In a quest for pocket money Connor has been ironing his way through a garbage bag of vintage fabric scraps - I really think he just loves squirting water all over the fabric.!(If you think they don't look very well ironed, that would be because he popped them on my chair and I sat on them - oops.)
That one on the right just kills me - I had to use it straight away.
How excited was I to see that little cherry - it is offset , I just love it.
I earnt a lot of pocket money through ironing. It was a bit of a rort, although I don't think mum realised. She paid 10c per item so if you did lots and lots of hankies you could be cashed up without much time or effort. Cute goccos. Love the monkey
ReplyDeleteEeee! The goccos are very cute! You should sell them as patches in your Etsy shop. I would buy them!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm having vintage fabric envy at the moment. Love that little apron!
Wow! Love the gocco prints and the vintage fabrics and that little apron!!!!
ReplyDeleteHey nice to find your site, I found it through rousabout's blog! Nice to find another crafty mama. Cheers! Stop by mine, sometime!
ReplyDeleteI swear..I need a Gocco. My MIL and SIL keep convincing me I don't, but every single time I see something like this, I know I do. I'm just going to need to bite the bullet, and try scrounge up the money for one.
ReplyDelete(That's a cool idea to get the kids to do the ironing....I HATE ironing, and they LOVE earning money. :p )
Lovely gocco prints and the fabrics are gorgeous-good on you Connor!
ReplyDeleteOh man - I was looking online at Gocco's earlier and had just about convinced myself I could do without one - now I'm no so sure!!!
ReplyDeleteYour prints are gorgeous!!
Gorgeous fabrics - what a good boy :)
I can't wait to see who's wearing the little cherry pinny!!

Love the vintage fabrics! My mom gave me a stash of 70-80's calico, that I love and just can't bring myself to use....they are too precious.
ReplyDeleteYet more fabulous makings Jodie - I used to do all the ironing for my mum to earn my pocket money every week. As soon as mine are old enough I plan to resurrect the tradition ;-) x
ReplyDeleteThe prints are wonderful, and that vintage fabric is almost to cute to be real!
ReplyDeleteIt must be in the name... MY Connor is desperately trying to earn money around the place as well. He wants an ipod. That's an aweful lot of cleaning the bathroom, toilets and doing the vacuuming....
ReplyDeleteI know you think I am mad, but I dont mind ironing.. I mean, you can sit and do it, watch Oprah and not get the look from dh cause you are sitting watching TV.. its 7am and I already did an hours of ironing today! Jodie, if I lived near you, I'd come and do your fabric ironing.. not sure if it would still all be there when I was done of course*W* I love your gocco'd people too.. very cute!

ReplyDeleteoooh a boy who irons for pocket money are you prepared to rent him out. Love the little Gocco prints.
ReplyDeleteOh how cute they are!!!!you are really good at this kawai stuff,I love it!xoxo
ReplyDeleteI am with whoever said about the etsy shop but I think they should be finger puppets, sold in packs - themed or not.
ReplyDeleteOoo! Perhaps I should become an Etsy marketing manager?! A whole new career looms.
Such terrific and charming stuff!
