The little things in life...

For Daisy's celebration day I spotted time capsule ideas and loved them, one of my lovely best friends also spotted them and offered to put one together for little Daisy for her party.

Basically it consisted of a Kilner style jar, some fancy printing for the label and the little cards to write or draw on, some nice messages and doodles by the guests and even some little trinkets as keepsakes with meanings.

Just a few of the lovely things put into it... (We loved everything that was put in, these are just a few!)

For now its displayed nicely on our bookshelf until Daisy is old enough to sit and look through everything in there. The first photo was some jewellery I had for my christening which I thought was quite nice and sentimental to pop in for her.

So... I thought I need to get out my sewing machine, which has never been used. I don't feel too guilty about this because it was free from freecycle! Can you believe it? 

I had to watch a few YouTube videos on how to set it up and had a quick lesson from my mum and I was off. Kinda! I'm really heavy footed and not very steady but maybe that will come with practice. 

I decided to start with a pocket organiser, seeing one in a shop made me think it may be pretty easy??

It wasn't so bad! 

You need a big piece of material for how ever big you'll want organiser and then some scraps of material to make the pockets. As an idea if you have cute baby clothes you want to upcycle you could use them for this? 

First I hemmed the main piece and hemmed the top so big that a cane could slide through and some string. That will be the top of your organiser. 

Next up cut out the pockets from your scraps or material of choice, then as simple as sew them on with an opening on the top. I used a zig zag stitch so that if my stitching wasn't all that straight or even then it would just add to the effect. Or that's what I convinced myself anyway!! 

Pull some string through the top and a stick or cane, just so it stays flat when hung and you are complete!!!

Easy! Ish! 

Lots of love,
