Model F

It's been a very long time that I have been wanting to sew something from the japanese book "stylish dress book" , at that time many were sewing the model T, which is very cute but looked difficult to me

Then I recently fell on this blog: La Fabrique de Vivie where Sylvie made the model F and shortened it, I think it looks great!

So here is my attempt at the F model, with instructions to make the front slit from Zabou (it's in french but pictures speak for themselves) without it I couldn't have made it, thanks Zabou!

Baby summer pants

Wow these days have been so hot! I didn't have enough summer pants for little one to wear but found a great tutorial to make some in no time, thanks to Rookie moms tutorial, here is my model showing off my first try :-)

Boys month !

 Christine from the Frk Turkis blog has initiated a series of posts during the month of July related to Boys Stuff - the Boys Month, such a great idea, I'm looking forward to finding some nice inspiration to spoil my little boy :-)

I promised I would dedicate a post to the boys month and here is my contribution: a very boyish pram chain made of dinosaurs

I got the idea from Bettina "lille bitte fnug". I participated in a swap with her, where she gave me a very nice fabric rattle that can be seen here.

I was also very lucky to find this great cheap bed linen for kids at my local supermarket, so here we go with a little demo on how I did it :-)

I cut through the two layers of the bed linen, around the dinosaur

Put the two piece of fabric right sides together, and in between a ribbon folded in two

Sew around the edges, leave an opening at the bottom, cut slits at the curves and turn inside out

Fill in with fill stuff and sew the opening by hand

you can now populate the chain :-)
 

Felt cupcakes/muffins

I fell in love with the cupcakes of Pralerier's Give Away and their packaging! She used a real baker cake box and the muffins are so cute.

As I didn't get to be the lucky new owner of these sweets, I had to do some for me to enjoy (^-^)

With the help of this book isbn978-4-529-04431-8 and some inspiration from sweetipiebakery's etsy shop

Gavelegen - retur

Følgende nye regler til gavelegen, har jeg sendt en lille gave retur til lille bitte fnug, nogle filt-frugter.

Hun fik dem og var så venlig til at lægge en sød kommentar, tak (^-^).

Jeg har stadigvæk en plads til nogen der kunne have lyst til at lave en "swap" omkring  temaet Jordbær (?) - kan ses i mit tidligere indlæg

Homemade playdough --- the one for the architects!

Some time ago Jaydensmommy on youtube made a video tutorial on how to make homemade playdough, thought it was a really nice idea! So here I am trying to reproduce it ... but... as food colorants are banned in our household (._.) I started my first batch with "ecological" wheat, that's what the braun stuff on the table is made of. As it looked a bit too boring I decided to do another batch with some blackcurrant juice (Ribena) hoping the red-bluish color would color the dough... and the result: a very weird green color, but at least it's better than white

Luckily, my son didn't care too much and indulged in playing with me - and we had a lot of fun (^_~)

Noeud pap

Found on this very colorful and girlie blog : Gavin børnetøj, a great tutorial for crochet bows!

Here is my first attempt:

Then, while talking to my mom via skype, I showed her the result and she said: "oh that could make a bow tie for lille one!  " ni une ni deux I started working on it:

Thanks mom, I love it !
