Bits and Pieces


Charlotte's Quilt, Coming together slowly, I have made sooooooo many mistakes on this quilt, all of them to do with seam allowance. But it will still look O.k.

My Hexy Blanky, is coming along too. I am really loving the colours in this (blue, pink, green and white, the photo's not great!)


I started making Laura a twirly skirt and jacket, before winter, Last year, and as you can imagine, there was no way it would of fit her this year!, so a bit of cutting here, a bit of sewing there, and Voila! a warm winter dress!


I used bias binding around the neckline and in the armholes, and added a cord Yo-yo to the front, actually the whole dress is nice fine cord from spotlight. Most importantly Laura absolutely loves it!! She nagged me the whole time I was sewing, because she wanted to wear it and do "ballet" lol!

  2. I love the quilt already, just based on the quilt top. You are using one of my favourite fabrics - Farmers Market.

    I think the dress looks fantastic! Great save of the fabric.
