Sewing photos

Yeah finally I am posting some pictures and it is an ungodly hour for me to be awake but I had a terrible dream so shot out of bed turned every light switch on that I passed & 2 tv’s & internet and pc’s had to turn pc’s on cause that is where all my friends are….

P1060046this jumble mess is a bag of zips I got from the local oppe for $1-I thought it would not hurt at that price to grab them as I seem to be getting back into sewing clothes lately and I just never know when I might need a zip.

Recently this The Oz Material Girls Pattern Shop had a special on , so I thought what better way to try some clothing  pdf patterns out. This one was a Fuddie Duddies-The Fuddie Duds Pant 3 length's in 1 pattern boys & girls great size range in the one pattern 6mnths to size 8.

I enjoyed making all these toddler boxer shorts that will cover the behinds of 5 different children, lucky little tykes if’n I do say so myself.

The little pinafore was so so easy fantastic pattern..I so wanted to see how good the pattern was I just quickly pulled some fabrics and made it up in a flash (ok 2 hours). Then ½ hour another night for the button holes..pattern from the same place and by Nanoo Designs..

Both these patterns were super easy to follow..

Oh and last photo for this post is my cover I made for Tabby..

Some pwetty fabric I found in the scrap bin @ Spotlight, and one of the crochet flowers I got in my advent swap from Julie and a gorgeous Riley Blake button for bling…

Tada the view when it is open..object here being that I wanted padding for the screen so that’s why I made it fold over upon itself.

I am endeavouring to get back to doing a blog post at least once a week.

time has just whooshed me by

I have been amiss in updating my blog…no particular reason why.

I’ve been unable to do much hand sewing which has annoyed me big time, as I was so enjoying my Some Kind of Wonderful project..it is still wonderful but just happening very slowly..have you seen the many variations on the blog they are awesome..

Managed to sew & quilt a table runner for a friend and now have the binding –yuk yuk – to do..

Hubby and I went out to buy some timber (my idea) on Sat, we he detoured and we ended up @ WOW Sight & Sound-who are in the hands of receivership..there was many bargains but nope didn’t really need them ..hubby did get me a Toshiba 7” tablet..whom I have called “Tabby” ..I have been wanting an e reader for awhile but just could not seem to find one that said pick me..so now I have a wonderful tablet & reader all in one and we are getting along just fine…Hahaha to hubby who had a secret mission to spend all funds before we got to the timber yard—it didn’t work , we then went and bought the timber…

I made Tabby a pretty cover..but alas batteries are dead in camera and I can’t find the lead..so I will do a picture post real soon..

Cheers for now
