(A little boys with BIG shoes.)

My mum got me The Children’s Year for my birthday this year. (Have I mentioned how much I love Hawthorn Press? I really do. I also love that they’re British!)

It’s a wonderful book, stuffed full of things that I want to make, and do – both now and in the future when FB (and his sibling!) are older. However this apron pattern, which is sized for 18 months to 2 years (ish) was yelling to be made NOW, and I had the perfect Japanese linen/cotton from The Eternal Maker, which I bought at last year’s Festival of Quilts.

And thus was started my love affair with bias binding. (I find the hand sewing bit ever so soothing.)

It’s too tricky for him to put on by himself, and I still have to finish the pocket, but he seems to love it, and so do I. 🙂
