Move over, mama

This past week the boys took over my craft space for a little impromtu sewing session. The midget was determined he wanted to sew something, and we decided that a little camera case each would be easy and useful.

With minimal help the boys chose their fabric, designed and then ran these pouches up in no time. The result of which is a desire to make more things, a request to borrow the machine whenever they want, a plan to sew a toy cat and an idea to make things for other people.

As usual I am impressed by them. They never fail to make me proud... But having my machine merely on loan from the boys? Not so sure....

Wall Pockets

Last week I finally got around to making something that had been on my To Do list for over a YEAR. I know. Bad mama.

I don't know why these took so long to get around to doing - they were quick enough to whip up - and some simple wall pockets for my babes were hot off the machine in less than half an hour.













A simple enough make using upholstery/light canvas weight fabric for the 'body' and tartan for the pockets sewn over a coat hanger, so the pockets can be hung wherever they are needed for my boys to have all their stuff to hand when they are in bed - books, transformers, torches, compass - you know, important stuff when you're a boy dreaming about having an adventure...
