Coat and more.

  I am busy sewing my winter coat, I thought the cat has one why not me. In reality thou I have been promising myself to sew a wool coat the way a want it.  I still have no camera so imagine for a few seconds Black (felted) wool that is medium thickness and a green and white stripe cotton lining and some green top stitching, I have put on a back yoke, and just one front yoke for something different.

Now for my picture of the day, it is a sweet little dress I made for my niece for her 3rd birthday.

The embroidery was a little hard to sew thru so it took awhile to sew the arms and neck by hand, the end result was worth it.

Little People Dresses

I am off to Hamilton in 2 days, very excitied as I get to spend time with my brothers family. I don't get to see them much so when I do it is a special time.  So after making all the dresses for christmas I really wanted to give them one, so I download the copy of the summer dress Corrie from RetroMummy posted on her blog and hey presto I have two new little dresses. They are matching in a way I have used both fabrics for each dress.

I also added a little hand sewing on Sophia's dress as it was quite plain I thought it could use some detail.  Anyway off to bake as the cupcakes I made this morning turned into little volancoes halfway thru cooking, and as I make these all the time I was gutted.  Michael was pleased as he now gets to eat the
whole lot.
