A handsome man & a Thomas fan!!!

I have been sewing, I just couldn't tell you what I had been working on because it was a KK present for this handsome young man.. I had been wanting to make a boys outfit for a long time but I couldn't get motivated until I found out that I had Declan for my KK.. I saw these pants on someones blog awhile ago (sorry, I can't remember who!) and I thought I'd give it a go.. Changed the style a bit though (no tabs on the side..)



Knowing that Declan is Thomas the Tank Engine's number one fan I couldn't resist putting this embroidered Thomas applique onto it. It is an iron-on transfer but I handstitched a blanket stitch around it. It finished it off nicely I think!

The sleeves have a small 'tab' on them too with a wooden button holding them down, the fabric matches the checked fabric on the pants.


A special thank you to the talented Lisa Barnes for the photography.

So that's what I've been doing amongst a whole lot of orders.. I didn't get a chance to make Emily her birthday outfit (her b'day is on Sunday 17th Dec) or Christmas outfit.. I will probably have to pack all my sewing stuff up soon ready to put on the truck in about 3 weeks..

Things are hectic around here!! Packing, cleaning, parties, goodbyes :( Birthdays, Christmas.. And it doesn't stop there either, it just starts back up again in the new year.. Oh well, I can't say that my life is boring!!

Ok, I'm off.. Hopefully I'll get back on here before I leave..
