Jungle Nappy

Another nappy I'd forgotten I had made until I went to put it on Noah this morning.

This one is made out of navy flannelette inner, terry padding insert, PUL jungle patterned outer (so this one's a 'proper' all in one).

About 6mths old now.

Dave's Sheep Costume

Dave had his preschool play on Monday afternoon (17th Dec).

I got a note home saying he could be a sheep, cow or donkey. Well he wanted to be a sheep.
So armed with 1.5m of white fleecy fabric, a day and a sewing machine - I got to work.

Having never made a sheep costume I wondered how exactly to go about it! First I grabbed a pair of his tracksuit pants and used that to trace a pattern onto tracing paper. The pants are pretty simple, elastic waist.

Next was the top - I have never made a long sleeve top before. I used one of Dave's singlet tops to draw the pattern for the body and then added some sleeves. I made the front of the body wider than the back as I was going to cut it through and add buttons, but in the end I just made it button up at the top.

Next was a head piece of some sort. I couldn't remember what sheeps heads looked like so I googled some pictures then somehow whipped up a hood type of hat complete with ears.

So, here is a picture.

Woops!

Woops! I forgot I even had a blogspot. Silly me.

Well now that I've remembered, I am happy to announce that I am 4 months pregnant (tomorrow). Pretty exciting. I've been really sick not only with morning sickness but 2 lots of gastro too. Hopefully that's all behind me now though.

Here are a couple of photos from my NT Scan at 13 weeks, 3 days.
