This time we’re making burp cloths. The simple construction means these take next to no time to whip up, so if you’ve forgotten to get something for a baby shower, because they’re now a thing in the UK apparently, or you just want to gift something to a new mum but don’t have much time,…
And so the baby tutorial videos continue. This time we’re making a very simple classic style bib. The bandana one was so cute, and this is more or less made in the same way. So grab a drink and sit back and give it a watch. Here’s the pattern. You’ll need to tape the two…
Following on from the Bitty Baby Booties – and using the same fabric range, check out the latest youtube video – where you can sew along and make your own bandanna style baby bib! There will be another video in the next week or so for a Classic style bib, and, all being well… a…
We have a new addition to our extended family due in November, a little girl! So exciting! Congratulations to Liam and Liz! I tend to make quilts whenever a new baby is born, and I do plan to do this too, but wanted to make some other little bits and pieces. These booties being the…

Another Quilt Block this week. This time a lovely intertwined design. You’ll need three different fabrics for this one, the first in the series where we need more than two so I went for a simple cream from the same range. No cat intermissions! Sooty is fast asleep, and Heidi is watching from the sidelines!…
Today’s block is called Timeless Triangles, which gets it’s name from the 4 hour glass looking sections. There is an additional cat intermission at 10:54 that I didn’t catch in the edit! I’ve decided that instead of getting annoyed when they interupt, I’m going to start logging it! Let’s see who wins for most interuptions…
This week we’re making wristlets. There are two options for making these, a one fabric option, and a two fabric option. For the one fabric option you’ll need a piece of fabric measuring 3.5 x 12 inches, and for the two fabric option you’ll need two pieces of fabric measuring 2 x 12 inches each….
I made a mug rug video just before Christmas last year and asked viewers their preferred method of finishing them (I pinked the edges of those). There were a few comments and suggestions, one of which was to use self binding, so… that’s what this video covers! Thanks to @thelmalane9351, @lschimes6844 @merryguerrero1771 and special thanks…
I made a pile of these lovely toys three years ago and gave them all away as gifts (the same year I made cat kickers, all of which were gratefully received by their respective cats/pooches). Anyway! At that point, we weren’t creating youtube videos — now we are! Some people prefer to watch and learn,…
