My very talented and quilting obsessed mum has been flexing her sewing muscles making masks for me and her neighbours in colourful pretty materials. Just got the parcel today. Ready for the supermarket! Seriously need to do my roots. I don’t even have an excuse as I do it at home anyway!😂

Careful Papa Bear, them’s hot! 🔥

​When stuck in lockdown making tiny clothes with tiny hems and no pins and your iron is in your workshop where you’re not allowed to go...innovative idea #473826278...Use your ceramic hair straighteners that you never use for their intended purpose anyway.😃👍👌

Tiny bear pantaloons. I needed brown fabric but I have no brown fabric nor any fabric dye so I cut up an old red t-shirt and dunked it into a green paint/ink bath. Not the exact right colour but pretty close. The braces are the elastic from old black pants. Also, clean. 🤓

Forgive the semi nudity as Little Ted still needs his trews made. In the meantime, he decided to pretend to have a hot tub bath. Something to do in these unusual times.

Having a hiatus from the cardboard and looking at costume. I have next to no sewing stuff at home so resorting to the tiny travel sewing kit I keep in an old film roll tub. Remember them? Very handy for lots of tiny things. I have no pins so safety pins will have to do. I could probably sneak in to my workshop without meeting a soul but part of the fun is only using what you have round you. I may in future keep more making tools at home but how often will we be stuck in a global pandemic lockdown? That’s almost a rhetorical question. And, yes that is old pants I’m using for material. They are clean though, promise.
