Some Bits and Pieces

Finally how exciting, Weekend Sewing by Heather Ross has arrived!! So many lovely things to sew.

I had a quick trip the the Op Shop and found some fab fabrics to use.

I bought 3 metres of this vinrtage flowery goodness for $1, and i am going to make some PJs out of it so i stop having to steal my husbands undies to wear to bed (they are comfortale!).

I bought 2 metres of a stripey crepe fabric for $1 that i am going to try and make the sundress out of, I will probably shorten it to a top though. For some reason if I wear dress like that with out shapeing at the waist I end up looking like I am wearing a sack.


I also got some pink cordoury and some cute bunny fabric too. I might try and make the Flower Girl dress out of this, not sure yet.
I also purchase some beautiful batik style fabric as well, to create my art for the swap at 6 o'clock Stitch, which is a Spring time swap . I need to create something 8" x 10", that includes Yellow and Red. I am going to try and make a quilted sunrise scene with hills and water. Should be interesting!

Congratualtions, Katy and Bella!

Hope all that training paid off!

Have you sewn any bandanas for the puppy yet? Do dogs down-under wear bandanas around their necks? They're really cute; google it :)
