Chago OVeralls

Our Little Guy will be turning 2 tomorrow!

I know!!! How time flies!

I have been meaning to sew a pair of overalls for him ever since I saw him in one when we were out shopping for a pair of jeans 2 weeks ago.

And so I sewed one up while everyone was doing their bit on preparing the little BBQ we're having tomorrow. I thought this will be such a cute outfit for him.

My Little Boy in his ChagoRolls 

:)

He Looked so comfy in them, I can't wait for him to be in them again tomorrow! 

His dad was mowing the grass and so he wanted to help

Wonder where he is off to... 

Ahhh... Of course, to help with the raking! 

I embroidered his name on the front. It's supposed to be a little more to the left of his chest but I would say it looks good anyhow.

This is surprisingly very easy to sew. 

I will try to do a simple tutorial on this when, WHEN I have the time.

Until Then,

Back to work for this mama too

Till I sew Next!

Bibs, Booties, Maternity dress and clutch!

Things I have been running in circles sewing for the past week.

Newborn Sporty shoes for the coming addition!

A maternity Dress for myself... 

Not very happy with this one but will try to sew another next week

This Cutesy Bib!!!!

I am secretly wishing for a girl, Am I?

A Wristlet Clutch Bag!

Didn't really get to sew that much.

I'm kind of trying to work on something else at the moment. 

I'll be sharing with the whole world when the time is right.

Till then,

Have a great weekend!

Counting Play Mat

I had another request for a playmat... Actually, to be honest, I had lots of requests but I had to turn them down. It takes a lot of head cracking, hardwork and TIME as well as some stretching and some patience when it comes to sewing a play mat. This order was long overdue actually. Since December I think? Luckily it was for a friend and she understood. Plus, the first trimester I had wasn't exactly the same easy going one like when I was pregnant with Chago. 

So here's the finished product.

The counting Play Mat.

kind of actually thrilled at the fact that just after minutes of uploading the pictures, I had over 150 hits on my facebook album! Thank you So much for the grand Support! It makes me feel so so special  :)

Enjoy!

P/s: Forgive me for the quality of the photos taken...

Chago just couldn't contain himself therefore I had to mind him and the picture taking at the same time!

Customized for Qayyum

An Apple in a basket

A car with TWO wheels

A sandwich with THREE eggs

A Fish bowl with FOUR Fishes

A night Cloud with FIVE stars

A dice with SIX Dots

A bag of Cookies with SEVEN Cookies

A flower with EIGHT petals

A Birthday Cake with NINE Candles

A tree with TEN birds

Now time for the "Play"

Starting with the flowers since they are the most colourful ones on the mat

Took them off, counted, named the colours with mama and fixing them back on :)

Counting stars and humming to "Twinkle Twinkle little Star"

Dice! Count them dots!

Getting the cookies out. Chago said that these were Raisin Cookies!

Raisins makes his world go round :)

Counting as he takes them off

Anymore in there?

Getting the little fishies out.

Here, Chago actually looked at the colour of the fish, the eyes and was making them swim in the bowl 

hahaha, too cute!

EGGS!!! Chago loves eggs!

Count them and put them in!

During the making of this mat, occasionally I found myself alone in my bedroom...

Whenever I had to look for him, I would find him sitting on the unfnished mat pretending to eat the egg sandwich :) I could hear him say "onomnonomnom"

Chago named the colour of the apple and said "Only one"

Counting the birds, naming the colours and even counting the feet!

Wasn't expecting him to count the feet

Sang Happy Birthday and pretending to blow the candles

Hahaha, this boy can really entertain himself.

He was counting the candles in this picture

Taking the wheels off and putting them back. He loves cars (don't all boys!)

He even counted the windows!

Here, he found the letter M

Ahhhhh

"Time to relax" was what he really did say :)

Till I sew next :)

Dust Off! Dust Covers and Straps!

Yes, let's do a little dusting shall we?
You'll have to forgive me, I have been very quiet for the past couple of months. I have been busy with the whole first trimester sickness and losing all sorts of motivation and will to sew during those past months.

YES, my little guy will be having his very own little buddy soon! And he's as excited as we are!

Now, I am getting those sleepless nights just thinking about sewing, sewing new projects, sewing maternity dresses and tops for myself and eagerly wanting to know if I will be expecting a girl or a boy. It's nothing really but if I am expecting a girl, I can't wait to jump onto some girlie dresses for the coming addition!

Anyway, I received a new challenge which psyched me so much, I was excited to work on them and finished in 1.5 days flat while minding an almost 2 toddler and house chores. Dust covers for a washing machine and a microwave and a Camera Strap that isn't a sleeve :) I love new projects. More than happy to work with them always!

Here are the pictures. I actually took pictures of the Microwave top dust cover in the making to post a simple how to. Will do it soon, maybe after this post. I really need to reorganize this blog. It's such a mess!

Enjoy!

Stick them eyes on!

Here's what we made and that I haven't blogged about.

Chago actually enjoyed doing this and I can see him concentrating when he's gluing the eyes on.

Helps with coordination too.

I need not tell him where the eyes are supposed to go to.

He just went for it!

The finished project up on our refrigerator

Here's Chago gluing on Papa's eyes :)

The Grand dad's Next

  

Want to gues who this is? :)

This little guy needs no introduction at all

Here they are - Glued on!
The eyes of the people Chago have grown to love

Up on the refrigerator :)

The Cat In the Hat

A cousin of mine asked me if I could help out with sewing Seuss' Cat in the Hat HAT

She got all the materials out for me and here you have it

The hat from Cat in the Hat made out of 

Felt and heavy weight canvas on the inside to make sure it stands upright.

I wish I had actually taken some step by step pictures but I bet you can easily google for tutorials out there

Here's one good tutorial though
