What material(s) are the trainers made out of?

They're all amazing!
 
Hi everyone! I've never come across this thread before!
Some lovely stuff on here. kaites, your things are so pretty. I LOVE that your little girl has her own meitai and that her dolly has the same dresses as her!

I make bandana bibs and taggies for my LO and for my little facebook page as all the ones on ebay were boring fabrics or plain! I have made a few one offs for LO too like a roll up change mat, small wetbag... I was considering nappies but I like birth to potty poppers and as someone previously said you can't get the poppers and snap machine here really. I struggle to get coloured snaps for my bibs as it is and they're not plastic ones like I'd need for nappies. Also I use ebay cheapies and they're only £3 to £5 each so don't think I'd make them for that much less myself.

My next project is going to be a fleece lined blanket for LOs bed as a quilt is too warm for our greenhouse!!!!! Going to get fabric I like and then use the rest for a blind (if I can get the right stiffener) or curtains and poss a fabric applique picture or cushion to match. I think that will be nearer to Christmas though.

Look forward to seeing what else you ladies make!

The trainers are a bunch of different materials :) The outer layer is upcycled cotton jersey from Emma's old onesies/vests, leg bands are an old poly/lycra shirt of mine, hidden soaker layer is Zorb backed with PUL and the inner layer is OBV. I used the Tinkle Time trainer pattern for them too- great pattern to download if you are thinking of making trainers :thumbup:
 
hi all.
I intended to make some bibs for caleb as he is dribbling mad at mo but got side tracked and did a new cover for his high chair lol. I just traced the outling and went from there. It even has the proper button holes for straps. Heres the before and after xx:happydance:

This reminded me of something I saw on fb. A lady on there takes 6 or 7 old baby items and makes a patchwork teddy bear from them, which looks really beautiful.

They're £60 with postage tho!!!:wacko:

Here are some of the bibs I've done :)


ETA oh gosh Kaites I've just realised that in your avatar pic your LO has a cute little sling too! She has quite the range of cute baby carriers ;)

thats a lovely idea, but omg £60! i would imagine it is quite fiddly but when you know what you are doing it cant be £60 worthy fiddly!

i haven't actually started my quilt :blush: i now have about 100 squares of baby clothes and the backing material and sewing machine is all set and ready to go, but something always comes up before i get to doing it. i want it done for christmas though :D
 
i really wanted to attemp a knitted hoodie but i need to learn to knit first but im going to try one with sewing machine. will get some fleec and lovely fabric xx wish me luck
