Burda boy shorts 9793

 


I've made Burda shorts 9793 a couple of times so far in my lifetime. It is a great boy short and easy to sew up. I highly recommend it. Some of the pattern reviews say the front pocket is too small but I think it is more for looks than for purpose.

This version uses fabric gifted to me by friends. The red fabric has been my stash for ages, just waiting for the right opportunity.

Montessori Child's Apron

I finished this recently for a Secret Santa swap for a little boy who enjoys a good session of biscuit baking. The pattern was too easy, and I like how it is designed for the child to put on themselves, promoting learning and independence. I think our little chef deserves one too - its on the 'to sew' list for 2010.

Puppy love

Just finished off this applique t for Kaiden. Luckily it's a size two as it seemed to take me ages to do. I think machine rather than hand sewing would definately be quicker.

Sewing

Here's my No 1 sewing item for the year. A simple pair of pull-on pants (actually they are called 'britches') for Kaiden with a simple pocket and cuff detail.

Nappy finally finished

I finally finished off a nappy I started making ages ago using the Very Baby cloth diaper pattern. Fits well although it still needs a few modifications before being perfected!
