Tin whistle- March/April

Tin whistle has had a busy 6 weeks. Over the Christmas break I complied a waiting list of customers interested in having some pram accessories made. By the end of January the list was a teeny bit overwhelming, but I tackled them half a dozen at a time and tried not to think about the list too often. I am pleased to report that I have only one customer now outstanding :) and am now moving over to a new system of doing custom orders. When I am ready to take new orders on I will simply sell "slots" on my online store. At the moment I have them listed as 'coming soon" and as soon as I get back from my Easter holiday I will set them live. So stay tuned if you want a tin whistle custom order


One thing I got to do over the last 6 weeks was revamp my Baby jogger City Select liner. A customer kindly offered to send me the seat fabric for the latest 2011 model (which isn't available in Australia yet) and I used this to design a liner that will fit both the 2010 and 2011 City Select pram.

Here are some pics of this customers pram accessories


As as extra thank you to this customer for letting me use her seat fabrics, I made a couple of co-ordinating quilts for her pram. One in Black polka dot and owl fabric, quilted in a diamond grid pattern;


And one just in polka dot, with all over meander quilting. Both quilts have red/white polka dot binding.








She had the second seat for her City Select pram, so that meant two liners.




Here are a couple of pics of a universal liner order. This one for was a mountain buggy Duo pram (a side by side double pram).




And back to the City Select liner design.






This is also a City Select liner, but its being modelled in my (very well used) Mountain Buggy Urban pram.





And to finish off the month I made some boys shorts up for a friend of mine.
