FINISHED EB Doll Quilt Swap Quilt

Yeah, after some early frustrations with my binding and after doing a lot of unpicking...I am finally happy with my little dolls quilt, it is all ready to be posted off very soon..

Here are some more pictures hoping not to give too much away but trying to get some feedback on how the binding looks now....yes the pics are awful as I had to turn the flash off or they were just reflecting back white light....

The first photo is of the quilt being tested for its purpose, for use by a gorgeous little girls dolly. The next are some close ups of the binding front and back. I hope it is well liked.

EB Doll Quilt Swap

It has been a little while since I have been able to do any sewing as I have been rather busy with study and life in general however, last month I signed up to take part in the EB Doll Quilt Swap so I have finally made a start and tonight have finished my top layer of the quilt.

The rules of the swap allow me only to provide a sneek peek until opening day which isnt until the first week of november so here is my first sneek peek photo.

This is the first quilt I have ever made and I have to say that I am quiet pleased with how it is turning out so far and I think that it will be quiet cute for its intended purpose for my recipient who at moment must remain a secret... so here is the sneek peek, Enjoy!

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.
