Slowly does it....

Just easing myself very gently into sewing  after a long absence.

These little items are all for the year one  teacher at my children's school.  She  taught both my daughters and I have to say I am a bit sad that she won't be back from maternity leave to teach my son next year but I am very happy for her and her partner. This has been a long journey to parenthood for them and I wish them every happiness as they prepare to welcome their firstborn , a daughter , into the world in about 4 weeks time.

Using all Michael Miller Fabrics I've made a burp cloth, two bibs and a gorgeous pair of kimono booties ( with thanks to the free pattern on HomeSpun-Threads )
The whole set.

Below- showing the bottom of the booties

The burp cloth folded in half. It is backed with terry towelling and has layers of flannelette inside of it.

Below- Bib #1 has the white colourful fabric as backing with layers of flannelette inside of it.

Below- Bib #2 is back with pink terry towelling with layers of flannelette inside of it.

Below- The cutest shoe pattern ever, little Kimono slipper booties

I just need to apply snaps to the bibs and they are ready to be gifted.

I *think* my sewjo may be returning.
