Dollhouses and some exciting news!

Hello, my dear friends!

Thank you so much for the interest and the kinds words I receive from you! Thanks for believing in me and my passion for sewing!
I am so fortunate to have such a wonderful circle of people, who wholeheartedly support me!

Today I would like to present you my last two creations, ordered by sweet Claudia, the owner of Eco Fabrics
I don't have the words to express how much we share the same passion with her. I can only hope we continue working together in the future.

Three weeks ago Claudia asked me to make two dollhouses, and my immediate thought was to use the amazing fabrics from her store. They are all 100% certified organic cotton, with some of the most wonderful designer prints I've ever seen.

So let me present you first, the dollhouse made for a very special little girl, who still has no idea this would be her birthday present:








You can see more detailed photos of this house in the Toys section.


And here is the other dollhouse, which will be the sample in Claudia's store:









Again, you can see more photos of this one in the Toys section.

I am so happy to announce that all my handmade creations can already be purchased from EcoFabrics' store, located at: 
Shop 503 Port Hacking South Road,
Caringbah, NSW 2229


If you go to the store, you can actually get to choose your own fabrics for the dollhouse from all the fabrics available there and believe me, it won't be an easy decision! They are just amazing!

Two-rows snaps closure

Recently a lady asked me if I can make nappy covers with two rows of snaps for closure. So I decided to try and test them on my son first. 
The two rows of snaps do give a better fit around the waist but there a few more snaps to deal with when changing the nappy.
Depending on the fabric used - I think the two rows benefit the thinner(1mil) PUL, giving a better fit.
Here are some photos of my son wearing a two-row snaps cover made from the thinner PUL.

Swim nappy

I made this swim nappy for a sweet little girl who loves to swim with her mom. It doesn't need any absorbent parts, so I decided to change the original cloth nappy pattern a bit to achieve a better fit.  Of course, I made one for my son first, just to test it, and I have to say, I'm pretty pleased with the result and the fit. I'm so glad I had a similar feedback from my client too.

The nappy is made from PUL and suedecloth.
