If it looks like an old sheet....

then in our house it probably is, I made this skirt for P from a 70's sheet I found at the Op Shop - ooooh the cotton is gorge-ass to work with! This is my favourite style skirt at the mo, sits just past the knee and is elasticated at the back, really girly and full.

Long time no blog. My camera is crap or I'm a crap photographer so I've been put off the blog. I've been thinking about teaching Miss P to sew soon, she's 3 and a bit, then i realised that whenever I sew anything by hand I swear, and I'm not talking gently expletives, it's when I stick myself with a needle or pin, doesn't really conjour up the most motherly sight I know, but I sew and swear alone!

Speaking of the P, she has been doing the wackiest pictures of late, these big heads with eyes, and sticks jutting out for arms and legs (no body at all, but hair!) I love them, so here is one to share.

Another piece of fabric that I'm waiting for....it's a waffle weave - which I just love, like an Autumn version of seersucker!

Watch this space....

this fabric and the pattern below.... that's the plan ... will take some pics when they arrive, and the dress/top is made .....

I found these cute Golden Books for 50 cents each, well worth $2.00, just for the pictures alone, I adore the illustrations, but find the text really dated and a bit cumbersome to read, quite tempted to cut these up and make my own story line with the pictures.

Goodies finally arrived from Austen G in Canada. Love this pinni, and the soft pillow for Miss P is a big hit. I've always wanted a personlised diary, and this one is great because it has no lines, so I can do some doodles to illustrate how I'm feeling, much better sometimes! Thanks Austen - oh and not sure what the sweets were - some kind of Canadian thing??
