My New Attempt - Baby Bib

Since my boy was born, I always wanted to make baby bibs for him. I have envisioned many cute bibs and how to make them in my head for many times. Finally, I put my thought into action!! I drew the pattern using one of his bibs. I am quite satisfied with my project this time although my 13-month boy did not show any interest or appreciation on it, as expected. XP

I used a high quality quilted linen fabric as the back. I know most people use chenille or flannel. However, I don't know where can I get chenille or flannel in Hong Kong. Last week when I was shopping in a local fabric shop, I saw a high quality quilted linen fabric and I thought I could use it as the back of baby bibs. This quilted linen back make the bib sturdy and absorbent and I really love it! 

Although I have a boy...if you know me, I like making girly things more, so I made this hexi patchwork bib. This one is listed in my little etsy shop now.

Tagged Dinosaur Toy for My Boy

Thanks for the free pattern provided by the blog Beloved-ones, I made a tagged dinosaur toy for my 7-month old boy. I used my favourite polka dots fabric (haha!) He loves it :)

Inspired by this, I am thinking to make a tagged lion toy. Stay tuned!

WIP - Cross stitch of Erine of Sesame Street

I have just finished the 2nd cross stitch, Erine. My husband said it is prettier than expected. I think apart from the cute pattern, I have to give credit to the beautiful colour of the embroidery floss. The orange floss is so bright that it makes Erine looks really eye catching and lively!

I will make one more. Guess which character am I going to make? It's also one of my favourite characters.

Because of cross stitch, I started to like DMC embroidery flosses. They are beautiful. I know it may not be easy to get all the colours you need. I have been to a small needle craft shop when I was looking for flosses for this project but they do not have all the colours I need. It was quite frustrating as I wanted to start the project right after I purchased the pattern. I now have sources to get all colours of DMC flosses and have just made a listing in my shop. Go check this out from the crafty supplies section of my little etsy shop. 

WIP - Cross stitch of The Count from Sesame Street

I don't like cross stitch in the past as I think most patterns I found are characters of the precious moments, which I think are boring XP. But recently I searched on Etsy and found that there are many many cute cross stitch patterns!!!! As requested by a colleague, I purchased the Sesame Street cross stitch patterns from cloudsfactory and am working on a project. I have just finished making the Count. It's so so so cute!!!

 I loved Sesame Street when I was in my early teens. I remembered having a Sesame Street year organizer, pencil pouch and a Bert mechanical pencil. I loved loved loved the mechanical pencil but I couldn't find it now....wish I have kept it properly...

I hope I can have more time to sew and make craft but I am a mom of a 6-month old boy now and with a full time job, it's really difficult to spare time for sewing...sometimes I really wish I am a vampire of Twilight, no need to sleep and will not grow old so that I have eternity to sew and read books.
