This is a Ring Sling... a teeny ring sling :-)

ok so I think I'm all sewed out for one night :-) so the mei tai will have to wait, but here's my baby ring sling!

it's got a pleated shoulder and plastic handbag handles as sling rings :-) the material is salvaged from some old cotton curtains, hopefully will get a tutorial up but it's very self explanatory I think... I took the adult pattern from sleepingbaby.net and just halved all the measurements :-)

yeyy making things!!

Finished: "Cross Stitch or Die" Shoes

 OH BABY!!! <3

I love these, and I've learned a lot making them, they're a little rough around the edge, but who the hell cares, no one is going to get close enough to my smelly feet to notice!! haha!

Work In Progress Wednesday: Marvel Superhero Canvases

hey remember ages ago I bought this at a carboot sale:

well... with a bit of mod podge and some cheap canvasses I think I'm on to something:

not finished yet, but looking good I think :-) xx

And now it's a frilly unicorn cushion :-)

see?

So. This baby cushion is (surprisingly) made out of upcycled materials... the floral base fabric is a duvet cover and the bias binding edging to the frill is made from an old pillowcase (I love it and I've got loads more, making your own binding strip is such a good way of using up small amounts of fabric)

And I've made it into a cushion cover so it can be removed and washed (and so I can make other covers :-))

The size of the cushion pad itself is 12"x12" (I made it out of a spare pillow we had in the house)

:-) very happy... and if Squiggle is a boy...  then this is my cushion :-)
