I’m sure you have heard about Pip’s new book ‘Sew La Tea Do‘ but in case you haven’t you can read a great review here.
It’s a must buy for any crafty friends or for friends you want to convert to the ‘craft way’. Pip has done a great job, it is beautifully styled and is jam packed with lots of fun projects.
When I saw the ‘Fairy Bread’ project, I knew I would be making it…so sweet and quite quick to put together.
Materials: Linen and Flannel from here.
My younger cousin and her husband are expecting their first baby next May and this will be their first handmade item from me.
I wasn’t crafting when I had tiny babies and can’t help but think I missed out on a whole lot of exciting baby projects. The newborn ‘to-make’ list has been written…Ames, consider yourself warned.

Beautiful! What a lucky baby.
It looks beautiful Kate but I really, really want to see more of that dress.
Utterly divine! I love everything about this piece…the crafty mind that thought it up…the beautiful frenchies & far out the photos. xxxx
Yes, more dress please, the quilt is fabulous but I really want to see that dress!!
That is just GORGEOUS..
Beautiful blankie. I need to make one for my big girl who is off to kinder next year, and I reckon she would love this to bits!
I know what you mean about missing out on baby projects – I have the same feeling about my fist born.
I am sure the new baby in your family will love all your hand made pressies.
That is just lovely (and I agree, would love a closer look at that dress!
That blanket is divine! So cute.
so beautiful
It is really lovely, I bought this book yesterday and this one caught my eye.
What a cute, and simple, little project!!
gosh I love blankies. This ones a winner
Oh good lord! So much better than I had imagined! Stunning Kate. I need to get that book. I keep thinking someone will buy it for me for Chrissy but what if they don't? Ack!
that is just so cute, Kate. I don't have any babies to make it for, but one may come along somewhere, sometime, hey? And I'd need to be prepared…no?
so sweet x
I love this so much Kate!
I love that fairy bread quilt. Great name and fabulous concept. I have a friend who is having a baby in January and that would be a wonderful idea!!
Just beautiful! I love the dress your model is wearing too.
Very beautiful!
I agree, the blanket and the dress are both beyond adorable. And flannel for the backing is a wonderful idea.
(How I wish I had a store like that in my neck of the woods so I could buy linen locally.)
:)
I can't quite get past the exquisite dress either :)
Absolutely beautiful…Great job!
Love the Fairy Bread blankie. I was wondering what you were doing with all those little french knots! :)
I am also totally in love with the little dress that your "model" was wearing!!! Did you make it? It is stunning! (I could totally love wearing something like that).
gorgeous love IT and am fancying some fairy bread now…
It is lovely – looking forward to seeing what else you create.
Miss Pi is soo popular!! I'm off to read the review :-)
Everything is just stunning on that picture, great work!x
I'm with Kate …. the throw is lovely but I must see more of that dress!!!!
Oh I've looked at this project…and now I'm going to make it for sure! Brilliant job…what a lucky little one :)
I know exactly what you mean with the feeling you missed out on newborn craft for your smalls. What's more, the three year old has developed a fierce opinion. Which means that five people are living in this house with Very Different Ideas – none of which seem to align with any of the crafting. GRRRR. Might just make myself some fairy bread.
Such a simple idea, but oh so cute!
That's funny, the first thing that came to mind when I saw your snippet of this was…sprinkles or fairy bread. I have not read Pip's book but it's on my Xmas list. Your cousin will love it for sure.
Just so lovely…I can't wait to have my own copy of the book. Thanks for sharing.
Another voice clammoring for the dress!
Great gift, love the Linen with all those colours- looks beautiful.
I told my sister she needs to hurry up & have babies so I can make things for them!
How super pretty the colours look on the linen. Beautiful!!
this is the project that pulled me into the book…amazing. that dress is breathtaking too.
what a great idea with such a classic look. i am still in complete awe over the lace you used to make that dress….divine!
