Bits n' bobs n' baby britches

Just a quickie to show you a couple of bits n' bobs acquired & made recently.

I went to the lovely Mathilda's Market on the weekend (purely for research purposes you understand!) but couldn't resist just a few teensie purchases.  The onesie/jumpsuit with tree applique is in a supersoft organic cotton from Diggadello and you can also see some very cute hair ties and clip from Lottielulu (packaged in the most gorgeous little handmade envelope with a vintage image of children cooking). 

It was lovely to meet Ingrid and Cass (of Snailblazer) and to see their fabulous stall - very successful by all accounts.  Ingrid's recent post shows some beautiful pics from the day.

I made the baby pants myself (to go with the onesie) from Simplicity 3765.  This pattern has everything but the kitchen sink in it (including boys and girls tops, shorts, hats, stroller bag etc.)  Of course, like a bull at a gate, I charged ahead and made the XS size pants which, lets just say, did not cover Miss Wink's ample behind + nappy.  Hence the addition of a top band to add some extra room. Sorted!

Very cute stuff.
I meant to get to Mathilda's Market on Sunday but just didn't make it.
Glad you had fun.

How clever you are Marina to add the top band, I'm afraid if it was me they would sit in a pile in my sewing room waiting for something to be done with them - and they probably years later would be tossed in my scrap bag!

Hello!
I am wondering if you can tell me what book the little pic comes from in these pictures? I can remember seeing the pics as a little kid but cannot for the life of me remember the book!!!
