The Pressure {Sewing}

Wednesday 21 November 2012

You know that it is going to be your turn soon when two of your antenatal class friends have given birth and you are supposed to be the fourth one... A bit more than a week to go... although we think the little one is just chilling and will be late. Anyway we are nearly there, but not yet. A couple of WIPs on the go - and we are nearly there as well. 

The Moses basket roundabout/bumper binding needs to be finished. I hand quilted it as I wanted a vintage feel.  I may add a blue hand stitch as well - but binding first! 

And I could not resist the little bunny - so cute!
And I making a hooded towel following the  Purlbee's tutorial. I love the Night Owl Carnival fabric from Robert Kaufman. It is the first time I have been working with terry cloth, and I personally found it quite tricky to cut.  Hopefully it will be better to sew together!


I am quite excited to see the finish towel though, will look great on the vintage concertina hanger!

  8. Any day now, I am sure. It's great that you are still keeping busy and feeling energetic enough to tackle these projects. The bumber looks gorgeous and the bunny is to die for. I am dying to see how the towel will look.
