i'm on a roll...




a tshirt (for jammies) for ryan. made from some cute helicopter print knit (unfortunately a poly/cotton blend rather than straight cotton). he kept bugging me til i'd finished it and then put it straight on LOL i used a knitwit pattern from the late 80's which was so simple and just perfect.

the other is a vintage dress pattern made up for emelia. ufnrotunately it's too big :( but she is happy to wear it anyway (she is off dresses atm, so i was actually trying to make a pinafore LOL). i ADORE this fabric, which i got at spotlight in the sale. it was in the catalogue the week before and i wanted to go to solely get this fabric, but i love it even more in RL. i'm so glad i bought a whole 2m of it! i also made a matching headband which was totally fiddly, i think i must have done it the wrong way...

ps: dh has just redone my puter so i don't have a graphics program on it to resize the photos - so be warned if you click for a larger image they will be HUGE!!!

oh and of course blogger WON'T rotate the photos when i need them done!

Rory's Retro Romper!

the past few months have been crazy busy and also with illness :o( but at last i got to sew! geoff is on hols now in the xmas - new year public servant shutdown so i have just claimed some sewing time! of course i didn't actually plan to make something which took a day and a half but anyway....
This gorgeous romper (i am SOOOOO pleased with it!) is design #4 from Ottobre 2/2005. I havne't tried it on Rory yet so i hope it fits the little madam lol

ok, she has it on, it JUST fits (she'll be wearing it a LOT in the next month LOL) and i've got photos which I will upload after dinner...
