March update

 

 This week I had a mini photo shoot with my favourite little model. I will include more photos another time - but for now enjoy the cuteness!

 For the shoot I sewed up the following patterns: Peekaboo Pattern shop's Gentleman's jacket (above),

 2 geranium dresses (above and pink dress 2 below),

 Long bodice with a zipper dress of my own pattern,

Straightgrain's bubble dress pattern and some unrelated sewing....

Some gorgeous little newborn baby pants (pattern by Brindille and Twig and review coming soon)...

Because this week I became an aunty again! I am so in love with this beautiful little soul. I was lucky enough to get some good long cuddles in last weekend. She is such a perfect little person. Her big sister seems pleased and stops to kiss and stroke her new little friend. 

I made a Washi Dress.

Like every other blogger, I believe I am now a Washi Dress addict. I have already made 3 (including the one above).

I have decided I do not like shirring/my bobbin case does not really enjoy shirring so instead I will be using an elastic casing. Works just fine. 

I also like the bodice extended (As visible in this one) to provide enough room for my ample chest (hehe). 

So far I have not made one with pockets as I don't really use pockets in dresses anyway. I cannot wait for my zipper foot to arrive so I can have a go at turning this dress into a fitted dress with a side or back zipper.

Officially hooked.
