I got invited to my first craft night and I am very excited. A bit tragic I know, but some like minded mums invited me over to their monthly thing and now I dont know what to do. Of course I have been internet searching for what I want to do.
Through various blogs I stumbled on the magazine Ottobre which is a Finnish fashion pattern magazine (my like my beloved German Burda). There I found some free download stencils, and as I have some fabric paint lying around, I thought this could be a go - butI would have to try it out first...
So I printed the scooter out and cut it out using acetate plastic. I couldn't resist cutting out some tops. I had some lycra like fabric and found that these two matched. I reverse the fabrics so one has a striped body with plain arms and the other has a plain body and striped arms - should look very cute on Benji and Spencer.
I have a basic set of fabric paints and mixed up a burgandy and had to 'test' my stencil. It worked really well and I am really proud of myself. I just had to sew them up - now all that is needed is the neckband and a bit of twin needle top stitching. I think they came up pretty good -not only is it nice to have clothes made by mum, but it is also nice for them not to be covered in scribble prints as is the long running trend in boys clothes.
The only problem now is what do I do for the craft night???
