I've tried to be more considerate in my sewing related purchases recently. Bizarrely that's also meant buying individual items on Ali Express and I'm not sure I ended up either where I expected to be or wanted to be. However, these were great buys that I wasn't able to buy locally.
Top: multi coloured zips with a big zipper pull. Officially called closed ended resin zippers pull ring ;) e
I got 10 40cm zips for $10.94 NZD from MeeTee Official Store. These were for learning how to use zippers for my little person's quiet book
Bottom left: Adjustable buckles to replace a broken one on BM's trench (which I love!). I ended up mismeasuring the first set and having to buy another lot. But I replaced the buckles at the waist tie and on the cuffs and it looks good. Score as it means the coat stays in circulation longer. On the down side I had to buy lots of 10 so have a tonne of these left over and also had to wait ages for the first set to arrive, realise it was the wrong size and reorder, and wait again. A quick fix when they got here! From Kinoko.
Bottom right: ok this was a late night impulse! Some bias binding in a cute fabric. I've bought some white before and it was of shocking quality. This is good stuff though. $4.66NZD for 1 inch wide and 5m long. From Palmybest store.
I also bought some iron in labels with my little person's name on them. There's a variety of different dinosaurs. In hindsight, I've learnt that naming your child's clothing isn't the safest thing to do as then random people know their names so I'll finish these up and get another set made up with something they will associate with but not give away info about them. These were 84 for $21.55 from L&L-Handmade Store.
I've also purchased a variety of iron embellishments so they'll be popping up at some point...
