bag & cat

I've had a flurry of cutting, stitching & finishing projects this week. I took various photos but the house is so dark that they were awful and as it hasn't stopped raining today so no chance of natural daylight. 

 

I made this bag from a burda pattern using some of my Jane Churchill florals that I purchased from my favourite fent shop last week. It was quick and easy to make, really comfy to wear so I can highly recommend it esp for beginners. The only adjustment I made was to lengthen the strap a little so it fitted over my shoulder so I will be able to wear it when I'm carrying Lily Rose without it slipping from my shoulder.

I have also finished 2 mai tai baby carriers, a dusty pink union jack one for me and a camo one for dad as he wasn't too keen on the floral look....I have been looking at loads of styles/patterns/instructions on the web and decided to draught my own pattern and it has turned out really well. Although we have been trying them on with teddies as a baby model so can't comment on how comfy they are but I will post some pics when Lily Rose arrives.

Other finished projects are

3 pairs jim jam trousers for boys

finished floral quilt/changing mat

cath k floral print nappy bag

blind for nursery (which still isn't finished!!)

curtains for nursery

all of which I will post pics for on a later date

and last but not least a picture of my ridiculous cat 'william' who has an amazing way of getting himself in the most ridiculous positions and laying like it for hours, not moving until he is well and truely shifted!
