*New Mobile Ideas* Jungle Mobile

I love coming up with new ideas for felt baby mobiles. I will think of something, or watch a documentary, or see a photo of something and will be inspired to try and recreate what I've seen in felt.

After knitting a tiger a few years ago, I wanted to see how one would work in felt. I've also been asked a few times for a monkey mobile, so thought I would combine the two and add in some more jungle-y pieces and make a felt jungle baby mobile.

Here are some photos....what do you think.....?

Bunny Rabbits & Guinea Pigs

I love coming up with new ideas for mobiles, and also being asked for new designs too, as they often turn out to be great ideas that I hadn't previously thought of!

Last week I was contacted by a lovely lady on Etsy, who asked me to make a bunny rabbit and guinea pig baby mobile and name banner, as she loved guinea pigs!

This is how they looked, I am very pleased with the result, they are so cute! I think she was pretty chuffed too...

British Summer Holidays - Covering Sun Loungers and Suitcases for Mini Boden

Earlier this year, I was asked to cover some suitcases and sun loungers in Mini Boden fabric for a summer photoshoot. It still felt cold and wintry when I was sewing them, so it was very exciting to see them on the website, a few days ago, now it feels nice and sunny and definitely Summer Holiday time.

Here are some photos of in the making, and the finished items. Sewing the sun loungers was fairly tricky, as I had to put my sewing machine on the floor, using the foot pedal in a funny crouched position, but to manoevre the foot over the bars, I had to unscrew the foot, and undo the needle in between each section....very frustrating!!!

Still, I think they look pretty fab...

They look a lot better on the beach than in my kitchen!!
