In the last few weeks of pregnancy I finally decided to a theme for the cot set I planned on making for our third babe. Black and white prints from Northcott mixed in with tone on tone blue and orange prints if it was a boy, and a tiny pink leopard print if I ended [...]

This is less tutorial (it’s as simple as drawing on a plate) and more review, but I recently discovered these porcelain pens in Spotlight and I am completely in love.

This is a great quickie project to gift to a sewer or needlecraft junkie! It takes hardly any time to throw together (the main time waster is waiting for the glue to dry!) and you can customise it to your hearts desire with cool fabrics, ric rac, buttons etc. I love how they look [...]
