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.

Drawing Wallet Giveaway

The first post and first giveaway on the new blog! As you can no longer do simple giveaways via facebook it has forced my hand and I have set up a blog for the business, something I have been meaning to do for a while so a positive thing and a job crossed off my ever growing to-do list....but now the list has 'edit new blog' tacked onto the bottom of it. 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. There are 8 slots for crayons, chunky or 2 standard crayola types fit. There is also a little pocket for paper. 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 Alternative Christmas Books for Younger Children

I've been thinking about the sometimes overwhelming gift giving season coming up and wanted to do a blog post about some alternatives to the mountains of plastic that line the shelves and catalogues. I'm a huge fan of books as gifts and some of the most beautiful stories are set in the winter season, these are perfect books as stocking fillers or just to have by the nature table to tie in with the seasons change. 1. Tomten and the Fox   - Astrid Lindgren 2. The Story of the Snow Children - Sibylle von Olfers 3. The Tomtes Christmas Porridge - Sven Nordqvist 4. Winter Story (Brambly Hedge) - Jill Barklem 5. The Tale of Jack Frost - David Melling  6. The Longest Night - Ted Lewin 7. The Yule Tomte and the Little Rabbits : A Christmas Story for Advent - Ulf Stark 8. The Winter Solstice - Ellen Jackson  Not a story book as such just a few tales about the Solstice from around the world and some information explaining how it happens. ...

Simple Waldorf Crayon Roll Tutorial

Supplies needed.  Fabric, preferably upholstery/decor weight or if using quilting cotton sandwich 2 layers together, you could also use interfacing in between. 1. Cut your fabric 28cm * 36cm 2. Fold in the long edges , turn them over twice approx 1cm (just under is better than just over) each time  press the folds, pin if needed and using a straight stitch sew along the edge. 3. Fold in the short edges the same way, press, pin and stitch. 4. Fold in the short ends, one end 5cm and the other 7cm. Press and pin. 5. Pin the 5cm folded end approx every 4cm, these will mark out your 6 pockets for the block crayons. Pin the 7cm approx every 3cm, these will mark out your 8 pockets for the pencils/pencil crayons. 6. Stitch from the fold to the seam, doing a few stitches back and forth at the end, this will help secure the stitches.  7. If adding a tie use ribbon (seal ends with a lighter for a few seconds), pin at a mid po...
