Welcome to my Blog

I am a grandmother to 4 little girls. I blog about the things I make for them, review patterns, provide tutorials on how I've dealt with techniques or problems, which I hope may help others, and give links to the (mostly) free patterns I use. Every so often, I do a 'Best of..' post listing the best free patterns I've found under specific headings - babies, girls, boys etc. Enjoy the Blog!

Holiday Sewing

Before our family holiday, I had a mad few weeks of sewing for the holiday. First there were all the 'quiet books' to entertain the little ones while travelling. Then there were the beach cover-ups and a hooded towel for the littlest one. And lots of shorts and skirts. You could say the sewing machine was on fire. For once, because we were all on holiday together, I did actually get a few photos of the clothes being worn - although, these kids move so fast, it's hard to get shots in focus, and a lot of them are back views as they run around. I'm not complaining,  l love to see the things I've made being worn.

Here are a few examples - a small fraction of the total. Three pairs of shorts, and one skirt:






(I told you I get mainly back views!)
