I'm back!

It has been a while in between posts, but I have good excuses! The holidays disappeared as they always do way too quickly. It was so good to get away to Darwin for a little bit even though I missed my family!
When I arrived home, some patterns that I had ordered before I left were waiting for me. For the first time, I am going to try to make some clothes for me! My Grandma recently gave me an overlocker so I am hoping to gain more confidence in sewing clothes... A very exciting prospect. Thanks Gran!

Here are the patterns
A sneak peak at my first attempt at a dress for me. Loving the grey and mustard combo atm
This week, I made a pretty skirt for our little friend who is turning 2 soon. Love the apple fabric-


Anyone could make this skirt. It is just 2 rectangles sewn together at the sides with a strip of green added and hemmed at the bottom. Press the top of the rectangle over, stitch and insert some elastic. Easy!

Stay tuned for my finished dress soon.
