Twirly skirt

Here is the new twirly skirt I made for Charlotte to wear to pre-school photos on Monday. I appliqued the t-shirt and luckily you can't see how bad it is in the photos. Luckily I have a red tshirt she can wear although from a distance it doesn't look too bad. Just realised you can't see the tshirt. Here is another photo.

Pants

Another pair of Ingrid's Easy Pants. I love this material it looks like a seersucker although I am sure they don'tcall it that anymore. The vertical stripes make Charlotte look taller and she needs all the help she can get.

Material

Just realised this is not a great photo. Anyway here is what I am doing with this material.
Stripes - I am thinking some more "Easy Pants" for Charlotte.
Flowers/Red - Twirly skirt
Black velvet on the bottom is for our capes for the Harry Potter party.
Underneath the red is some black stretch material that I am going totry and make some maternity pants for myself with. if they don't work I guess I will be using this for softies.
The grey felt and grey underneath that is for softies. I have afew things in mind and need to try some stuff out.

Top

Well I was trying out this idea for a top. Actually a photo I saw from someone else on EB (I think). Just used this material totest it and I was quite happy with it, although the material was prety crappy to sew. I just need to make it a little bigger across the chest when I make the real one.

Cat

Well here's the unlucky cat - pretty sure it has used up about 6 of it's 9 lives. Lucky this picture doesn't show the bad sewing on the legs, tail ears etc.

Owl

I made this owl to send an RSVP to a Harry Potter party. I was quite happy with it and the pocket on the back is to hold the RSVP.

Pants and skirt

Here are the photos of the pants and skirt with Charlotte actually wearing them.

New Sewing

Here is the skirt i have just made for Charlotte. It is my first attempt at sometihng a bit harder than straight lines and I think it worked out quite well. As she has been sick there are no photos of herewearing it as it was too much of a hassle to get her just to try it on for measurements.

Who Said No Sewing

Ok so I know I said no sewing but I whipped up this play mat for the baby this afternoon (staight sewing means I can whip sometihng up). Pretty happy with it.

Easy Pants

Well I made Ingrid's Easy Pants bu turnedthem into a bit hard pants. I cut the pattern out wrong and so they were huge and I had to make adjustments to the width and the top but then to make the crutch in the right spot I had to turn them into 3/4 pants. They actually look ok though for my first attempt at clothing and Charlotte is pretty happy with her "groovy" pants and can't wait for me to make her another pair.

The sewing bug has hit

Well I finally found some time to get the new machine set up. So I started sewing and now I can't stop. So far I have made a runner for our new table. Tne I made 2 cushions for the new lounge. We have just had renovations so we have some new furniture. Now I can't waitto get the pattern from Ingrid and I also need to get back to Spotlight and get some more of the sme fabric to make a cover for a chair.

Material

Well I finally brought some material today.
The pink with flowers is for a skirt for Charlotte.
The camoflague is for the pants from Ingrid's pattern.
The other floral one is for some cushions.
The rest is for baby stuff, probably some wraps and I think the white with the bees is going to be a floor mat with a bright yellow backing.
