Newly aquired Material

Funky Flannel!!  $6.99/mt It is so cute, I am making some Pj's for myself. This will only make some pants, still deciding if I should go back and get some more for the top too! Hmmmm
















New Romance Voile. $3/mts yep you have seen that right! Cheap! I got 5mts to make the Maxi dress that I have been wanting to make for a long time. It will be nice and light for spring/summer can't wait!



















Floral Dobby Poppy! $5/mt bought 2mts. I just loved this material. Don't know what I will make with it yet but it was too cute to pass up.


Now for the finished products!

This was the first project I started just before the school holidays. I made one for Hannah and her cousin Sarah. Very cute! It was also the first time that I had done box pleats.









Hannah's cord dress also had some box pleats in it but as I had already made the above skirt twice already it didn't seem as hard. The bodice though had 7 panels to it, but overall a great dress. It will look great with tights and boots!

These two tops below I finished yesterday! It was a very simple pattern, the only thing is the sleeves were a bit time consuming. Overall I like how they turned out and now have some more tops to wear (with sleeves).

Sorry it has been a while

Well the school holidays are almost over. We don't go back till Wednesday so a couple more days! I have been real busy over the holidays not a lot of sewing but I have managed to get a few things sewn. I will have to post the pictures later as we finally got that new camera battery yay!!!
I have done tow box pleat skirts one for Hannah and her cousin Sarah. A cute winter cord dress for Hannah and have nearly finished two tops for me. More from me later
