Here are a few things which brightened my sewing room this weekend - cheery flags all waiting to be attached to tape to become reams of bright bunting for an order. I loved working on this as there was so much of it - 8metres in all - and the room almost glowed with colour; really lovely
I have also been making lots of little mop caps for ages 0 - 3 years in such pretty fabrics - gorgeous cotton poplins in delicate pinks
and lilacs
and even a beautiful sprigged yellow, usually a colour I struggle with as it can tend towards harshness).
These are all lovely and make me think of Jane Austen!
I do have to admit to finding the hats difficult to photograph for the website; Isabella, my model for the 2-3 year range, is just not ready for her close-up! These were the best I could get...
Just look at the way her dear little curls spring out from underneath the cap (sorry, mummy moment there!)
I think I need to wait for a sunny day when she is playing in the garden; hopefully, she will continue to enjoy wearing hats just long enough and I have a baby in mind for the tiny ones, so fingers crossed! In the meantime I will just have to put them on with the pictures I have managed to get so far and hope for the best - sometimes those super-models can be so difficult!
Bye for now

Lovely hats, Pipany.
It's ok Elizabeth, I deleted it straight away - thank you though xx
Hello again Pipany! These little mop caps are adorable. I bet that folks will want to have more than one for their beautiful little babies and toddlers.

I love the material you are using, very summery, bright and comforting.

Oh what a dear little head. The hats look fantastic, even if they're not quite the photographs you'd envisaged. x
Cutest hats in the world.... EVER!! Wish my monkey was younger...
Very cute - my story about toddlers and photoshoots is when we had the CL photographer here; he took an hour and a half with the children posed in the meadow clutching bunches of wild flowers- they were great, took direction brilliantly (much, much better than me) butthen when he finally called it a day katie (then 3)came up to me and whispered "Mummy I've wet my knickers". What a star.
In the end they only used shots of her and not of Zoe which caused so much disappointment that I don't let them be photographed any more.
I hope you have fun planting all those lovely looking seeds,

How gorgeous! Such pretty materials!
When i was little my mum used to do dresss making as a paret time job, so I'd often find myself bundled into the pram or pusdh chair sitting in some lady's sitting room with my mum measuring either her or for her curtains or something. I loved it ........ so don't worry about isabella missing out , let her join in!
Hi there
Those little hats are adorable, my mum used to make similar ones for me in the 1970s with matching dresses - so cute, the dresses and hats not me - I'm not a big head, honest :)

Mummy moment most necessary - that dear little kissable neck. Gorgeous bunting, too.
Lovely blog - made me think of my youngest with her dark curls. Sweet little caps, adorable.
Time with our little ones is so precious. i really understand what you are saying as i started my business when my youngest, imo was just 18 months old. a juggling act but like you it was all and still is very much around the children.
lovely 'mops' Pipany and a very sweet curly girl.

Hello! Thanks for visiting my blog. It was very kind of you to thank me for the rose soap but unfortunately it wasn't me who gave it to you!!!!!! I love the mop caps and bunting, so pretty and summery

Found you via Curlew Country, spooky as I was just thinking about looking for a tutorial on how to make Bunting, cute little mop caps too. Out of curiosity which comment did you delete for the virus?
have a lovely weekend

Cute hats and yes, the 'Mummy Moment'... that soft, velvety skin. (tears are springing to the eyes--- my babies are 31 and 33 years.)
