Hope you like it....

As my swap partner has now received her bag...here is a picture of what I sent her...I was a little worried about the bag being simple in design so I also included a couple of little surprises for her...a lovely kimono doll pen, diary planner and a smelly satchet, hope you like it.

A Birthday Gift

I made this cute little chef's outfit as a birthday present for a close friends daughters 4th birthday...we added in some gorgeous pink cooking utensils and a packet of fairy cake mix with sprinkles....

This is a photo of my youngest daughter modelling it for me....

Mermaid Costume for Kindy

My twins had a Fancy Dress Day at Kindy today so I thought I would finally make Abbie her Little Mermaid Costume that I had planned to do for sometime....

She loves it especially the tail and I think she looks so cute....she loves her little stars on her little top....shame it is in winter though, so this little Ariel had to wear tights and a long sleeve shirt as well..

There is also a little pic of her Superman Hero who promised Mummy he would scare all the "badies" away today from Ariel because he loves her.....Precious!

Excuse the loose threads on the skirt...I only noticed them after I took the photos.

EB Sewing Swap - June 2009

I am taking part in my very first EB Sewing Swap. The idea is to make a bag for someone you dont know using some of their personal preferences with colour etc... and post it off. In return someone who I dont know, will make one for me.

The opening date of the parcels is the 10th July so until that date I cant show a photo of the finished product but here is a sneak peak which is allowed.

I love the colours in this bag, I just hope my swap partner loves it as well.

Mothers Day Gifts

For mothers day this year I made my mother a PVC coated tote bag. I put a clear pvc on the outside of the material as she goes to the beach a fair bit and thought that she would be able to put it down on the sand without it getting wet and could then be wiped clean easily...she also uses it daily to carry their mail and some groceries in....Hope you like it mum.

A Special Outfit for a Special Girl

For my youngest daughters 4th Birthday I made her a new outfit for her birthday party...

I made the skirt as part of the EB Monthly Challenge and bought the long sleeve top and embellished it.
