Free Pattern alert!

Assalammu'alaikum family, friends, readers and followers of this blog.

I am excited to share some news, first of all, Baby M has finally started toilet training and have been going a few hours without diapers, so I thought of sewing training pants for her! While I was searching for a nice cute little one that can last her awhile before I need to buy, I stumbled upon a designer company called "Made by Jack's Mum".

I saw lots of good pictures of the pattern called "Speedy Pants", come in two options - briefs or boxer, importantly, it is unisex, and it goes from sz 6-12M right till 12T!

The second best thing is it is free when you sign up for their newsletter!

Just click here, and scroll down to a yellow portion, fill the details up, and wait up for the email to confirm, and you will get your pattern there.

Thirdly, it only has 6 pages, so nothing massive to print and tape together, which is great for someone like me!

Lastly, it is such an awesome scrap buster! I had only used what is in my remnants bin, and had made 3 nice pair of briefs option. I would give the boxer a try another day.

Look at these, how can they not be cute?

I am sure some of you recognize where those remnants come from. :)

And no, of course no picture of them on her. I don't want to invite pedophiles. May all the children stay safe and be safe always!

You know where to find us if you want one for your little boy or girl. :)

Sewing the Sycamore Shorts

Assalammu'alaikum family, friends, readers and followers of this blog. I know and well aware that I've been blogging a lot on my personal rants and sharings, so here's one for the sewing readers!

I recently stumbled upon this "Sycamore Shorts" at Craftsy and decided to give it a go for a donation drive for the kids at KKH (#kkhchildrensday).

The pattern maker: http://sewlikemymom.com/

Here's the blog link: http://blog.rileyblakedesigns.com/blog/2014/5/14/project-design-team-wednesday-sycamore-shorts/

In there you will find the link to Craftsy, log in, and download your free pattern!

It is such a breeze to do this shorts and what made it easier it that it is soooo cute!!

Here's my finished product:

I tried 2 pairs in 2T and 2 pairs in 3T for the boys

and 3 pairs of 3T for the girls

All these for the children at KKH as their Children's Day Gift

And I tweak one to make into pants, and Baby M loves it!

Go ahead and try it! The blog explains a lot of the hows and whats, so I really don't need to explain more. I love the pockets and I will probably tweak it to fit an adult soon! Like a matching mommy & daughter pants of some sort.

Love love love it! Oh! We hope to get some time to make a few to sell at the British Club Flea this weekend. Hope hope hope! Too cute not to, right?

Love,
Jun
