Bibs and a Giveaway!

You can never have too many bibs. Especially not when you have two boys! I love this (free!) pattern from Nicole Mallalieu.

I have a small basket of bibs that I have been binding one at a time as I get the chance, some with home-made bias, and some with shop bought.
That's Noah's hand there. It's really tricky to take photos with a couple of toddlers running around! It's even trickier to take pictures of toddlers - they never seem to sit still! Such a serious face!

I have been very lucky lately and have won some wonderful things reading other people's blogs, and I have decided that it is time to share the love. If you would like to win a bib like the ones in the picture, comment on this post. Tell me if you want a girl bib or a boy bib. If you post on your blog and include a link to this post, I will give you an extra entry. Followers get an extra entry too.


This giveaway has ended and the winner has been announced.
Thanks everybody for your lovely comments!

Cute Japanese Fabric!

I ordered this lovely fabric on Thursday from Retro Mummy, and it arrived here yesterday. It is even more beautiful in person than on the screen. I have already ordered some more! (Try and stop me - I am out of control!)

Corrie (Retro Mummy) is a mum of three, who specialises in Japanese fabrics, lots of fairytale type stuff and even has some cute boys stuff. Retromummy has free shipping to anywhere in Australia - how is that for service!

The fabric I bought includes Trefle (Musical Animals and the cute pink bambi fabric) by Kokka, Some Minny Muu (with cute little pictures of houses, cars, trains, birds and boats and french writing), and some Far, Far Away by Heather Ross for Kokka.

Corrie even threw in a couple of pieces of Let's Enjoy Brittain and an extra piece of the Far, Far Away! I can see some purses being made from these pieces!

Win a Saturday at Sewjourn!

How fantastic would that be? Sewjourn is a sewing retreat in Lancefield, an hour's drive from Melbourne. That makes it three hours drive for me, but if I win, I will find a way to make it work! Anyway, they are having a giveaway. If you are free the last Saturday in January you might like to enter.
