tin whistle Dec09

I am just scraping this December post in on the last day of the month (and year!). I had a pretty quiet month of custom orders- instead I concentrated on making christmas presents and consignment stock for the IRL store that stocks tin whistle here in Perth.

But back to the custom orders....

Pair of size 2 boys shorts. These are made from a nice lightweight denim- perfect for a hot summer.

The first of my 3 "made for profit" lazyday hats (the pattern license allows a seamstress to "sell" 3 hats). I really love this one, denim with a polkadot lining and I sitched some free-motion flowers onto the brim.
Hat #2.... denim and chambray. For this hat I used some pellon (lightweight wadding normally used in quilting projects) as the stiffener. It gives the hat a nice structure but without stiffness (as used with heavy interfacing or shapewell). After a few washes the loft subsides a little (so it doesnt look so puffy) but the stiffness remains.

Hat number three- this one is a lovely classic style made with Amy butler fabrics.

Oh woops! I have actually sold four hats. :blush: I have done so much promotion and free adversiting for this pattern on my blog and elsewhere I hope the pattern maker wont mind! Anyway this one is a childs hat using some "juicy jungle" and I think the monkey is a kauffman.

Size 6 long-line denim shorts.

Lugger bag

Pram liner. With slight adjustment of the location of the shoulder slots the tin whistle liner fits perfectly inside a Steelcraft Strider.
