Apron

My daughter asked me if I could make her an apron. She wanted specific material and she wanted to use it for the garden to collect her produce. She wanted a large pocket in the middle. So I looked on you tube and I saw one like this. I saw how it was made and I took notice of all the measurements of how she cut it out and sewed it. It was easy to follow I think I had quarter less then a meter in material. I had just enough it felt good to have bought just enough. I cut the patterns and did all the steps the lady did. It came almost perfect except for the front band. I could have unpicked it but hey it is just for gardening even though I try my best to do everything close to perfect. Sometimes I can't be bothered and let it go.

Oven mittens

Oven mittens were actually my daughter's orders. She wanted these specific ones and her sister picked the material for her. It was a challenge to do, broke about five sewing needles in the process. Once I got the hang of it, didn't take me long to do. She happened to like them which makes me feel good. Made an apron to match. Sewing is great fun, when you have a sewing machine that works well. Anyway here is a picture of the stuff.

large doll

I made this from Bbs amigurumi easy to follow pattern. It is a free pattern. I want to try more of her patterns.
It was fairly easy to do I added nose, ears and eyebrows. I used two yarns because I wanted it to be big. There is nothing to sew but I did. I sewed the hands. I hope one of my girls will have a girl to give it to her. I bought girl clothes for the doll which she will want if she has a girl. lol
