Ninjago sweatshirt

MiniMojcek Nr.1 is celebrating his 5th birthday!

I decided to make him a Ninjago sweatshirt. In red - just like his favourite ninja. I got fleece in very German colours: red, yellow and black:


I sketched the eyes...


I cut the fabrics and sew the eyes


Added the 'face' of the ninja onto a very simple raglan fleece sweater.


When he got the sweathirt, he said that he will never take it off again. In the last week, he only took it off when taking a bath... In a way, I'm happy :-)

With a red ninja goes a red strawberry cake:


A delicious strawberry-yoghurt cake!

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 :-)

Gormiti

MiniMojcek Nr. 1 announced today that we need to make dresses for his Gormiti figurines. I had no choice.


As Michael Kors would say - that crotch is insane! But I should add that these figurines are about 5 cm (2 inches) tall and that I was given about 10 minutes to make the costumes with constant Are-you-finished? in the background. But that goes without saying.

P.S. In case you're wondering: yes, I did have blue and silver spandex at home.

Zippered pouches

I started thinking about this year's Christmas cards and presents and I remembered I haven't written about the last year's. These are the ones I made for my cousins. They were literally sewn in the last minute: when the family was already having Christmas lunch, I was still at home making them. I managed to make two in time and the third one a bit later. Quite a bit later, actually.

They were all made from this wonderful fabrics by Anthology, following the wonderful tutorial, the same as another pouch I made last year.
