Christmas Making...

 

Hey there,  I hope you all had a Happy Christmas, we certainly did !

 

Lots of Christmas making has been going on here over the past two months.....

 

I couldn't resist these gorgeous Christmas prints for Spotlight and made these cute little pillowslip dresses for some little girls who live overseas :).

 

There are absolutely oodles of free patterns all over the web , I didn't even draft a pattern just drew straight onto the wrong side of my fabric...

 

size 2

 

 

size 3

 

 

 

 size 6

 

size 8.....ran out of contrast fabric so was waiting on some more for the tie :)

 

 

 

 

and then a cute little Christmas onesie , cant let the boys miss out !!

I traced the tie pattern off the computer screen , again , heaps of free patterns out there :)

 

 

 

 

then I made some cushions also using these lovely Australian native prints.....I don't usually like Australian fabric... I think they are pretty ugly generally but loved these....also from Spotlight in Furnishings.......

 

 

piped and zipped.......

 

 

 

 

                                                              zippers do my head in......

 

 

                                                                           aaaargh......

 

 

 

 

and then I found this gorgeous set of 3 tea towels and made them into some aprons for me to wear at work and for gifts....

 

 

......this one gave me the idea to make an apron...it had a built in waist band :)

 

 

 

 

I  traced the deer head off the computer and graphed it up....

 

love how it turned out....

 

 

and then i made this tote to gift overseas,  it has a plastic front and made from Melbourne material.... 

 

the blotch in corner is where the iron leaked ((( it dried ok tho.....

 

 

 

 

 first time I have done these adjustable straps and would do them again, they look way more professional :)

 

 

 

I've really enjoyed getting back into the sewing however there has been lots inking, beading and collage happening...next post :)
