sewing box

It was my birthday recently, and once again my very handy man has given me the most beautiful and useful birthday gift. We have a lack of storage space and the organisation of all my sewing things comprises of boxes and bags stacked up beside our bed. He found this old tool box in an antique store down the road, he cleaned it up, added some compartments, trays, drawers and a vintage box for bobbins. It still has all of its rustic charm and I love it. And it is the first step in having my own organised sewing space!

birthday bows

I had made this little top for Hannah, my birthday picnic was the perfect occasion for her to wear it for the first time. Mind you, white is probably not the best colour to wear while playing in the park, chasing ducks and eating party food.

I created the pattern for the top by taking the pattern of a gorgeous tiny baby top my sister found in an op-shop, modifying and up-sizing it.
