Freckle's favourites

Here are a few sites that I have discovered in my quest to find good children sewing patterns, playtime ideas, boredom busters, recipe ideas etc . If you would like to appear here, please contact me and I will take a gander at your site to see if you meet the strict Freckle Favourite standards!

Prudent Baby - brilliant website for all sorts of crafting run by friends, Jaime & Jacinda. I have made a few of the nap time projects and they turned out great. I would throughly recommend them. Their tutorials are easy to understand and the site is full of inspiration to create your own projects.

Shwin & Shwin - run by two sisters. Offers great tutorials (with photos) on a variety projects, from children's sewing projects, to accessories, to home decor. They have recently started a series called Sewing 101 which offers guided tutorials on more complicated sewing techniques such as darts, different seams etc. Most the of inspiration for the clothes patterns is taken from TV programes such as Project Runway. The site gave me the confidence to know that you don't always need a sewing pattern to make a good outfit, sometimes you should let your imagination guide you.
