Baby Booties for Louis

I made these baby booties using another of the Amy Butler's patterns from 'Little Stitches' (see post about Sarah's bag for the link!) to give to baby Louis - now just 4 weeks old!


I used material from a much loved shirt that no longer fits me. The fabric is so soft it'll be perfect for Louis little feet!



I loved making these so much I have few more pairs ready for babies just waiting to be popped over the next couple of months! A sneaky peek...

Its Mum's special birthday and my gift to her is this quilt made from a dozen different Liberty prints. Its taken 18 months to collect, assemble and finish. Most of the fabrics are from my favourite local fabric shop Fabrics Galore in Lavender Hill.

Keeping Sarah's Stuff Sorted Bag!

I finally finished and sent off the everything-you-need-for-a-new baby bag for Sarah and with only a couple of weeks until Baby Thomas is due it was done just in time!


I used a couple of patterns from Amy Butler's 'Little Stitches' Book (Everything Bag and Changing Mat). The exterior fabric is also from Amy Butler's Soul Blossom's range.


I added a couple of small essential, emergency items - including the cute monkey rattle - to get her started ready for motherhood second-time round!
