Tin whistle... oh for the last, like, 3 months.

If it was in my "To Blog" folder I have blogged it, regardless of whether you have seen it before.


A friend of mine asked me if I would make her boys (10, 8 and 3) some shorts. She went and sourced her own fabric (or rather she let her boys pick, hence the rather dubious prints) so I decided to use an Ottobre pattern and she could just pay me for my time. I chose "zoom" which is from ... ummmm I cant remember LOL. I think it might be Ottobre 2/2009. I will edit back in the details when I find the right magazine!

The size 8 shorts. These were the 134cm size with some length taken out of the legs.
The size 1o pairs. I made the 134cm size.

For her 3 year old boy I made my usual tin whistle Explorer shorts, and out of some left over fabric I made her a freebie matching Lazydays hat.

Some pram hoods and liners I made a couple of months ago.

This is my usual tin whistle hangbag with a little flap and oversized button added. I think it makes it look like a little dinky handbag and might add it as a standard feature.

Guess what girls??? Kath Kidston (of gorgeous fabric fame) has teamed up with Maclaren to make this spunky little, limited edition stroller. This isnt mine but I did get the opporunity to oggle it and model my hangbag on it.

This is the ingenious Icandy Pear pram. In australia is sold as tirshe Valco Rad, but we dont have the cool add-on doubles kit that the parent company Icandy sells with theirs. A customer that owns this pram asked me to make some liners for her. I had to adjust my unversal liner because the Pear seats are quite an unusual shape. The Icandy pram will soon be stocked in Australia, so if you are looking for a clever and multifunctional double pram then make sure you check it out (and then get me to make you some pram liners for it!)
