Tutorial: Embroidered Toasties

 One of my favourite friends had her first baby around a month ago. I love her to bits, so I wanted to hand embroider her some baby bibs as a gift. Both the parents are French, but the newbie will be a little Aussie, so I thought one bib should have a picture of French toast and the other should have a toast triangle with vegemite!

After the jump I'll show you how to transfer the French Toast template to fabric, then how to fill it in using Back Stitch, French Knots and Long and Short stitch. You can then apply a similar method to the Vegemite design!

That’s right. It’s winter and I haven’t waxed my legs for 3 months, so hot right now.

Tutorial: X-mas in July stuffed animals

Do you get into Christmas in July? I don't personally but I found this video tute via Threadbanger (with a Christmas in July theme) on how to create toys from a pair of old jeans. As an amendment to the instruction, I would stuff the bottom of the toy with soup mix or uncooked rice and use it as either a door stoppers or (if you made two) bookends?!

A question though, would you give a Christmas present that you made from recycled clothes?

Music to Make to: Florence and the Machine

No Light, No Light

Don’t mean to rub it in (that’s a lie) but I’m in Spain at the moment participating in the Benicassim music festival!! Woooooooo no making anything for me other than ‘hells yeah’ signals at Florence and the Machine.
