A friend of mine back in Sweden has just started up making fleece hats (including dino ones!) and hand warmers for the pram (stroller, buggy, push chair...). If you are based in Sweden and would like to order any of these, please make contact with her. She also does customised colours / models. Web: www.bizzi.se   Please let her know you found her via BossyOz if you are ordering anything!

The Christmas Fair at the Swedish Church in London opens to the general public tomorrow Thursday. Then it's closed on Friday, before opening again on Saturday and Sunday. Just make your way to Harcourt Street (close to Edgware Road, Marleybone and Baker Street stations) in London. This year I have made and donated only child related items as they sold well last year. The other  ladies have all been busy making Christmas related items. I am going to be in the stall tomorrow morning through to early afternoon. Please come by and say Hello! or Hej! My items include: Long-eared soft cuddly fleece rabbits, wetwipe covers, crinkly squares, pencil rolls and fleece hats have all been delivered ahead of the VIP opening tonight and the general opening tomorrow. 

This is an update of the  previous version  of the tutorial. N.B. I am using a small scale pattern to show the various steps. I have also added a Flickr group, as I would love to see your creations. Inspired by a fleece yoga wrap seen in a discussion forum and on Etsy, I decided to give it a go re-creating the garment. I have often done this with pieces I have found on the high street or in expensive boutiques; it is a challenge I really like! It actually wasn't that difficult, and all done in a few hours whilst eating breakfast, feeding the littlest one, doing laundry, emptying the dishwasher and accepting a delivery. It took me longer to type up this tutorial than put together the wrap thingy! If this is the end of the post, please click "read more" for the full tutorial! If there is more text below this paragraph, then you are already viewing the full tutorial.

Today, I have finally managed to create something for the Christmas Fair!!! I made some covers for packs of wetwipes as the ones for pocket tissues  Kickssons made last year sold really well. Hopefully these will be popular too! If you are interested in making these, but don't fancy 'winging it', please come back as I am preparing a tutorial for this simple but fun little project.

I am featured as one of eight hoodie projects over at All Women Stalk with the fleece yoga wrap tutorial I created last year! Both this tutorial and the one for the  buggy bag are generating quite a lot of traffic and comments / emails which is really encouraging! I am hoping to make some other tutorials when I get a chance. Any ideas / requests?

I stumbled upon these colourful fabric posters today - they'll be absolutely fabulous for bags to donate to the charity Christmas fair!!! Can't wait to get sewing! Note to self: Next time, get more than three!

The third and final of my projects for the book "101 things to do with ribbon" edited by Momtaz Begum-Hossain has been completed! I like how it turned out, mostly down to the lovely fabric and ribbon I was given to work with! More to be revealed in a year when the book is released!
