Boy's hair clips

I was inspired to make boy's hair clips because of my grandson. He was born with such lovely hair that it is a waist to cut it off. It was strange for me at first seeing him with long hair. I was asking my daughter when she was going to take him for a hair cut. She told me she wasn't so I quit telling after some time and started to live with seeing him having long hair. At first she was cutting his fringe because it was always in his eyes but now she wants to grow it for him, that was when we decided to make boy's clips. We tried to make the clips of the animals or stuff he likes. He definitely likes the bees and we haven't shown him the other new ones yet. They take awhile to make and they are fiddly when it is handmade. I together with my daughter made them out of felt and embroidery thread. Here are our creations. Once you start making them you become to be more creative.

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.
