This year I made the decision that I would sew more for me and my boys.  This was my plan last year but it just didn’t happen so this year I was going to make sure it did.  When Jane from Lil Pip posted about a sewing challenge I was in, even better first up was something I could make for my boys.  A bowling set.  It took me most of May and the first few days of June but it is done!

I used to make dolls in my early teens but haven’t made a softie of sorts for a long, looonnng time.  I thought it would be quick and easy to sew the bowling set, it only had 3 pattern pieces, but it seemed to take me forever.  You can check out some progress pics over on instagram.  Anyway I got there in the end and I love it.  Oscar has been enjoying bowling with it as well so it’s a win from him too.

I popped into Spotlight yesterday and picked up some fabrics for me at 40% off!
I’m using one of these for the June challenge and the others are going to be dresses or skirts.
