I made this skirt in sewing class, it turned out beautifully. I splurged a little on the fabric ( considering I normally but from the bargain table) but it was worth it. Its very much my style.
I made this dress out of scraps in sewing class, but I’m not keen on the colours and it looks a bit like a nightie. DS was happy to put it on for the photo opportunity, but refuses to wear it now. No surprise there.
I made the bulk of this in sewing class and finished it off at home. It turned out very well and fits beautifully, thanks to my teacher who is a dressmaker and drew up a pattern to my measurements. My husband loves it on me too – always a bonus!
I’m doing some rearranging and organising today, which inevitably leads to extra cleaning! Its always worth the effort when its finished though. Hope you’re having a nice day.
I had thought of putting a tutorial up for this, but didn’t really have the time. Its an old coffee tin that I’ll use for craft ribbons and bits & pieces. It took me ages to figure out, but it turned out really well. I love the fabric too, I’m a real sucker for florals!
I’ve just started sewing classes again and finished this off lastnight. The fabric was left over from a bag. Cute huh?
Now, the holiday…….
My husband has time off in November so we decided we desperately need to go away for a few nights. Upon contacting our usual holiday accomodation at our regular destination we find they have raised their prices rather substantially. So, after much brainstorming we came up with the idea of buying a large family tent (we have a tent but its too small for all of us) and hiring a tent site at the caravan park. We have never stayed in a tent with 3 small children so this could be a very interesting experiment. We figure if it works out well we are saving ourselves a lot of money for future holidays by hiring a tent site instead of a cabin or house. Now to find a tent……………..
What a relief! This has been an ongoing project that is now thankfully finished, I just got lazy with it half way through. I didn’t like trying to figure out all the measurements to fit the pieces either (maths is not my strongest point!) Anyway, its pretty and its going in the girl’s room.
Here is what I’ve made for my lovely husband for his birthday in a couple of weeks. He loves to cook on weekends so I think he will like this.
I love making bags!
This one is for my son’s growing collection of action figures!
Do you know this flower? Its a daytura – it is very pretty and has a sweet scent that gets very strong in the evenings. Its also very poisonous!
