Six weeks to Christmas

Lil C is getting into the Christmas spirit. You can too, here!

Brag post – Look what I did!

Tuxedo Dress

Here is Lil’ C in her new Tuxedo Party dress – bring on the birthdays we say!

Mesmerised by the Night Garden

A most productive week

For some reason this week I’ve been on a roll – three pairs of bloomers and the finishing touches to a new prototype trapeze dress that has been lying around for about two weeks waiting for some buttons and slip stitching to it’s lining. It still needs some satin or grosgrain ribbon around them hem – I’m waiting for my trip to the Gardams sale to stock up.

The red and white bloomers are a special order for a Birthday Girl, Miss A. Her wardrobe is strictly colour coordinated, so red, white, black or pink were our only options! Hopefully spots and hearts won’t be too loud.

It is third timelucky with these new summery shorts – using more of the fabric leftover from Lil C’s birthday frock. (I don’t think we’ll be wearing them together though)

Spring flowers and red ribbons

They’re still a little big around the leg, but a vast improvement on the blue ladybug test case, and the shiny black pair with pinstripe borders that haven’t even been finished because I botched them so royally. One day I’ll unpick them…..

Next up: more shorts, finishing the tiered skirt, and a photo of Lil C’s party dress for Miss A’s celebrations next weekend.
