Babywearing is one of my greatest loves! Having my baby close to me while still 'arms free' to do other important things (like sewing!), easy napping and nursing, settled and happy baby...what more does a new mama want? (sleep! i know!)

I'm of the opinion that you can never have too many slings. A nice sling is easy (and affordable) to make, so you can put my theory to the test and try out different types of sling to see what works best for you and your little one. This month, from my humble kitchen I'll show you (yes you! these are perfect beginning sewing projects) how to make both a wrap sling and a ring sling and how to put your baby in (and out!) of them. I hope you enjoy!

Felted Easter Egg with Chick

I just love to take something and turn it into something else – turning basic supplies into crafty-goodness! This month I made another video tutorial for you demonstrating the fun you can have with wool roving.

Sew Mama Sew featured these adorable orange cloth baby shoes from Jennifer Ladd, along with links to a bunch of DIY baby shoe tutorials. What a fantastic project to use those scraps up!

Kids clothes are always turning up in the laundry with mysterious stains, holes and other delights. I won’t throw something away unless it is 100% trashed – there are lots of fun ways to fix the problems!

Make your head happy with one of these easy-peasy hairbands! While clothes can be fickle, hair accessories are always your best friend – cheerful, fun and always a perfect fit – especially when you make them custom to your size and need.

Despite my best intentions and efforts, I have found myself in a familiar place…that dreaded last minute gift idea vortex.

I’m ashamed to admit that last years Christmas cards went out somewhere around the 22nd of December - not even a magician could make them arrive in Australia for the big day, what with the time difference and all.

With winter chill keeping us inside everyday – taking the time to visit the outdoors and think of the creatures who live there is a fun activity for the whole family.
