Sewing with Babi

My daughter wanted to help with sewing yesterday. We’re away at the moment so I was trying to shorten my son’s new jeans by hand as no sewing machine and of course my 3yo wanted to help!

*concentration-face intensifies*

I put two of my hexagons from my EPP project together so she could sew around them. I thought we could turn it through, and have a cute lil’ hexi.

I drew a line for her to follow but she didn’t really get where to put the next stitch. So I ended up drawing little dots all the way around so she could see where to stitch next.

Angry sewing face 😬

She said I don’t like sewing about 2cm from the end and I finished it off. I thought it would keep her occupied while I shortened my son’s jeans but it ended up with me just helping her and abandoning the jeans for a bit 😂

Finished Hexi

What shall we make next and what should I do with “the world’s smallest quilt?” 😂 comments below haha!

I’ve been crocheting a lot of little octopi for my obsessed son so I thought I’d do an Easter adjacent version.

Flip Book of the Rings!

Before

I was really lucky to be able to take part in Andymation’s Flipbook Fest 2025! This year Flipbook Fest has taken the form of creating a Flipbook version of Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring. Absolutely crazy!

All the clips were claimed super quick, but I eventually managed to get one after some had been unclaimed. My clip is 107 frames, 107 individual drawings! It’s of the fellowship entering the mines of Moria for the first time. One of my (many) favourite parts of the film.

BTW Did I mention I’m a massive LOTR nerd?!

They’re my absolute favourite films of all time. I went to see them all in the cinema when they came out and I don’t even know how many times I’ve watched them at home. Basically I love these films and as soon as I found out about this project I knew I’d have to do it! I literally didn’t even care what clip I had, I just wanted to be part of it.

After

I made a short video about making my Flipbook, which includes my finished Flipbook. Hope you like it!

I made a silly Tiktok which has tickled me

Over on my Tiktok

Back to my EPP

Travel EPP setup

It’s been a while! It’s a great project for when we’re away in the caravan. It’s been 5 years since I started this project in lockdown and it’s still toddling along.

Like I’ve said before, I don’t mind how long it takes, it’s more about the process than the end result.

I’ve still got quite a few chunks of cut hexis ready to prep.

Like this pile.

This is what I’ve sewn together so far…

It’s been hanging on my wall for a while now

I’m not sure if I want to continue this pattern or to make it more random and less calico plain hexis. Not sure yet… we’ll see!

When I get my physical copy of my new crafty journal, I’m looking forward to putting my EPP project into it! It’ll definitely help me come up with some more design and layout ideas for my EPP quilt ❤️🐝
