Weekend sewing.

Well hello there!

Are you having a lovely weekend? I hope so.

I've been having a pretty quiet weekend with the two little girls while Bren has been in Melbourne and Indi has been spending the whole weekend at a friend's house.

Late Friday night when they were asleep and the house was way too quiet, (after I had dealt with the biggest spider you have ever seen, hmmm country living...), I thought I'd make them each a colourful piece of clothing. A top for Jazzy to wear over leggings and some pants for Pepper.

In the morning the top looked awful on Jazzy, too loose in places and too tight in others, so instead of fixing it I cut two strips off the back.

It fits Pepper but is a bit gapey in the armholes.

The pants were more successful.

I made them from a sheet given to me by the lovely SusieQ and some lace that I bought in a bag of scraps from a garage sale a few months back.

Don't worry, she only wore the top with the pants for the photo. I wouldn't let her leave the house looking like a floral bed sheet explosion.

I'm off now to pack some crochet stuff in a bag and head down to the farm stall.

I hope you are having a fabulous weekend! XX

p.s.. In breaking news; Pepper just did her first ever, non assisted, solo somersault!!

  8. I love those little floral pants, how super cute. I am sure no-one would say she looks too florally in that outfit together! Yay for doing the first somersault too, how fantastic. You sound a little bit more relaxed today Kate, hope the crafting and the new blackboard are helping.

  27. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this
    matter to be actually something that I think I would never
    understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me.
    I'm looking forward for your next post, I'll try to get the hang of it!

  28. I think everything said made a ton of sense. However, think about
    this, suppose you typed a catchier title? I ain't saying your content is not good., however what if you added a title that makes people want more? I mean "Weekend sewing." is kinda vanilla. You ought to glance at Yahoo's home page and see how they write article titles to
    grab people to open the links. You might add a related
    video or a picture or two to get people interested about what you've got to say. In my opinion, it might bring your posts a little livelier.

Thanks so much for stopping by...

I do read every single comment you leave and appreciate it very much, but I should let you know that I can be a wee bit on the useless side when replying to comments, that's just me, everyday life sometimes gets in the way....so I'll apologise now, just in case.
