Sewing or knitting basket

Hello, my dear friends!

Today I want to share with you something that I made quite a while ago.

The idea was to use the same dollhouse pattern, that I already had, but change the way the house opens. 

So now the whole roof can be opened and the walls are stitched together. 















Inside, I made some convenient pockets for needles, scissors, etc. 









It closes with buttons, so I think it could be quite comfortable to use as a knitting basket. No need to chase the ball of yarn around you - it's all packed in the basket :-)

Hope you enjoy it, and if for some reason decide that you want one - let me know :-)

Lots of love,

Bamboo sling wraps

Hello everyone!

Lately I don't have a lot of time to update the blog and a few things  I've made, are still waiting to be published.

One of them is these super soft bamboo jersey sling wraps. 

I've used a lot of different styles and fabric slings. I've made quite a few for me and my babies. :-) But I have to be honest - the bamboo sling is just incredible. So soft and comfortable - I just loved having it next to my skin. It has some stretch across the width, which makes it so much easier to wrap comfortably around the baby, especially if you are new to the idea.

I don't have to mention all the benefits that come with carrying the baby next to your skin and close to your heart. I've experienced them fully with my last two children and I would recommend it to every parent.

I also made some instructions on how to do the front wrap cross carry and how to position the baby inside the already wrapped around you sling.

Dimensions: 55cm x 5m.

EcoFabrics.com.au is the place where you can find the bamboo slings. They come with a storage bag and a complete instructions sheet. 

Or, if you have your own ideas about the perfect sling for you and your baby - I would be more than happy to create it for you :-)

Have a lovely week,

Mathilda's market and a new range small size dollhouses

Hello, my friends!

I had a great day today, helping a dear friend of mine, taking part at Mathilda's Market - Sydney. 

Galia is the owner of the online store "Eco Products 4 You" and I am so grateful that she welcomed me to be part of the market. 

Along with her range of baby and kids toys and accessories, we offered my handmade modern cloth nappies and two of my newest creations: smaller size dollhouses. 

I was so happy to see people's interest and the smiles of children and parents noticing and asking about them. I am definitely making more of these in the future, as I think they were a great success today.

The measurements of these smaller size dollhouses are: 15x10 x 15cm height
I think they are more suitable for kids to carry along, due to their compact size.
The walls, inside and out are made out of felt, with a soft plastic insert to hold their shape. So they can be cleaned with a damp cloth if needed. 

The inside of the house is free of decorations on purpose, so that the kids could run their imagination and change their own setting each time they decide so. Maybe I should think of making some 3D felt furniture and even small size dolls in the future.

I hope the kids who have those two will enjoy them and have lots of fun imaginative play!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Lots of love,
