We’re looking for our wonderful knitting community to help us create some tiny handmade essentials for newborn babies.

We are currently seeking:

🩷 Newborn size (0000) cardigans or matinee jackets
🩷 Newborn size (0000) booties

There is no set pattern to follow. Please use a pattern you know, love and feel comfortable knitting.

🚫 𝗡𝗢 𝗕𝗘𝗔𝗡𝗜𝗘𝗦 𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘 - we have plenty, so our current need is specifically for cardigans, matinee jackets and booties.

Every little piece will be lovingly passed on to a newborn who needs it. Whether you can make one item or a whole bundle, we would be incredibly grateful for your help.

Your donations can be delivered to The Sewing Lair Beenleigh or Moorooka, our Lairhouse at Meadowbrook or mailed to

Just completed the ‘Candy Lace Blanket’ and decided to add a Pom-Pom Border.
This takes 5 1/2 balls of Patons Sierra 8ply for the blanket and 1/2 a ball for the border.
On a 4.50mm Crochet Hook.
This Sierra colour is ‘Yellowstone’.
Fun to make this one.
Here’s the link to the Pom-Pom Border tutorial https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B62rMydQxBo&pp=ygUVQm9iYmxlIGNyb2NoZXQgYm9yZGVy&ra=m (Thank you to Bella Coco Crochet).
