Big Butt Undies

 

I just finished sewing something for me, a stack of undies.

I call then Big Butt Undies because I like the coverage but the pattern that I use has many variations to suit your own needs. I also like that pattern because it uses smaller pattern pieces, in fact that watermelon pair was actually a fat quarter.

I was going to make a YouTube tutorial for them using both a sewing machine and also a serger/overlocker. What do you think, is that something that would appeal to you? I promise, they are super easy to make and much, much cheaper than buying a pair. I even tried to turn one into 'period undies' and it worked out fine too!

Handmade gift guide

 Ok, so the festive season is fast approaching and you're stressing about making all the gifts to give.

Well, you can still give handmade without makers anxiety.. you give handmade items from other makers instead!

Here's some great suggestions for you, you can start here at this Gift Guide but if you need some more inspiration then check out this gorgeous cockatoo that would look awesome on any fence or in any garden, Find more like it in the Gifts for Home & Garden collection.


Or perhaps you're after something to decorate a person rather than a fence, then check out this super cute cat in a box necklace that I added to the Gifts to Wear collection.

Or if you have some Maker's in your life or wannabe Maker's then what about this cute DIY Rainbow kit that I've included in the Gifts for DIY'ers collection.


These are just a few suggestions, if you hit the collections links then it'll lead you to a bunch more.
Happy web browsing & buying!
