In want of fabric

K has outgrown the pjs I sewed for her some time back. The first one has been passed on to B.

She still wears the second one with a longer pair of pants that I made with the same fabric.

Decided that when we go to Langkawi in Nov, both B and K will have decent looking pjs meant for them. Especially since grandma and grand aunt will be there.

I was online shopping for fabric and I saw some really cute flannel that would make nice unisex pjs but the shipping alone would cost more than the fabric! USD70 for 4 yards of fabric? :( Depressing.

So despite still nursing a week old flu, I took B shopping for fabric. At Spotlight! We really very sorely lack places to buy nice kids print flannel.



The two of the right are flannel for K's pjs and nope, definitely not unisex. I'm just hoping somehow the blue backgrounds would make it more boy skewed than it now looks for the time when B wears them. Then I also got the boy cotton fabric for B to sew some mattress covers.

The sales lady looked at me rather apologetically and said, "Erm. These no more 50% discount ok?"

There was a 50% discount!? Drats. I need to pay closer attention to the mailers from Spotlight.

No, actually what I need is to teleport myself to large fabric stores. I could stay there all day I think.

Celebrate the boy month

Yay!! It's here again. Celebrate the boy month. This is all happening at Made by Rae. Can't wait to see what new stuff people have this year and make some stuff for B.

Here is the link to go straight there.

More skirts for K

Decided that K needed more skirts. Those that would actually cover some of her thighs, instead of just her butt. I finally made two from the fabric stash that has been sitting in my fabric drawer, waiting to be transformed into something useful.

This one took me a while to do. I basically had an idea what I wanted it to look like and just went ahead to make it. Trial and error.



This one is a circular skirt, following Lorraine's skirt cheat sheet. Nice, I like but I think only some fabric can be used to make this. Those that actually are not too stiff. Anyway, K really likes this one but it's not like she can twirl it to see its effects yet.
