Toddler Pinafore
The acquisition of some vintage style patterns has encouraged me to be creative with my hand printed fabrics. The beauty of toddler and baby patterns is that they use up less fabric and when you produce odd runs of fabric as I do it makes it easier to find a use for them (other than pouches)
Another Butterick pattern 248. This pattern had a total of three pieces. I only had bright pink bias binding and couldn't be bother making my own - it gives a nice bright pop of colour anyway. I like the fact that all the edges are neatly sewn beneath the bias - no zigzagging to neaten edges
Pretty good effort after night duty and 3 hours sleep.

Geranium leaf Stampe - Baby Romper - Ruffle Butt!
I love a frilly butt on a baby!
Today at craft on the trading table were some very sweet baby patterns
-all in empirical measurements
My couple of meters of hand stamping have now been put to good use and I think I have maximised the usage of the double stamping to best effect
I had only just enough material and had to utilize extra fabric for the ruffles
Love it..but baby stuff is so cute!
Just need to get some rikrak to cover the zigzag stitching across the ruffles
Got to go to night duty now ..boohoo.
