I finally sewed something!



Using this tutorial from SpaceFem. I reused an old t-shirt, making the most of the already finished neckline and the hem for the sleeves, which left me to simply bind the bottom opening. It went together like a dream, despite my bit of hacking to be able to use existing features.

I've made some baby clothes before, but never onsies.
Who is this one for, you ask?
Well... 
Me!
Hence the lack of sewing for the last few months. I didn't want to jinx my self by sewing maternity or baby stuff, just in case, and I didn't want to sew clothes that may never fit again depending how much damage this baby causes to my body shape on a long term basis!

What have I doing instead? Mainly sleeping.
But a couple of weeks ago we finally went on a road trip I've been wanting to do for a long time, all the way down to Esperance- 2000km all up. But you can see why it was worth it, even if it was a bit chilly.

And we finally stopped in a Wave Rock... the most underwhelming tourist destination in all of WA.
Cue surfing the rock photo.

  6. Thanks :) Not sure about Gorgeous Fi, more just an attempt to see how hard and fiddly it would be. Turns out its not so bad, so I can get started on some of the old Tshirts with funny/cute patterns still lurking in the bottom drawer.
