The warmth of cotton

I freak out when I see cloth in the garbage. You can call me crazy, but I don’t care! People that sew and have a serious business with quilts can see in each snip of cloth, a world of possibilities.

Many scraps, in this cold weather and with help from my Bernardo, began the process of this baby quilt on the weekend.
It’s still an unfinished job, but I think that I will quilt today due to the rain.

Guys, how about my son’s idea to put the strips together? He has potential! ;D

 

After to trim the blocks, it was very hard to throw the remains in the garbage....But it’s impossible it use them any more! =(

I was wanting to make this project for a long time, but it only happened now! It’s a very popular pattern in the modern world. I made some alterations of size and liked the result!
 

And the last step, which might be boring, made a big difference...a very hot iron!

White or colored cotton really keeps life warm, don’t you agree?! Pin It

Mom and fashion designer

Nina has proved to be a very demanding client and a model full of personality.
She picks the fabrics, poses in the photos and enjoys herself with me, her personal stylist. I’ve enjoyed my free time (rarely) each day to make clothes for Nina. 
She picked the fabric full of flowers to her dress. I was forced to buy endless meters of the so called Fernando Maluhy fabric, which is beautiful and soft.
I chose one of the projects from Liesl Gibson, my favourite children’s clothing designer!

Its loose fit makes it perfect for playtime, while its light cloth makes it perfect as a summer dress!

 And Nina enjoys watching the clothing production and trying on clothes. At the time of the photo shoots, she is one very serious model!

And we have fun this way: gathering fabric scraps, scratching paper with colored chalk.
She’s getting bigger and I’m loving every little moment of this.
