Blog - Rebecca Leah Studios Sewing for Baby April 3, 2016 by rebeccaleahstudios Filed Under: Projects Leave a CommentI’m so excited to finally be back! Lots of crazy things have happened this year and now we’re only 5 weeks away from welcoming our first baby. As you can imagine, I’ve been wanting to sew all sorts of things for…

Hi everyone, it's well past time that I posted an update. So many unexpected things happened in 2015! I spent the last few months of the year renovating, we were excited to find out we are having a baby and now we've moved to New Zealand. So I'm sure you can imagine how busy life has been. My sewing machine will arrive in New Zealand in 3 months time, so you can expect to start seeing some cute baby projects just before our little boy is born :)

Just a quick update to let everyone know I'm still here. I had to fly back to Australia unexpectedly in May because my dad passed away and, since coming back to Germany, we've moved house and are in the middle of lots of renovations. We finally got the internet connected today so, as soon as we sort out my sewing studio, I'll started posting some new goodies and projects online :)

I'm taking a break for a bit due to a personal tragedy. I will see you all soon.

I'm feeling just a teeny bit extravagant with my new reading umbrella and summer dress in the new Tula Pink Elizabeth fabric range. Now I can read outdoors without trying to hide from the sun :) The Simple Sew Patterns ruby dress pattern came with Issue 4 of Love Sewing Australia magazine and was so easy to make. I think it's time for a picnic, don't you? :)

My fabric has arrived! I've had to resist the temptation to start on the dress all day so I can catch up on a few things. Plus, I kind of just like looking at it laid out how it is lol. But I think it's finally time to start cutting…

I've finally ordered some fabric from the new Tula Pink Elizabeth range and I'm so excited for it to arrive! I had to wait a few weeks for it to become available in Germany while everyone else was sewing away making some gorgeous projects. Only a few more days and I can finally make the dress I've had in mind :D

It's time to start stitching some goodies for Easter! It's not all about chocolate you know! :) Check out my Baby Easter Chick pattern for a great weekend project. http://rebeccaleahstudios.com/shop

I've detailed the changes I made to the SewGirl Summer Tunic Pattern in my blog for those who are interested :)

SewGirl Summer Tunic Pattern - How to Grade and Adjust - Rebecca Leah Studios I had so much fun making the SewGirl Summer Tunic pattern with Sarah Fielke’s pretty pink Millefiori Hearts fabric! Here is the final tunic and the original pattern. As you can see, I made a few adjustments, which are detailed below. The SewGirl Summer Tunic pattern includes sizes Small, Medium…

I just had to test out the lovely SewGirl tunic pattern that came with Issue 5 of Love Sewing Australia and what better choice of fabric than the pretty Millefiori Hearts fabric by Sarah Fielke :) The perfect outfit for some fun in the sun!

One of the hard things about starting a new business is knowing what to do when - there a so many possibilities that it can leave you feeling confused and a little daunted. A little bit of organisation goes a long way, so I created a weekly plan for my future self to follow :) Thanks Flying Solo for the inspiration. I'm already working on today's tasks and it feels good to have a little direction. Of course, there is room to be spontaneous too!

lol it can't be!

Oh the agony!
