Something else that has been on the radar for several years and it's taken until today to get all my ducks in a row! (Hopefully kids still use coloring pencils!)

It's been a very productive Sunday with walking the dog, planting the vege garden, three loads of washing AND four more skirts created by recycling kids jeans.

Upcycled kids jeans! This little creation has been seven years in the making! I first saw these little skirts in Hawkes Bay seven years ago but found little jeans hard to find in op shops. Over the last two years I have been collecting a supply and today finally found the courage to start making them. Many thanks to Christine from Flossy's Fancy Jackets for your encouragement and tips.

Over the last week I have churned out 16 pairs of shorts for 2 - 4 year old boys. These are from a couple of fabrics I found in my stash. Now it's time for me to concentrate on something new but something that has been in the back of my mind for about 7 years! You will just have to wait and see what it is!

Usually a Wednesday is my day to create - it's also the only day in the week I have to myself. Today I cleaned the bathrooms, spent several hours unblocking a drain (finally had success so saved on calling a plumber), walked the dog and mowed the lawns. Finally at 4.50 I managed to sew two pair of shorts! I also found this gorgeous camellia in the garden.

Such a lovely day outside but I was inside steering the sewing machine and turning out some more shorts for the summer fete season. Available in three sizes, 2, 3 and 4 and just $20 a pair. I only purchased enough fabric for one pair in each size.

A few weeks ago I posted some new fabrics aimed towards boys. I have finally started to make these cute, long, cuffed shorts, available in sizes 2, 3 and 4. Only one pair in each size available. A few more fabrics still to be sewn.
