Back in January I made my friend some clothes for her newborn twins. At the time I wanted something very practical so made some jersey co-ordinates. Now they’re a little bigger I wanted to make some fun little rompers in a design that I’ve been working on. Continue reading →

Converted the #harrietbra into a partial band style using a mint lace set and navy findings set kindly send to me by @studiocostura and added a vintage button from my late grandmothers (extensive collection) paired with some #gracepanties made with leftover lace and some fortuitously well matched silk scraps. @clothhabit @ohhhlulu #bloggercollaboration #sewinglingerie #diylingerie #makeyourownfancypants

Earlier this year I challenged myself to tackle knitting (as unlike crochet I’ve never really got to grips with it) so this seems like a good project to end the year with. A #travelingcablehat from a free pattern at @purlsoho with wool from @woolwarehouse with a pompon made by the smallest child as a gift for my mums birthday. I had to unknit and reknit it many times (partly because following this pattern while binge watching wanted wasn’t a good mix) but feel quite pleased that while I definitely haven’t conquered knitting I’m on my way to conquering my fear of it! #knittersofinstagram #purlsohopattern #handmadegifts

And for the older one a dressing gown and pyjamas inspired by the new doctor’s outfit. Dressing gown self drafted in fabrics and notions from @simplyfabricsbrixton T-shirt with stencilled fabric paint the #rowantee by @titchythreads in #noshorganics fabric and trousers adapted for knit from my #thegraphitetrousers pattern using French terry from @bobbins_and_buttons #doctorwhocosplay #doctorwhocostume

‘I’d like a dressing gown with footballs on it’. Looks like I’ll be popular on Christmas morning 😉. Pink French terry from @bobbins_and_buttons printed with my @bobbin.hood kit and lined with black and white jersey from @sewcraftyshop Self-drafted pattern with some satisfying mitred corners (seeprevious post) #sewingforkids #wearebobbinhood

Sneak peek of a commissioned Christmas gift for the littlest one... Can you tell what her favourite hobby is these days?

We were inspired by the #wearebobbinhood competition (ends tonight!) to design some Christmas jumpers. I tried to make mine festive but with more longevity than just Christmas but the girls thought Christmas jumper should mean Christmas jumper...
