With a little bun in the oven, I am starting to think about making some cute little clothes and baby accessories while I still have a bit of energy left and there is a tonne of inspiration and ideas on the internet, here are just a few.

baby bunting

OK, so this isn't really for babies,and its a shocking pic - couldn't find a remotely good way to display it in the dark attic! It is mini bunting. I made this for a project I'm working on, but it struck me you could make this to add as pretty decoration on christmas presents or wrapped around jars of christmassy stuff this year. All you need is a bit of thick thread, some double sided sticky tape and a scrap of fabric. Lay a strip of double sided tape along the scrap of fabric (on the wrong side of the fabric) and cut out a diamond shape, peel off the backing of the double sided tape and fold the diamond shape over the thread. Its a little bit fiddly as they were so tiny but looks pretty cute.
