The Greenpoint Cardigan

A new cardigan for Miss Eva, buttons sewen on and ready to wear. The pattern is from Hey June that I snapped it up a few weeks ago. I started with a grey knit but it was much thinner than this black cotton knit from Spotlight and I didn't like how the buttonholes stretched so ditched the grey and went for this black instead.

I love sewing for the kids, but sewing basics like this little cardigan is pretty awesome. The pattern was only $12 and suits from 12 months - 12 years and I can see many many versions out of it.

Playdate

Today Liam has one of his best mates over all day for a playdate while his Mum works.

Soccer games.
Banana muffins.
Catching lizards outside.
Races on the grass.
Typical boy stuff.

While they amuse themselves, I'm working on some Christmas sacks, a dress for a party this weekend and a cardigan for Miss Eva. Hopefully some sewing to blog REAL soon.
