HOW TO SEW A CUTE JERSEY BEANIE FOR BABY

This is a great way to use up pieces of jersey left-over from other projects. You can make the beanie from one single fabric or mix and match like we have.

Lovely organic cotton jerseys are from Lillestoff's collection and you find many of them on our Easy shop.

Something else - Bambi DIY-project

In our summer issue we  introduced you a cute soft toy Bambi created by talented Finnish designer Anniina Isokangas from PaaPii Design. She is a mother of two and has recently transformed her previous hobby to a lovely crafting business. Besides creating colorful soft toys and pouches, she designs logos and prints.

Look at her gallery and get inspired!

You can do this cute creature by yourself. We have now added her Bambi DIY-package on our Etsy-shop! It is available in black and in pink. Package includes handprinted cotton sheet with Bambi patterns and sewing instructions. The instructions are in Finnish, but a link to photo tutorial will be included.
