Sofia's Olympic 1st

So, it was baby's 1st birthday and I thought I should try and make something for baby.
The theme was "The Olympics" and as a coincidence it was on the closind day of the Olympics in London.

This was the invitation made using cupcake cases:

 

 

 

 

 

The food (or what was left of it). I used these free printables to make the table decorations and some of the games

And of course I made her clothes. She's dressed as Mandeville the Olympic Mascot. These were the first clothes I have ever made for her.
I am so proud :)

roll cushion

I covered a foot stool for friend and then there was some fabric left which she said I could have.

Instead...since her birthday was coming , this is what I made for her

The tassels are the same as used on the stool.

Sew does Katie...

Katie is my friend and a member of my sewing group "It's Sew Easy".

For her birthday I got her this patchwork and embroidery book from a lovely shop in Andover: Quilter's Dream (This is where I did my patchwork and quilting workshops).

And this is what she did

It was a present for her mum. Her mum loved it...and so did we.

Alfie

This is what I did yesterday at the sewing club..Oh, I haven't told you about the sewing club yet! Next post, I promise.

Anyway, this is Isabella's birthday (5) present! Alfie is her dog and he looks just like that :)



And then I got a sweet thank you from her...I think it means she liked the present ;)
