Buggy blankets

Summer is definitely over and MiniMojcek Nr.2 needed a new blanket for the daycare buggy. So I made it. Actually, I made two - the second one for MiniMojcek's friend.

As I couldn't find polar fleece thick enough, I made a double-layered blanket: black and 'Burberry'.


Black on the inside and the pattern on the outside. I added a zipper at the bottom and one of the sides, and the holes for the belt.


The finished blankets looked gorgeous - until the first biscuit was eaten in them :-)

Bob the Builder Costume - Part 1

Carnival is rapidly approaching so it's time to make a costume for MiniMojcek. As he is Ben10 or a cowboy pretty much every day, we decided to make a Bob the Builder costume:

First task was to find a red and orange long-sleeved T-shirt. But I failed. So I bought a plain white T-shirt and Deka Batik and Textile Dye Series L, Orange (39110).


I've never dyed fabrics before and although the process is a bit ... devilish... it turned out superb!



With a little help of the painter's tape:


and after a lot of dying and drying I'm very happy with the final result!


Not all edges are perfect but good enough, I'd say.
