This is a cute project to do with the kids for styling in their bedroom. This is a hack for the kids to make their own little lion cub cushion.

Swan cushion

February 25, 2018April 28, 2018 noblecubs

I am making habit of having long breaks between posts and I do apologise! Hopefully it's not the way it will always be. When I saw the sneak peeks of the new issue of One Thimble (Issue 18), I knew I  wanted to combine the gorgeous swan clip tutorial with the Moon face cushion. My… Continue reading Swan cushion

It has been forever since I've shared a hack with you! 3 months to be exact. This one is a goodie and loved by boys and girls alike. I've been making these for years, since my now 7 year old was 2! They are still a favourite. I have 3 different versions to share with… Continue reading Super Hero Cape and Cuffs Add-on

Button up hack for the Makana Mermaid Skirt

September 19, 2017 noblecubs

When I tested the Makana Mermaid skirt by Tadah Patterns for Issue 16 of One Thimble magazine (this is an affiliate link), I knew that both my girls would love to dress up and be matching. The pattern begins at size 2 but seeing that my Miss 1 is in size 1 with a similar waist… Continue reading Button up hack for the Makana Mermaid Skirt

Tidy overlocking on bag pocket

July 20, 2017July 20, 2017 noblecubs

Who else loves tidy inside seams on their garments? I love to tidy up my inside seams with an overlocker and usually the ends are encased in other seams, keeping them tidy. When you have a bag pocket however, there is the seam at the end of the pocket (towards the crotch of the pants)… Continue reading Tidy overlocking on bag pocket

Adding ruffles (and other frilly bits) to a romper

January 29, 2017September 22, 2017 noblecubs

I had so much fun adding ruffles to my baby girl's 1st birthday romper, I thought I'd share. This romper was the Baby Tea Party by Tadah patterns, I've also used the same method to add ruffles to the Melbourne Romper by Jilly Atlanta (featured in One Thimble). Both are size 0/ 9-12 months. The… Continue reading Adding ruffles (and other frilly bits) to a romper

Jaunty Dress into a Tee hack (Tadah Patterns)

October 27, 2016January 1, 2017 noblecubs

I was lucky enough to test the new Jaunty Dress by Tadah Patterns. It is a lovely simple, yet stylish design, made for knit. I loved the shape of the bodice and the options such as a flutter sleeve, so decided to use this as a base for a feminine tee for my daughter. Before I begin, you… Continue reading Jaunty Dress into a Tee hack (Tadah Patterns)

This week I made my nephew a present for his first birthday, a critter balloon ball. To do this, I mashed 2 patterns together. The first was the cute 'Roly Poly Critter Ball' by Swoodson Says. It's also available in One Thimble, Issue 11, which is where I got my copy from. I made him… Continue reading Critter balloon ball mash

What we’re about

The Noble Cubs philosophy is all about #digifreeplay. I'm always coming up with new ideas and while some of these are available through my store, including my original colouring mats & tutorial, I would love to share tutorials right here with you. I also sew clothing for myself and the children in my life (including my own 3 cubs) and will share my hacks I use with you also.
