Little bee, lots of buzz

While looking for patterns for my toddler I came across this free pinafore pattern on the Smashed Peas and Carrots blog and I couldn't resist making one.

The pattern is super easy to follow and I found it took no time at all to sew. For a bit of fun, I used fabric paint to make bees wings on each of the back panels, and found some cute bee buttons that I attached to the front.  I had some vintage floral fabric that I used lined the inside with.  I'm really happy with the result and my 2 year old loves it and proclaims she is a bee when wearing it!  :)

Stegosaurus 'taggie' doll

This adorable toy was made using a free pattern from Bubbles and Bobbins blog.  I made a slight alteration in the method, by adding a 5 mm seam around the entire template before cutting it out and it still seemed to work perfectly.  I made several of these as gifts and they were really quick to make and turned out wonderfully.  The mums and babies who they were gifted to, loved them!

Fingerstache! .... because who doesn't want one?!?!

The best moustache to keep in your pocket for any unforeseen moment when a moustache is required (like going undercover!).

This is the Fingerstache knitting pattern.  I found it very quick and easy (and a lot of fun).
