Hello it's me again!



Ravenhill has a great giveaway! She is sooo talented in making cute things....



Yesterday the girls had their woodday at school. We went with a horse car into the woods as indians! I made the girls an indian dress that they loved for that day!Mom was with them as a helping parent so I took these cute pictures. Only I was so bushed last night...that I was hanging on the coutch and watched tv. But also made these cute bracelets...during the moviewatching...
Yes I know always busy!




I love to make these cute flowers and do not have the inttention to stop!

When I was at the market this morning I bumped in to this cute bag! It's a fuchia colored bag, my favorite color! I knew it was so much a "ME" bag that I had to buy it, and it was only €12,50! SOOOO cheap! The kids are so much enjoying there trampoline! My father in law called me last week that he had boght Emma's b'day present already... It was a Trampo!!!! That weekend we had o pull it together and they jumped around al time!

Pillowcase jumper tutorial

After thinking out a pillowcase jumper for Fien I made one...
And the result is great!!!! and so thouhgt Fien! I also created a bracelet to her ourfit and she loved it!
And... I tried to make a tutorial...and you can download a printable version!




Pillowcase jumper tutorial

printout version here

Take a good fitting trouser
Fold it leg to leg.
Put it on paper and trace it.

Measure the length of your girl from sholder until between her leggs.

Draw the length that you miss in right length to the top of the trouser and use a bowl to create the armholes. Put it to your trouser pattern on your paper. It will look like this ( see picture) Fold your fabric and put the paper pattern on it. Cut it two times! One for the front and one for the back.

Stich the right and the leftpart on the pink line togehter. Now you create a front and a backside

Close the leggs in the middle. Stich the pink line at both parts so there will be a left and a right part.


Close the sides...

Now your pillowcase jumper will be like a jumper.
Make a tunnel as wide as your ribbon is at the top of the bodice part and stich it nicely.
Then put the ribbon through it with a saftypin.
If you like make a ruffle at the end of the leg.

Et voilĂ !

Tutorial Bag organizer

I made myself a bagorganizer. No more bags in the room on the floor...


I have tried to make you a tutorial...My fisrt one...

Tutorial bag organizer
Printable version of the tutorial you can find here

What you need…

• Strong fabric ( I used curtain fabric)
• clothes hanger ( I used one for children clothes)
• sewing machine

Measure the hanger

and cut the right shape...

and make a little seam at the top

Seam the sides and the curved sides of the fabric so you clothes hanger will fit in it and hold the fabric well.
Seam the smaller fabrics that will make your holders for the bags. Size them for your own bags!!!

Them pinn them on the large babric and sew them... I let the first overlap the second and so on...
If you like make some applicé on the holders....


And this will be the result...


Good luck with it!
