Sewing FRENZY!

I've been on a little sewing frenzy lately, playing around with some patterns and fabrics, and just generally making my kids heaps of clothes.  And they love having things that are made by their Mumma, and that no-one else has...  They LOVE one of a kind things!  So here's some of the things...




Henrietta the Turtle


I finally got the Henrietta Turtle finished.  It's funny, but kids can be so enthusiastic sometimes.  I actually bought the pattern last time I was at the patchwork shop just because I need a new pincushion.  The last one I had got left in the kitchen and ended up feeling a little greasy from all the stir-fry that I've been trying out lately.  So I bought the pattern with the intention of making myself a cute new pincushion.  Suddenly DD5 wants a Henrietta, now DS6 also wants one.  And while I'm in the mass production mode, I'll make one for myself and one for the other DD, who's only 1.  So when the herd of Henrietta turtles is finally made, I'll upload photos of them too!  BTW - what's a collection of turtles called?  Is it a herd?
