I absolutely adore this fabric, it is exactly the type of print I would be drawn to in any fabric shop so was super excited to be able to get my hands on the strike off from Second Star! Having underestimated how much fabric I needed for the pattern I had in mind, I changed my mind to raglans! I then couldn't decide whether to use the print as the front or sleeves.... so obviously I had to do both!  

I have been pretty quiet on the blog in December, I was concentrating on making and finishing lots of Christmas presents and didn't really have the time to write about them! Here are the first two gifts. My eldest son (Z, 4) decided he wanted to make 2 of his friends "superhero things" for Christmas, he knew which fabric he wanted them to have but didn't know what we should make from them. We sat together flicking through pages of patterns for around an hour short-listing a few along the way until he spotted what he called the "treasure collection one" that was the one and none of the others seemed to exist any more! Z likes collecting things wherever we are and I think he fancied the huge pocket for himself!
