Evening ladies and gents,boys and girls.....well this week has been a catalogue of disasters to be honest...my knitting machine fell on my foot this morning....my clamps had bent beyond repair...my middle son has been a bit silly this week too....but thats really another story to be told somewhere else....
Well this week has been a bit up and down and i have had my sewing machine out once this week.....My mother -in -law gave me a shed load of vintage sheets with some lovely patterns on them......i decided that i wanted to turn them into little girls sun dresses...and i duly had a play and made two of them......i made one with a shirt type top and one as a tie top...and i even had time to make my own bias binding...it was all going brilliantly...and i felt on top of the world!!!!
Then this week on thuresday my mother in law rang and asked me if i would mind making the girlies some dresses for their up and coming holiday.....i knew i had these two in stock so i asked her how old the girlies were,i was in luck!!!!one of them is 6 months old and the other is 3...i knew the dresses would fit beautifully.....i packed them up after pressing them,popped them into a bag...and away they went....it wasn't until i checked to day i realised that i hadn't taken a picture of my first dress i made with the vintage sheets.....gutted much!!!!!anyway i'm going to make some more today ready to sell....so i will be taking photo's....i managed to acess a very helpful lady on youtube called aurora's garden...she's been the most helpful person i've ever encountered...she's shown me how to smock with a sewing machine...brilliant!!!!!now the worlds my oyster and now i can get on and do the one thing i have always wanted to do and make myself a dress with spaghetti straps for wearing in the sun....I am well pleased,and can't wait to get going on this one....AND I WON'T FORGET TO TAKE FLIPPING PICTURES!!!!
