Sew, Sew, Sew...

I thought i'd share some of the sewing projects i've been working on today!!

I've had lots of mending and alterations lately, but also a very fun special order - which has turned into something a little bigger!!

I had a customer ask me to make a Thomas the Tank Engine bucket hat for their toddler. I instantly thought "Hey, if i'm making one, why not make a few more - at the very least, Calvin will love one!!" And boy does he!!! He's hardly taken it off him!! I have made 5 so far, one for Calvin, 3 pre-orders and 1 which sold within a few hours of me posting it on my Facebook page!!

Aren't they so cute? I've been shopping for more fabric this week and got some Spiderman and Dora, along with some lovely floral fabrics for girls plus some great bright cars and trucks fabric for boys (i'd say Calvin is going to want one of them too!!!) I'm itching to start them, but i am concentrating on my embellishments this week, preparing for the sale.

If you'd like to order one of these fabulous hats, please email me - they are $20 and can be posted within Australia for $3, or picked up from Springfield (Brisbane)

If you have something else in mind that you have been thinking about getting made, let me know and i can send you a quote and some fabric options!!

Just a reminder that my embellishment sale is on this Friday - 4th May. I'll be posting it here around noon (hopefully!!!) and then over at the Scrapbooking Top 50 Crafters Markets in the evening, so check in Friday arvo to get first dibs!!!

May Embellishments Sale This Friday!!!

I've been a busy girl creating some fun embellishments for my next sale - and it's going to be this Friday (5th May). I thought i would have it coincide with the Scrapbooking Top 50 Crafters Markets!! I'll be posting it here first though - hoping to have it up around noon, so that my blog followers get 'first dibs'.

Here's a little bit of what i'm going to have on sale - very different to what i've had before!!

Do you see anything you like? Make sure you check back here on Friday then!! I'm going to be doing lots more fabric buttons and yo-yo's too - i'll be a busy bee with them all week :D

Before i head off this arvo, i just thought i'd give a shout out to the Scrap The Girls Challenge Blog - i'm a sponsor there this month!! If you'd like to score a lovely pack of my goodies for free, make sure you're playing along there this month!! The challenge this month is a quote challenge:

"Having a sister is like having a best friend you can't get rid of. 

You know whatever you do, they'll still be there." Amy Li

I like this challenge because so many of the challenge sites have mothers day challenges this month - so it's nice to focus on sisters!! Good luck with the challenge and see you Friday!!!
