Plans for Xmas

Gratuitous baby photo.
I noticed little curly eyelashes this week.
Are you all busy preparing for Christmas yet?
I know that if I don't start now I will be doing late night shopping and last minute things.
So far my head is just a jumbled list of "little projects that could"
This year I have decided to make pencil cases for the young kids. Last year it was pencil colour rolls. I might even get around to making some coin purses and Amy Butler bags. It means I should gather up supplies and scrummy fabric.
Little Miss decided she wanted a little red riding hood so that's added to the list.
Litte Boy has no idea about Christmas yet but we'll get around to something for him.


The little koala is just loving being snuggled in this easy to make sling.
All you really need are medium or large size sling rings and about 2metres of fabric.
Sew up one end into the pair of rings and voila, the most comfy sling for bub and mum.
Stay tuned. A little birdie told me there's a giveaway coming up!
So what are your crafty plans for Xmas???

    I have lots of plans to make Xmas pressies but I doubt I'll get around to making them all.

    I love the sling - it looks so comfy for both you and Jacqueline, who seems to be getting even cuter!

Invisible zipper foot - Birch

I thought I might shed some light on the invisible zipper foot. I bought a Birch model from Spotlight and it came in a little plastic bag with four blue shanks and a rolling foot. First I removed the standard foot from my Janome sewing machine (Sewist 521). I realised I still needed to remove the shank, which is the part that is screwed on, and holds the interchangeable feet. So with one hand holding the screwdriver and one hand holding my daughter, who just had to watch, it popped out disappeared somewhere. NO! I was about to kick myself but luckily I found it in the basket underneath my table. Phew. The Birch invisible zipper foot comes with one shank already in place so you know how it's suppose to fit. You have to select the correct shank that fits your machine and slide it onto the foot piece. I just tried each blue part on my machine and made sure it was wide enough to cover the metal leg bit and that I could fit the screw in it's side. Once you find the correct shank sl
