I made these gift wallets to hold a gift voucher and cash, given as presents. Not my most favourite present so I felt better to add a little bit of homemade!

Dinosaur Sorting Game
Project: Sorting Game
I made a game board to use with a set of dinosaur counters. On one side are white pictures of the six dinosaurs. This side is used to identify the different dinosaurs and sort them by type. There is also the opportunity for language development through talking about the different dinosaurs and describing their individual features. On the other side are coloured dinosaur footprints. This side is used to sort the dinosaurs into the different colours. This side will also help with colour identification and recognition.

Redwork Quilt Square
Project: The Quilt Project
My contribution to the project was to stitch an image of my family on my quilt square. The idea came from a family photo that I traced to get the design.

Refashion: Jumper to Jumper
Refashioned: A man's 100% new wool jumper
Into: A jumper for me
To refashion this jumper, I chopped off the arms, cut across the top just underneath the V collar, took it in at the sides, overlocked around the neckline, took in the sleeves and reattached them. I wanted it to be a bit longer and the sleeves were too short, so I cut up a woollen skirt I had also bought at the Op Shop and added about 12cm to the body length and sleeves. Then I sewed random reverse darts on the front, back and sleeves.

Refashion: Jumper to Vest
Refashion: A man's woollen jumper
Into: A vest for me
Inspired by: Gina and Mim
Another woollen jumper from the Op Shop, this time successfully made into something for me. The jumper was dyed using Ebony Black but turned out deep green. I started the refashion with a cut up the front then took the side seams in a little to give it some shape. The collar was then cut down to about half its original size and part of it was used for the front piece with the brooch. The rest of the collar and the sleeves were sewn on the bottom of the vest to give it extra length.

Kids' Pants
Pattern: Burda 9828
Tutorial: Knee Pad Pants by Dana
I wasn't brave enough to make my own pants pattern like Dana did, but I used her knee pad idea.

Pram Bag
Pattern: Make Up Purse from Nicole Mallalieu
A present for my sister for the arrival of her son and my nephew. I attached a loop to the purse which attaches to a swivel hook that is attached to webbing that is strapped onto a pram handle. I stitched a girl and boy on the front of the purse to represent her daughter and her new son.

Brooch Holder
Pattern: My Design
I made this for a friend who has a lot and loves brooches. The idea is that it is a place to pin your brooches so they will not be damaged, and you can see them all before deciding which one to wear.

Hanging Planes
Pattern: My Design
To be hung in kids' rooms, each plane is on its own ribbon so they can be hung close together or scattered apart, like the stars I made for my kids' bedroom.

Poppet Purse
Pattern: The Poppet Purse from Nicole Mallalieu
(made as pattern test)
Because of the swivel hook, taking the handle off changes the bag into a small clutch purse.
