just wondering what awesome, cute, inspiring things you are all making at the moment!

i just made a small pillow for my pregnant friend, for the small of her back. and now her friend wants one. but, not sure what to make next! still very much a beginner!

Funny you should post this, I was just thinking this morning that I am hanging to get my machines out! Now that the weather is getting colder I think I will make DD a jacket - I have the Make it Perfect Uptown Girl jacket pattern, just need to find the perfect fabric!

I'm a beginner here too but really loving having a play.... I've recently made some Softies as gifts and i've got a gorgeous cord material and i want to get to spotlight to pick up a patter for it. Waiting for DH to come home...

I don't have my own machine but my mum is staying with me at the moment so i'm able to use her supplies, books, materials & machine

Aha! just the inspiration I need.
Tan let us know how you find that pattern. Now they have upsized it for bigger girls (cos my 4yo needs a size7 for arm and body length) I want to make one for her with a fleece on one side.

oops me. I'm going to pull apart two bathrobes the ILs gave DH and I a couple of years ago and make some coverups for the kids at swimming lessons.

I'm making the boys some flannelette pj's for winter and some shorts. Also making some curtains with blockout lining, not quite so exciting but still fun! When that's all done I'll have to think about my next project. I wish I had an overlocker though, makes the finish look much better.

some little ratbag screwed up all the setting on my OLer and then God bless him, moved the stickers, so I have no idea what should be where

must get around to having it serviced.

I'm more of a cross stitch person - love sewing and have got right into patchwork in the past but have never had my own machine - always had to borrow mums - until she wants it back :-( lol

So cross stitch it is! I actually just ordered one off eBay yesterday that DD picked out for her wall. It's a woman reading in an English garden - which I got because I preferred it so much over the kind I thought she was going to pick lol

I am REALLY looking forward to it arriving!!!!

At the moment, I'm cutting fabric for some baby blankets I'm making for some friends. Next on the list is some winter PJ's for the kids.

**corolla_chick** · March 27th, 2011, 03:46 PM

**~Kim~** · March 27th, 2011, 03:58 PM

Anyone else have the Make it Perfect Book? It's seriously beautiful.

I've been making ruffled nappy covers for little girls to sell at the markets in 2 weeks! I just bought my first sewing machine and I am loving it!!!
I am going to start on some smock style dresses and maybe a little girls bolero too now it's getting a bit cold...

**peanutter** · March 27th, 2011, 06:58 PM

I've been working on some paintings, some writing (a novel and a series of short stories) and a BABY.

ETA: just saw this was in the "Quilting, Needlework & Sewing" sub forum ... whoops!

I made a patchwork quilt one time, but it didn't really work out ... my sewing ability is limited to (bad) hemming.

*sneaks out*

**MrsBexie** · March 27th, 2011, 07:22 PM

hahaha peanutter!!

**jackrose** · March 27th, 2011, 07:27 PM

I just made a night dress for DD1, next on the list is a pair of flannelette pjs for winter... if I can get my machine out from under the pile of *stuff* sitting on in.

I just tried to start a gorgeous cardigan (knitted) for DD2 but realised I haven't got the right needles for the project

so that is back on the drawing board for the moment.

I guess it will have to be more of the crocheted food I'm making for DD's birthday present and maybe another few crocheted easter eggs...

I'm trying to knit a baby hat for a friends new princess, but have to master double ended needles because it's too small for circular ones. So much harder, and taking longer, but I'm determined.
