Ice cream Dress

I realised that I hadn’t blogged the Oliver + S final dress for the social. It’s the fat quarter of Heather Ross bikes that has been stretched to it’s limits. The strips are just on the front which I sewed first and then used as a template to cut the back out in one piece.

Not sure how creative 64 triangles cut and re-sewn are? These will be the corners on each of the panels for Poppy’s quilt and am just over half done. I have been giving my multi-tasker a huge work out.

This sheer fabric from Tessuti has been waiting its turn for over 12months. I bought a shirt this week that I want to utilise as a template.

Off to Neverland

My cute little Peter Pan in his Mumma made outfit and Caleb made sword,  complete with alfoil jewels for book week. Even his hair suits and he loved it and so easy to make.

Sorry Mum …

… but if that is the worst daughter thing I have done in 32 year that isn’t too bad? Done by the fabulous Holly at Voodoo Ink, should finish healing in 2 weeks, still pretty red and raw now.

Before I went I had to take the kids while I voted – Caleb asked what we were doing – I said deciding who was the boss of the country. Caleb’s reply –” But you are already the boss Mum are you just going so that you can make the speech?”

My Creative Space

I have been crossing lots of unfinished projects off my list and was getting a little excited until I wrote a list of new projects and filled in 3 pages.

Monday is book day at school so one very green Peter Pan outfit for Caleb mid-construction.

While organising summer plans I found this vintage pattern and was thinking of the playsuit - what do you think – is it too babyish for a 3 year old?

And a little hand print action.
