A summer weekend

saw a quilt finish...

I'm calling this "Mint Thicket", 

because the panels are from the Thicket range.

 I visited my sister down by the beach to get some 

photos...

Helen makes a great quilt holder!

I did some simple hand quilting around each 

animal....

 I'll be keeping this quilt for a picnic quilt....

because it contains some of Eli's favourite animals.

We are looking forward to using it soon!

I had pieced the back a while ago so it came 

together quickly!

I also used the time to help Helen make this dress....

Vogue pattern #9237 again.

It's such a great pattern and a very easy make!

A very pleasant weekend indeed!

Happy days!

Clothes Sewing

I've recently shared some clothes I have been 

making.

Today I wanted to show how they look when I'm 

wearing them.....

 This was a selfie I set up in my office at work, using 

the timer on my camera.

           

                     I love how this turned out! 

Even if Mr PnP says it 

looks like a patchwork quilt!

I guess that's own of the reasons I loved the fabric

in the first place!

There's nothing that says 'old lady' more than 

chubby elbows!

Yes, I know the shoes are not right but I've also 

decided this one is too long!

 So I have since cut off at least 2 inches from the 

hem and it looks way better!

And look....

I found the perfect sandal too!

Finally, I recently helped my sister make her own

Lacey dress....

This was also made from the Stylearc pattern.

Didn't she do an awesome job?

There was even enough fabric leftover for a top...

from the same pattern, no less!

It has side splits and a spotted watermelon binding 

on the neck.

I have created a separate page for my clothes 

sewing 

if you are interested.

(Patterns are by Vogue and Stylearc)

Happy days!
