Spring has sprung...

It's a lovely spring day today...made me break out the spring fabrics!

This cute little outfit was made from two 1/2 yards of fabric that contrast nicely, I added a small band of the top fabric to the bottom of the skirt.

Pretty in pink....

Another style of wrap over dress, this one has waist ties with a button detail and is made in the prettiest pink with daisy pattern fabric.

Toddler's cutie...

I had just a small amount of this cute Winnie the Pooh cotton fabric, but it was enough to make this retro styled pinafore in a toddler size!

All wrapped up...

A new design completed. This little wrapover dress is made in a gorgeous daisy cotton print and a plain cotton blend. It has a lined top and panelled skirt and fastens at the side with a pretty bow. The deep hem and front ties give it plenty of growing room!

Halloween Cutie...

It's amazing what can be created from left over fabrics...this cute little witches dress is now in my Etsy shop...or you can buy direct from me if you prefer.

I love period dramas...the Jane Austen ones are my favourites and I've been wanting to make some dresses in this style for ages. This is my first (hopefully I'll get to do more as I really enjoyed making this one), it's typical regency style and it's now available from my ETSY shop!

Lyrical dress

I had a lot of chiffon fabric pieces left over from some
ballroom dresses so I have put them to use in this
gorgeous lyrical dress. They were already almost the right shape, so it didn't take much time to trim them and edge them and add the simple style lycra bodice. This multi toned chiffon looks beautiful when it moves, there are 21 panels in three layers, the top two layers are open panels, the bottom layer is sewn into a skirt.
You can find this dress in my Folksy shop.

The finished dress...

...And here is the finished result, it turned out quite well considering she changed her mind on the style several times after I had started it and then pointed out she was doing me a favour as I would come across much more difficult customers than her, HA I don't think so!
