Elfing

Been busy today, to finish of one of the gifts, I had planned to make, a dress from Anna Maria Horner's book, which I thought looked just way too cute.

This is the finished dress, it's just so cute and goes to an equally cute girl :)

Crafting Weekend

After I was so busy during the last few weekends, I decided that this weekend was just there for relaxing. The ipod on listening to music, baking, and enjoying a cup of tea with my mom in the afternoon, some knitting (the result will be shown soon), some nice walks out in the countryside with the dogs and some holiday sewing for some gifts. How better could I have spend a cold and at times rainy weekend...

As for presents, even if those who will get the presents might read this, I still show what I made... I had this gorgeous fabric that I thought would be great in the quick change trousers and the results speak for themselves. I showed my mom and she thought it's so cute and to be honest, I nearly kept it but I figured since I have some more of the fabric, I can do a second pair :)

Fabrics

it's really early in the morning, I have been up since about 7am despite not going to bed till nearly midnight. I have been reading 'Dear Me' letters until now and cleaned the kitchen. I am off to Warwick later on today and not be back before tomorrow afternoon.

I just had a parcel from Fabric Dreams has just been delivered. All new fabrics for me to sew with. I am so looking forward to it and can't wait to get started on some projects. 

 

Quick change trousers

A few weeks ago I bought the book Handmade Beginnings, today I decided to try my hand at the quick change trousers for toddlers. I had a lot of fun and it was the first swewing project I did. It turned out pretty good and I will keep them for my own baby that I will have one day.
