Finally have some photos

So we are off to Great Yarmouth soon with Ashley, Sophie and Eva, so have been busy making a few things for Eva.

A jumpsuit for myself and enough fabric left to make one for mini-me! I love this fabric, so easy to make and so comfortable to wear.

This is the hand painted butterfly fabric I purchased from Minerva fabrics. It's so gorgeous and a dream to sew with.

This is the cupcake fabric Eva chose. I had to line the top and the shorts as they were a bit see through, but it made for a nice finish. I also made a gathered skirt from the same fabric that she can mix and match with the top

Great little outfit for holidays.

 Wonder why I bother though when I managed to pick this little number up from Asda in their sale a couple of weeks ago for two pounds lol. Be back soon hopefully with some scrapbooking.

Little bits of creativity

Hello there, it's been a while but I have been busy. Several cards birthdays, wedding golden wedding recently, even a diamond wedding, I don't seem to have many pictures of them all.

I have been busy doing some sewing and have treated myself to a brother overlocker, I'm in love I think. I have done a couple of tshirt so for Eva and a pair of pedal pushers, a top for myself and a plain black top for Jamie. 

A few weeks ago Eva stayed over and I let her choose her own fabric to make her some dresses

Strawberries and cup cakes. I chose the butterfly fabric it's gorgeous and hand painted and is a work in progress. The strawberry one made up beautifully.

A few weeks ago I decided to alter a really oversized cardigan that my mum knitted for me a few years ago, I really didn't want to throw it out but knew I wouldn't wear it anymore as it was.

It was rather large but now - 

Anyone recognise the flower braid, taken from my scrapbooking stash. Lol be back soon to show you the butterfly dress and anything else I get done for my holidays.

Fifties dress

Well it's only taken a year but finally finished this dress that has been on the dummy so long. I don't know if you remember but I bought the pattern from a charity shop in Brixham, sent for the fabric from Minerva fabrics and cut it all out. Had so many problems with the black sections across the bust area. They have been taken off so many times. Then the shoulder bits didn't fit so I waited until I visited my sister so that she could fit it for me. I did bound buttonholes with the black fabric and covered the buttons. Think I'm finally happy with it. Just going to put the pattern and fabric away and and cut out a pair of trousers for myself.
