Santa was very generous to the young lady in our family this year. He and Mrs Claus had been busy using their scissors and sewing machines to make some pretty cool presents for K.
The biggest one was this tent:
Santa had used the pattern from Meg McElwee's ' Growing Up Sew Liberated'.
Santa had added a couple of extra features, including the clear plastic in the peeking out window. He also added an extra piece of velcro to close the door. Clever, clever Santa.
Santa also used the backpack pattern from
'Oliver + S Little Things to Sew' by Liesl Gibson to make a Babushka backpack. The doll on the back is applique and pink piping was used between the front, gusset, and top and bottom backs. Actual strapping was used but it does slip! A great pattern - fantastic instructions and easy to make, though the denim did make it rather thick to sew at many parts.
