Scandi Inspired

Popped into the local fabric shop today to grab some Autumnal fabric for a tutorial blog on making a skirt and managed to walk out with some extras that definitely were not on the list! A perpetual problem that leads me to request more shelving regularly.

Fox Panel and main fabrics
The fabric is by Moda from designer Gingiber I got mine from here The Sewing Studio

I managed to sneak away to the studio this afternoon and got the first skirt made and I love it.
The geometric main fabric for the body of the skirt with the deep side pockets make for a stylish simple skirt that lets the fabric speak. 

Front on 
One side with a rabbit pocket


Other side with a foxy pocket
 I would team this with a plain long sleeved t-shirt in cream, a black cardigan, thick tights and chunky boots.



There are also bear and owl options for the pockets.
Limited stock available in 2/3 yrs, 4/5 yrs, 6/7 yrs, 8/9 yrs, from £20 please message me at darkstardesignsmail@gmail.com or through my Dark Star Designs facebook page if you would like to order one.

This is a prototype of my new drawing wallet, I was testing how the pattern sizes worked in real life and thought it would be nice to give it away.

I will include some paper and they are hole punched in the corner and tied with a piece of ribbon so they stay together or can be ripped off easily. 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! If you...

Top 10 Tips for Festivals with Children

With my last big festival of the year approaching next week I thought I'd let people know my Top 10 Tips for doing Festivals with children. 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...
