I used my lovely new fabric...and I LOVE IT!!!

Using the Sienna dress pattern, which I just adore, I made Sophie another dress. This pattern is so versatile and the instructions are fantastic. It's so easy to make a simple dress, or to change it around and do a little of your own thing with it too.  
Little monkey WOULD NOT sit still for a shot. She's such a busy bee. I sat her on Adam's little chair to try and contain her but she thought it would be great fun to slide on and off, so apologies for a rubbish picture :)
I made this tee-shirt for Adam using one of his old ones as a template and thanks to the above pattern I can now make very pretty tee-shirt neck lines...I wish I had been smart enough to work it out by myself

I used a stencil from lilblueblue and freezer paper stencilled the design onto the front. Adam loves this tee, he didn't take it off for four days straight. I know...that's really gross, but it was the school holidays and erm that's all I've got.

He looks so sad in the picture, and that's because he is. He was watching Free Willy with his Dad and took the whole thing very seriously. So sweet!

FABRIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCC!!!!!

Ok, I try my best to use secondhand clothing and fabrics or use up my stash, when I'm making clothing. But occassionally I buy new and ooooh my goodnesssssss.

http://hawthornethreads.com/fabric/designer/patty_young/designer_knits have a new selection of designer knits. I love them, love them, love them. I can't wait for my package to arrive.

I bought this...

and this....and thissssss...

and thisssss! I love them and I wanted them all but I think I was fairly restrained considering I have NEVER been able to find knit fabric that didn't look like jamies....Can't wait to play with them :)
