Little Princess slippers......

I did it.... I made a fully lined pair of little Princess slippers, complete with a pearl centred rosette and suede leather sole.

I knew it couldn't be too hard..... but getting ones mind around the process when you don't have instructions can be a little daunting.

What do you think?   Not bad hey?

Avast Me Hearties!

I've been busily making some pirate patches today for Candy Soiree's. 

Here is a similar photo of what I've made.

Made using black cotton drill and interfacing plus lengths of black elastic.

These little ones will be heading to a little persons pirate birthday party very soon.

Valentine's Day is Everyday to me.....

Happy Valentine's Day today....

But don't wait until Valentine's Day to tell that special someone that you love them.

So, I'm thinking this will be the Birthday invitations....

A little bit vintage... a little bit French?

Oui?

I've been finding an assortment of inspiration and will share.

So exciting!!

1st Birthdays

My daughter will be celebrating her first birthday soon and in between sewing yummy things, I'm busily planning her special day and I mean e v e r y t h i n g... I'm making her birthday outfit, and doing the catering myself as well as the decorating.  Planning invitations in the next few days... eeeek.... (I have 10 days and counting)

Here is Sophia, 2 weeks of age.  xxxx

This is one of the little dresses I've made for my two daughters.

It isn't the best photograph so I do apologise for that.

I love making this style.  I can almost make them with my eyes closed now LOL.

They're so easy to wear and launder (which is a huge plus when you have washing for 7 children).

Feel free to let me know what you think.  :)
