tiny happy

This is a little set I made for a friend's new grandson. I used this technique to applique a t-shirt with my 'climbing trees' printed fabric and sewed up some reversible slippers to match. Tidying up my cupboards the other day, I came across lots of old papers and have been employing them as gift-wrap. Here I used the instructions from a vintage sewing pattern (for a baggy 90's jumpsuit with shoulder pads and a cat applique, I don't think anyone will miss it.)

I do love making things for new babies, and that's lucky because there seem to be so many new little ones around here right now… maybe it's a spring thing. 

I hope you've had a good and restful weekend. Mine was great but busy and I have a gigantic pile of weeds and cut-up hands to prove it. See you tomorrow!
