My sister-in-law loved the birthsampler and the play cloth.

Here is a picture of the play coth
In my play coth for Noah I have used for stuffing fiberfill (I don't know if it is Englisch, I don't know what it is could in Englisch), but after a few times in the washing machine, it got thinner.

So for this play coth I was looking for something else, I have bought a blanket that I sew on measure of the play coth. Put a zipper in and done was the job.

When Adam is a bit older he can play on it.

From my mother-in-law I got this lovely polo t-shirt:

For the birth celebration for Adam I made a trouser fot Noah so he can ware it with this polo t-shirt.

Here is a picture of the trousers, I love it, it's a nice pattern.

I like the little fold for the knee.
It's a little big, but than he can ware it whole the summer.

Now the ABC of Cars, it's making progress, I let a picture see this week.

Enjoys the lovely weather a happy stitching.
