More for baby...

scrap basket

A basket to hold the blocks I picked up at the op shop (before my op shop swearing off of course!), which I made from lots of my red/pink scraps of fabric, I think I got a bit inspired while I was making the patchwork horse from the Softies book. I loosely used this pattern/tutorial from The Stitchin' Chicken.

mama bear on the drawers

And finally something for the baby from the Softies book, this is Mama Bear and she was designed by Nest Studio.

cupcake booties

And cupcake booties, which my Mum crocheted for me after I gave her this US pattern, which she had to translate into her Australian crocheting knowledge.

another dress

And another pinafore, which is a bigger size than the others I made. I made it well before Christmas but I didn't have any nice buttons for it, so after looking everywhere I knew to look from Spotlight, Lincraft & HobbySew, to all the op shops in the area, as well as a few vintage clothes shops, and then to Etsy, I started to give up on the idea of really nice buttons... and instead started bemoaning this to everyone I know, which resulted in my Nanna sitting me down with ALL her buttons at Christmas time, and allowing me to pick out the ones I wanted. And I must have winged quite loudly, because when I got home, Joe's Mum had sent me a little parcel full of her old buttons as well. So now I can only complain that I have too much choice...

more buttons...

The old ones are sooo much nicer!

Love the pinafore. Did you use a pattern? Can I ask what it was?

Hi Renee,
Thanks for the comment on the blog- the dress pattern is New Look 6576, and it was really simple to make with newborn to toddler sizes.
Cheers,
Rebecca.
