I am determined to get my machines out (well they are already out) today & finish a top that I'm making, got as far as cutting it out & pinning half together.

I want to sew up my merino that I used for wraps into some form of bag that C will keep on while he's asleep Not sure if I'll use a pattern or go off the top of my head with an idea LOL Althought am thinking I might use the part of the pattern from the dress on the previous page.]]> Mon, 14 Jun 2010 10:36:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33177&PID=1062554&title=patterns-for-baby-stuff#1062554 <![CDATA[Patterns for Baby Stuff! : Here is my attempt.

I find spotlights Quilting fabric section the BEST place for all the custie fabric :D I'm a quilter anyway and i usually go to my local quilt shop. Sure you dont get as much fabric for your buck, but at least you know it's a decent cotton and it doesnt need to be washed first! ]]> Fri, 14 May 2010 16:27:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33177&PID=1027287&title=patterns-for-baby-stuff#1027287 <![CDATA[Patterns for Baby Stuff! : omg - love this thread - and I...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33177&PID=1027103&title=patterns-for-baby-stuff#1027103 Author: littlestar

Here is my first shoe - with the wonky back! I just finished the matching one and it was wonky but not as bad, I kind of made 2 little pleats in the back. Might try it out with the different fabric and see how I go.

Shoe (and chubby little leg!)

Bib that you cant really see and hat I made

I have made several of these reversible dresses, but it shows well how to trace a pattern from an existing dress. A-line dresses are so easy to make patterns for! I used snaps for the shoulders, but you can adjust it easily with ties or buttons.

This is what mine turned out like, size 9-12 months-ish.

Hunters Mama I found that the hardest part to do as it's the narrowest part of the sole. I had to go super slowly to get around there. I also found that thicker fabrics were hardest.

Nooo another enabler - I'm really meant to be sewing not finding more and more things I want to make. Lol - I love the baby pants pattern and the hooded towel on this site Free baby clothes patterns. At this rate I'm going to need to be pg for a year to make all the stuff I have convinced myself I need..... I have some half cut out nappies from this Jalie Nappy Pattern (not free sorry team - and only available to NZ over internet as no-one is importing them so far) that I have modified for snaps that I am "supposed" to be sewing this weekend. Now I want to go buy more fabric to make a Moses Basket liner which I was directed to by make for baby directory site.

I made this snake last night for a first birthday present. The joiners I used were ribbon ties, velcro, snaps, and buttons. SO easy, just whipped up out of fabric scraps, and filled with an old pillow that I pulled apart!]]> Fri, 07 May 2010 09:33:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33177&PID=1018931&title=patterns-for-baby-stuff#1018931 <![CDATA[Patterns for Baby Stuff! : Here&#039;s another cool link...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33177&PID=1018644&title=patterns-for-baby-stuff#1018644 Author: Black_Friday

Yes, I added about 1.5cm to make the soles longer (but not wider) and about 1cm to the back strap. I measured Jody from tip toe to back of heel and added a bit for hem allowance.
If I had to make them any bigger I would have made the top piece longer (between toe and ankle).

Esmesmum, for the decorations I used those tiny ribbon thing you get inside shirt and skirts (you know, the ones you don't cut off for a while and they keep sticking out, or get caught in your skirt zip?).

I made those shoes with some thick pvc type stuff on the sole, they worked out really well and were quite easy. I also read (possibly on that pattern/link) to go to the op shop and get a cheap leather handbag, which is rather clever, especially because our local op shop has these on sale for $1. Bargain.
The puff paint is also genious, and it could look really funky.

I'm with you girls - I love making stuff and have all my fabric and sewing machines out at the moment. I just went to the spotlight knitting sale today and bought some merino wool to make some little hats and booties .

For the shoe soles you can buy "slipper gripper" stuff off the internet (if anyone knows where to find it in NZ I want to know!) or make it yourself with puff paint on the fabric. Otherwise buy the non-slip shelf liner fabric and sew a layer of that over whatever you want to use to make the soles. You can also buy cheap leather offcuts on trademe by the bagful(I'm not allowed to buy any more according to DH - oops) and use the "suede" side as the sole.

Here is a site with a bunch of patterns for baby slings baby wearer DIY
Threadbanger do all sorts of cool DIY stuff and occasionally kids stuff (or you could adapt some of their other ideas).
Someone in another site listed this cool link to a craft blog which I am now addicted to checking on a regular basis.
There are some cool free patterns on the Ottobre magazine site as well.

I have plenty more links saved but these are my favourites ]]> Sat, 01 May 2010 19:06:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33177&PID=1012997&title=patterns-for-baby-stuff#1012997 <![CDATA[Patterns for Baby Stuff! : I do have some felt.
