How do you make that?

Quite a few questions I get centre around how expensive something is priced at which leads onto how easy/difficult/time consuming/fast it is to make an item of clothing.
I don't have a video camera so had a go at taking photos at each stage of the construction of a reversible pinafore dress. I missed a few steps out as it's kind of difficult to take a picture while both hands are needed on the item in question.
Managed to put one together anyway, hope you enjoy seeing how it is done.

Drawing Wallet Giveaway

The first post and first giveaway on the new blog!

These are perfect as gifts or keep one in your bag for those potentially stressful moments in waiting rooms or cafes/restaurants/pubs when children need something to do, draw or play a game of hangman!

Tip 1 - Ear defenders are a must even if you aren't right down at the front their ears need protecting, we personally use the Edz Kidz ones. Tip 2 - When you are setting up your sleeping space insulate ground under you more than the covers you have on top. Use blankets or foil space blankets, even newspapers do the job. Practice safe co sleeping as the easiest way for everyone to keep warm! Hats/socks and lots of layers are the best way to go. My boys take their duvets as well as sleeping bags. Tip 3 - These plastic trugs are perfect for storing wet weather gear and welly boots when you get back to the tent. The tent stays clean and everyone knows where their boots are when it's time to go again. Tip 4 - Take lots of snacks and fruit, also refillable water bottles are a lot more environmentally friendly and cheaper long te...
