In my creative space this week I am working on the teacup dress.
I have finished the scrappy applique, sewn together the dress and now all that's left is some crochet embellishments, a ruffle or two and some crochet ric rac for the hem.
I love making up little dresses like this one, but I also am a bit obsessed at the moment with using up all the little scraps that I have been collecting around the place. It feels wonderful finally to be making use of them and to justify keeping them in the first place.

Isn't it a WONDERFUL feeling, when you make use of fabric from the scrap stash? Especially when you can create something useful AND pretty. Great job.

ReplyDeleteI was at my parents' place on the weekend and my sons slept on sheets identical to that blue / mauve print. I loved them but to boys 7 and 9, they were definitely not cool!!
As a tea drinker I think it is important I have a big version of this dress to wear while I indulge in cuppa action with my mates. I love this image, it makes me want to put the kettle on xo
