This is an order for another beautiful miss :)

As with all the other previously pictured hand dyed velour, I owe a massive thankyou to the wonderful ~Earthly La La~ She is just a genius when it comes to the art of dying

I did a fabric swap with a friend of a friend. I recieved a heap of heavyweight type fabrics (upholstery, canvas, hemp, etc) and the deal was I make the mumma a couple of bags and with a few peices of fabric she picked out.. So here are the first two bags I made:




This is a biggish size bag with adjustable shoulder strap



This is a smaller hand dyed bag

These pics are from a december post but as I've recently added an index to my blog I've decided to post these seperately. The post they were previously in was quite long and had a few pics of nappies/covers/etc..





Ive still been sewing (a lot lol) and loving it, stay posted for pics to come, there will be a few ;)

sorry for the pic quality these were taken on my web cam. My normal digi camera died this morn and I have an SLR which I've yet to take the plunge and figure out lol

So without further ado

I've been on the hunt for a decent combie pic to applique and when i saw this i new it was gonna be cute :) its on the back of a nappy


this is the back of a nappy and the surfboards were done to match the ones on the front panel, heres a pic of the panel

Ive had an email about the CLOTHish covers and just wanted to clarify that earthchild sells mamapads and thats pretty much it :) I love making mamapads for other mummas, not nappies or covers (these are for my babies butt only lol). I am extremely flattered that someone was enquiring about purchasing the covers from me but the pic's I posted in a previous post were a christmas present for a friends bub's. Please contact Mel @ the CLOTHish blog (pretty sure I listed the blog addy in the post where I included the first pics of the covers). The pics of nappies/covers/etc are all my personal pics that i wanted to share as part of my creative journey here on these pages. I'm actually wondering if I should keep only earthchild specific products here? Please let me know if u think that would be more appropriate.. xoxoxo

Hope everyone had a wonderful christmas. Only a few more days left until this year is over and a new one begins. Best wishes and lots of love xoxoxo.

Here are a couple of pics of an applique nappy I made for my little man before we headed away for the holidays

So I have to admit I am OBSESSED with the CLOTHish cover at the moment. I have been altering it slightly material wise as previously mentioned, but Im now also including some lastin in the front and back also. Im doing this as I am using microchamois instead of fleece. I you like the look of the CLOTHish cover u can buy the pattern or contact Mel though the CLOTHish blog and I am sure she'd be happy to make some for you. It really is a cute cover. Im liking it more as it has the kind of shorts look about it which is great as my little man is now getting to be a toddler and Im getting some funny looks when from supermarket shoppers and the like. Awhile when at Coles a little girl (id guess around 3 ) look mortified at my son strutting around the aisles in a nappy, she pointed and shouted to her mother 'Look mum that boy has no clothes on!!!!!'. It was around that time I realised that in minds of children wearing nappies soon becomes the equivelant of us in our underwear.. That experience hasn't changed how I do things, just gave me an opportunity to see it from a different perspective hehe

Anyhoo without further ado, a few more pics...
