10 Minute Toddler Apron

Yes, I am NOT working on my list,

but this little apron will be worn once I finish the wooden kitchen.

It was raining again outside, so I used scrap fabric & wanted to sew something.

It's very simple.

But Ella loves it.

Picnic Capelet - Make it Perfect!

I totally died when I saw this Capelet from Simple Simon & Co

I know I'm suppose to be sticking to my 10 Projects I need to finish, but I had to sneak this one in yesterday over nap time.

I already had a pattern from make it perfect

Ok, so I had visions of really cute photos for this Capelet -
 In the park, Ella holding some polka dot balloons, 
wearing her gumboots. Cute huh?. 
Well, the wind picked up & it pored with rain.
So, we had Ella's first Tea Party.

It's reversible as well.

Dying Fabric - Doilies - A Tutorial

A while back I made this cute Doilie Top for Ella. (Below)

Everyone loved it, including me.

Then the grandma's started to past their old Doilie on to me.

I decided to dye some because I had so many.

Here we go...

I started with the below Doilies

Materials:

Dye - I used Dylon Permanent Fabric Dye

Gloves

Stainless Steel Bowl

Salt

Measuring Cups/Spoons

Scales

Mixing Rod/Stick - In my case Daddy Moz's Spanner (He would kill me)

& An Apron

Step 1: Weigh dry fabric. For this dye 250g on fabric will use one packet.
 I saved the rest. 

Step 2:
Wash thoroughly & leave damp (below)

Step 3: Wearing Rubber Gloves & Apron dissolve dye in 500ml warm water

Step 4: Stir well

Step 5: Fill stainless steal laundry sink with approx 6 litres of warm water

Step 6: Stir in 5 tablespoons of salt.

Step 7: Add dye & stir well (below)

Step 7: Submerge fabric into dye. 

Stir for 15mins, then regularly for 45mins.

Step 8: Rinse fabric in cold water

Step 9: Wash in warm water

Step 10: Hang to dry

And this is what you get...

 

From This    -  To This 

From This    -  To This 

I also used a blue & orange dye. 

They really look so good dyed. 

I made these cuties below.

Remember when I made my own LABELS
