Two hats and a shirt

What's this? A matching hat?

Yes. It's true, it's maybe a bit cray cray, but what am I going to do with this leftover fabric otherwise. I'm almost 50, and maybe starting to think that I don't need to save fabric anymore, but I need to use it, so that I can keep  buying more!

Another woven badge/sticker on the front, and voila!

Here's another hat I made for the kiddo (Tula Pink fabric), and he's also wearing a Halloween shirt I made with glow in the dark print from Spotlight.

This kid doesn't have school uniform. So he can wear whatever he wants. Now that I've put the pretty plastic snaps on his shirts, this is what he wants to wear. 

And he has a number of hats. I don't think Toy Story is his favourite, but that's not matter. There has to be one for a kid not to worry about getting muddy!

 

Goodbye Tula hat

 I'm a crafty quilter whose main love language is to make things as gifts. 

Here is the evidence that I'm also a Mum to a 6yo boy. It appears that he left his gorgeous hat (made from Tula Pink fabric) outside in the playground. 

There's a big chunk of hat missing, like it's been mown over, but the real reason they found his hat was because a bush Turkey had made a nest in it.

Crikey! How Australian can you get?

I'm not in the mood to make him a new hat!!!

I'm off to stitch something that I'd like!

Rainbow bucket hat

I'm super excited to share this bright, fun hat for my 5yo. The hat I made for the commencement of prep is sometimes missing in the schoolyard, buried in the sandpit, or completely filthy.

It was fitting to make him another hat that is a bit more dirt resistant (only because it's white), and also because he really needed a spare. If I can't find his hat in the yard because it's too hot in the afternoon, he can't play in the morning.

I secretly love both these fabrics. I wonder which way he will choose to wear it!

***edit*** He loves both sides, originally he loved the stripey rainbow side more, but his teachers at school love the bright indigenous print so much, they hinted at me making them for all of them... but I don't really have the time or inclination to make a mass of hats for other people. (Bring on more personal sewing I say!!)

 

The 5 year old wearing the sheep hat

My 5 year old boy had his first day of school. Wearing a hat made by me (red sheep on the outside today, superheroes on the inside).

My heart is bursting, he's growing so fast.

I also know this means more time to sew. So watch this space!

 

Mum life

There are so many details in this one, but I can't deny that I love stitching the feathers especially and the leaves. They just flow and glow. I think I've made about 5 of these, and will order more fabric.

This little cat with the moon and butterflies is a love. I might have put it here sideways. You choose.

I absolutely loved stitching this Ursula Sea Witch. She really glows. What a stuning artwork, and now that she's stitched, she really has dimension.

Sewing group day and I am making a bucket hat along with some of the other ladies.

Super heroes and red sheep. This should be right for 5yo for school next year. He doesn't have a uniform, so he gets to express himself any way he likes.

I've chosen some sea sort of colours as well, maybe for him, maybe for me.

I'm using these sewing Tula Pink fabrics for my hat.

Of course mine isn't finished yet. Lol.

Mum life!
