Low n' Lazy

 Hello! Long time no see. Today is a special day. Firstly, I'm super duper excited to be sharing a brand new tutorial over at Elsie Marley in lieu of Kids Clothing Week Challenge. And today also marks my return to the blogosphere after a um, little 'blogcation'. Maybe you missed me, maybe you didn't (just pretend you did, ok?), but I sure missed you! Lets just say I got caught in my own sew storm.

Now, Kids Clothing Week Challenge has quite the reputation in our little online crafty community as a not-to-be-missed event in the sewing calendar! It's sure a highlight in my year, each time! Those close to me tend to be a bit mystified by KCWC. I get 'So you're doing that KFC thing again?' a lot. As they witness a cyclone tear throw my sewing nook for a week. But as for why, hmm, no-ones exactly sure. Something to do with sewing, that's a given.  How do you explain the thrill of the challenge, the endless lineup of inspiration in the KCWC flickr pool and the second to none sense of community wherever you are in the world? Guess you just have to be there!

So how about you? Will you be there? Do your family think you're cray-cray?

  2. Hello! It's good to have you back - of course we've missed you :) I loved the tutorial you did today and will of course be joining you in the KCWC craziness. Now off to narrow down that list!

  3. Hoorah Sophie. You're back. I've been on a blog-cation too and then weirdly, yesterday, I suddenly thought ... where's Cirque du Bebe? I wonder what she's up to? So I checked your blog and saw you hadn't posted in a while. Then here you are. Another amazing sewing accomplishment here. You spot such awesome fabrics. I'm working away during KCWC so won't be joining this time round, but looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with x

  4. Yay you are back, and with a great tutorial! Though will have to wait to try it out. My sewing machine is having a hissy fit and I cannot find anywhere in Brisbane to have a look at it before we leave for holidays on Saturday.
    Cannot wait to see what you come up with for KCWC!

  9. I'll be there, behind the sewing machine like you. Probably even at the same time, despite the time difference. Because as always, it's going to be quite mad.

  10. I noticed your absence. You were missed. Welcome back! I will not be joining you on the kiddo clothing madness (unless I can make them for my cats?) but I will enjoy seeing what you come up with, as always.

    I used your tutorial to make a pair for my little man.
