"sew" much more

Sew many delights has turned into more about 'delights' and less about 'sew', so I thought I should catch up on the 'sew'.

I am surprised by how much I love sewing.  I really thought it would be a phase that came and went, but alas, it continues! Maybe it's just a long phase...

My mum gave me my sewing machine for my first Mother's day (thanks mum! Although, I'm pretty sure I should have got her a present, not the other way around...)

This is my little sewing nook.  Many a nap time has been spent here trying to come up with new ideas or to quickly finish something off.  In an ideal world one nap time should be all I need to sew something beautiful, right?!?  REALITY check!  Many frustrations have been had in front of these two machines.  My best/worst friend (the quick-unpick) is always right by my side.

I am developing an addiction fabric - hopefully it doesn't get out of control...too much :)

I inherited this pile from my Aunt this week.  I'm so excited! I LOVE looking at fabric and dreaming about all the things I wish I actually knew how to sew! ha ha!  Maybe one day.

Some days I don't feel like sewing at all, but most of the time I love to sit down and CREATE!

Busy Sewing

I have been busy sewing a few "Playground Ruffles" this past week.  I think they look great! :)

I LOVE this fabric.  I bought it thinking I would make dresses with it, but I think it looks perfect as a "Playground Ruffle".

This Big Sister, Little Sister set is sooo cute!  I can't wait for them to receive it :)

I love buying fabric!  It is even better when I have someone to buy it for. I found these cute fabrics for my niece. 

 

Grubbee is now on facebook (visit us here)! It's very exciting.

Thank you to every one who has visited our madeit store, liked us on facebook and ordered something!  And thank you to everyone else who just enjoys just reading the blog.  :)

The moment you have all been waiting for...

No, this is not a birth announcement....

This is something I have been dreaming about doing for a long time.  While I still feel apprehensive about showing it to the world, my biggest fan and number one supporter (my husband) thinks I am ready! So here goes...

This past year has taught me that children are MESSY!

Time and time again I found myself saving E's nice clothes for special occasions and then being disappointed when she outgrew them, having only worn them once or twice.  So I decided I could make clothes that are nice, affordable and perfect to wear every single day, for any occasion or no occasion at all.

Now they are for sale in my madeit store! (click here)

I've even had two orders already!! (thank you)

This fun skirt is REVERSIBLE! That means two skirts in one! Made from 100% cotton, durable, easy to care for and perfect for those "every day occasions".

My favourite is the "Playground Ruffle".

Made from 100% cotton, perfect for the warmer months, but great with co-ordinating tights for the cooler months.  A must for every active, young girl's wardrobe.

 E loves them too (so much so, that she had to try them all on)

Feel free to take a peak at my store and share it with your friends! I'm happy to take orders if there is something you like but don't see it in the right size or fabric. Leave me a comment, send me an email or find me on facebook.

Thanks for taking the time to look.
