Buttons and Bobs

I had never considered what the little red ball on the seam ripper is for before I read a tip from Sew-licious. Since then I have saved a lot of time!  Since using the seam ripper as it is designed for instead of picking out stitches and pulling them out gradually along the seam I have have had about 95% success. (On very thin fabric I have sliced a hole a couple of times.) If you have never considered where to place the red tip of a seam ripper please follow this link to Marti at Sew-licious

Two more dressing up aprons for a lovely six year old with a vivid imagination.

Brushed cotton pyjamas. I appliqued on the top of pyjama top but it is better without. Awaiting approval from the prospective wearer. She enjoys camping with her family and I am hoping these will keep her cosy. The pattern is New Style 6170. The colour of both the top and the pj pants is a deep rose pink from the same bolt of fabric. The phone camera is playing tricks! Update: Next time I will mix and match the pattern - I like to top a lot but the pants are too long in the body.

Easy felt hair accessories using the bow template from Oliver + S and Snow White colours.
