“Bigger on the inside” travel set

niekemieke

I wish I had made a Tardis (preferably with The Doctor included – preferably David Tennant) but I made a travel set instead! We had an upcoming holiday to France. Only problem: Baby is not a light packer… Or rather mommy is not a light packer for the baby. So with a car filled with baby necessities we needed luggage that we could push and shove into the last remaining airpocket 🙂 Enter: the Portside Travel Set by Grainline Studio. I’m seriously IN LOVE with this pattern. I’ve never been the one to sew anything but clothes but this was … Continue reading “Bigger on the inside” travel set

The One with the Perfect Scarf

niekemieke

If there is one thing I love, it’s an infinity scarf. They are so easy to wear and never fall off. I’ve had the scarf on the left for a few years now and I love wearing it in Spring and Autumn. It really makes a solid outfit pop. Only problem is that it doesn’t match a lot of my clothes (yet, I’ve got a matching Lady Skater planned) So today I was in dire need of a quick project and my precious fabric was the answer. My 9m bolt were actually 2 pieces. One 7,20m and the other 1,80m. … Continue reading The One with the Perfect Scarf

Over the weekend we’ve moved our living room downstairs. It’s such a relief, because now I can do all the normal stuff without having to leave the baby alone. Since we haven’t got any doors downstairs yet, it’s basically one giant room so I can get to here so much faster 🙂 I love how bright it is downstairs and the fact that I can both see my garden and look out on the street. I never realised I missed it since our previous apartment only had skylights. I’m actually a bit sorry I took the bigger backroom as my … Continue reading The one where I made pillows

The One with the Bapron

My baby is a spitter, a cute one, but a spitter non the less. It’s amazing that she grows like she does, considering all the milk she doesn’t keep down. She isn’t bothered by it and if it were just about extra laundry nor would I be. But she doesn’t like to change clothes, so having to do it 5-6 times a day because she’s covered in milk, isn’t making her any happier. So I had to think of something. And when I came across the Bapron (baby apron), I felt like I found my answer. It seems like the … Continue reading The One with the Bapron

For you February – Project Weekender Bag & Project Pajamas

niekemieke

This For You February post isn’t the most impressive one but I had fun doing it so I wanted to share it anyway. For You February for my Dad. It was my father’s birthday coming up and I wanted to give him something personal. He’s a Landrover Defender maniac and he goes away on weekends with a Landrover club a lot. But everytime he has to take one of my mother’s bags and they are all quite feminine. So I decided to make him a weekender bag. I based my bag on this tutorial for a zippered box pouch. I … Continue reading For you February – Project Weekender Bag & Project Pajamas
