it via her website.

This is the pattern that took me to Sew Liberated in the beginning & made me an instant fan, the sweet pea pilot cap modeled by her very cute first-born Finn.

 

Since then I've fallen in love with the huck finn hat...

 

this oh so cute apron...

 

this very comfy looking mei tai baby carrier...

 

This embroidered placemat & these fabric number cards. Sweet much?

 

Those things & a billion others. Plus, I'm just in awe of her really. Once you've seen her blog you'll understand why!

Meg's original book of 20 sewing projects is called Sew Liberated & signed copies from her website cost $21.95. Now I'm no maths genius, but I'm fairly certain that means that you would be paying just over $1 per marvelous pattern?

The second book Growing Up Sew Liberated is due out on June 14th & costs a whole $1 more than the first... That's enough maths for me for one day though.

 

I want that teepee....

#10 Who's for Sushi?

Master C's new bath toys - A school of brightly coloured fish. Quite the hit!

For those who don't recognize these little fellas...

One of Master C's most favourite foods is Sushi, which is usually sold accompanied by little fish shaped containers full of soy sauce...

It was mighty hard work, but here's what we did :

Step 1: Enjoyed our delicious Sushi :)

Step 2: Washed the remaining soy sauce out.

Step 3: Filled them with diluted food colouring.

Hey presto all done!

I recommend diluting the food dye so that if little ones do manage to get the lids off, it won't stain their skin or the tub.

At the rate Master C goes through Sushi though, very soon there may not be any room left for him in the bath...
