Bag for Mrs Rae

Bought a bag at spotlight, and used Heat n bond ultra to add Mrs Rae's favourite (monarch butterfly) onto the front (cut out from a Canteen bandanna) and her initial on the front - Bianca wanted to make her a Mrs R t-shirt, to match all the other girls - so this was a compromise!

Then Bianca made some shrinky panels that read "Dear Mrs Rae, I love you, love from Bianca" and a picture of her. I hole punched them before I shrank them, so I could stitch them on like buttons.

Probably took under an hour all up.

Christmas decoration swap

Handmade Xmas decoration swap

My internet group did a hand made Xmas deco swap. These are my doves (one for the tree, one for an 18month old - so extra stitching, and no glittery bits and a chunky olive leaf rather than branch!). After seeing what everyone else is getting, they are feeling a bit inadequate... but off to post tomorrow! (maybe with a candy cane or something!)

Bat Masks

The craze started at creche with a paper cut out mask.... these are made out of felt and ultra bonded together and top stitched - pretty fast and easy to make. Since then I've made another 10 for the creche dress up box. (in lots of diff colours inc pink & purple) is cute to see them all running around with them on!

Letter T's

Made a "letter t'shirt" for B's school friends parties this year - seems to have gone down well. Didn't take photos of them all!

Painted Bead T-shirts

Upcycled shorts/cargos

From a pair of my cargos that had a hole in the knee - a pair of pants and a pair of shorts for Travis. Just two seams on each and either a hem or a waistband!

The pants are the current fave's - because of all the pockets!

Painted necklace T's

From last school hol's - unfortunatly I didn't get any pic's of Harper, Kitea's or Demi's (G'ma's :rofl:) but This is Bianca's. Not bad for a 5 year old's first attempt!

School holidays - B and her cousins - headbands made from a pair of tights. We got about 20 from one pair and a pack of precut felt shapes from the $2 shop. Copied from here http://www.everynothingwonderful.com/2011/04/tutorial-felt-flower-headbands-from.html
