We have been busy making new products for the Fife Baby & Toddler Show this week so here's a look at some of the new bibs were taking to the show :)  Penguin bib - Cute boat design - Neutral patchwork bib, for those who don't know if they are having a boy/girl It wasn't me/It was him bandanas, think these could turn out to be a new favourite
Lady bug bandana, love, love, this, if itdoesn't sell at the show I can see it making its way into Emmie's stash Little hedgehog bandana, would be great as a matching set with our hedgehog bib :) Its Emmie's first birthday coming up and as we also have my best friend’s wedding the same weekend I think something a bit special for Emmie to wear at both is called for. I had looked in the shops for a really pretty wee dress, I wanted something that wouldn't scream with my purple bridesmaids dress but not match it either, but no such luck :( So if I cant buy it then I figured I might as well make her something. Now I have never made a dress before, Lorna has some grand plans for me to make myself a bridesmaids dress to wear at her wedding in October, hopefully there will be a successful post to follow on this :), so this should at least be a bit of practice and on a much smaller scale.
Im not a huge one for patterns on anything, I prefer to make things up from scratch by myself but I had found this really cute free pattern for the little geranium dress from made by rea. Its a newborn dress and Emmie is nearly 1 so I got out some of her little dresses and using these and the little geranium pattern I created a pattern that would fit her now. I also wanted it to be pretty full in the skirt so am going to add in a lining to the skirt and an extra layer of ruched fabric to the bottom of the lining. I will leave this hanging longer than the main fabric to give a nice contrast strip at the bottom. I’m also going to pop in a pink sash and bow at the waist, should be really pretty when it’s done. Pattern done it was time to cut it out, I get really nervous cutting lovely fabrics just incase I haven’t quite done my calculations right so I started with the lining just to be sure. It went together really nicely and all was going fine until it came to putting the lining and the main dress together. Apparantly I hadn’t worked this bit out exactly right and my extra ruched layer at the bottom of the lining ended up being the wrong way round L A lot of unpicking and re pinning and stitching later and Emmie’s little dress was finished and looking really lovely. Im very proud of myself for making it for her and it will definitely be one that is treasured long after she has grown out of it.  The finished dress along with a very cute nappy that matches just perfectly :) And here it is in action, Emmie and I at my best friends wedding, looks just right with my bridesmaids dress.   We are going to be at the West Fife baby and toddler show next Sunday the 9th of June at the Carnegie conference centre in Dunfermline.
This will be our first baby show and we are really excited about it. Please pop by and say hello if you are in the area, there will be lots of fun family activities as well as stalls and we are already planning some new designs for the day so you could grab something new before anyone else has it :) |
