Normality? The peasant blouse

After that last post I wanted to start off again with something a bit more 'normal'. 

Complete with sweet little strawberries (thank you for the fabric Great Aunty Cuggle) I made one of these easy tops for Little Miss Cuggle a while ago.  Just thought I'd share. 

There are a few tutes out there but I used this one from Indie Tutes.  

(I'm still going on the quilt but the way, wondering if it's too ambitious to finish it for mid March when Little Miss turns 3).

At my house: Making Toddler Headbands

Here's another 'midnight special .  After Desperate Housewives and Brothers and Sisters I felt sudden inspiration.  I made this as a thank you for a client's little girl who is having a birthday soon.  It matches one of the personalised tops I made her last week.

Thanks again Lou for the 'At my House' game.  The pattern and tutorial for this headband can be found on Heather Bailey's Blog.  I used about 9.5cm of elastic including allowance for seams to fit a 2 year old.  I made the band width narrower than the pattern and the elastic under the knot is designed to be exposed but I think I can do something about covering it the next time I make one.  Overall, pretty happy with the outcome. : )

At my house: Personalised kids gear

I love a new project.  These personalised Tees and PJs started with a request from a Daycare Mum. 

This long sleeve, soft cotton top is a bit more interesting with a little lady's name appliqued onto it.  This will be delivered this week along with 2 others, hope the girls like them!

These flanelette PJs for a little man feel so 'cuggly' I'm tempted to make some for Hubby Cuggles... and then some for myself! 

Thanks again Lou, I always like playing along with 'At My House'.

Late Night Pinny

Another hard-wearing little number for day care.

If I do say so, I think this will be cute with little leggings and a long sleeve top underneath in winter.  The red skirt got a thrashing in the sandpit this week but came out of the wash looking new again. 

Must go hang this on Toddler Cuggles' door so she can gush over it in the morning!

Warm and Happy

I love it when a project turns out the way I imagined.

Warm winter colours for the not so wintery Qld weather.  And.....!

It's totally reversable!!!  I know.  I'm too cool for school.

This is part of a growing Cuggles! wardrobe for Toddler to sport at Daycare, it's hard wearing, can get paint and playdough rubbed in without too much staining and best of all it looks good.  Poor little girl and her own clothes were coming second to my paying projects for a while.

Sigh.... so happy.

Did you think I didn't love you anymore when my link vanished from so many of your blogs?  I recently 'broke' my blog.  I had logged on during a quiet moment at work, (the lovely Liesa is happy for me to do this) and from then on, ALL the blogs that I follow showed Liesa's blog profile instead of Cuggles, sorry Liesy.  After getting no response from the Blog Help Site, I took matters into my own hands and think/hope I have fixed the problem.  Here's a picture of Handmade Heaven where I work part time.  Isn't it a cute little place?
