The tiniest quilt

I'm starting to get excited about Sew It Together coming up in a couple of months.

Sheridan has done an amazing job organising all the logistics and some amazing sponsors.

And Gypsy has organised a name-tag swap. Fun!!!

In the 'sewing' spirit of things, I have made my secret partner a tiny little quilt to use as her name tag.
Complete with mitred binding and everything!!


The name has been obscured to keep my partner in the dark.


For the letter stitching, I used Kirsty's stem stitch technique.


With a safety pin fastener at the back.

So very tiny but lots of fun to make.

Hope you like it  %$^*&&#.

Happy Birthday Charlie

I first saw this design at Tanya's.
Original tutorial can be found here.
I made a few minor modifications but the basic process is the same.

Looking for love

Someone I care about is looking for a new relationship.

Thought I'd make her something to use as a looking-for-love-notebook.

T-shirt dresses

I bought some plain T-shirts for Ella from Target recently.

Then I found this tutorial and voila!!

 

An Autumn weight dress for Ella using some yummy voile.

Then I had a go at a non-gathered version using some el-cheapo stretch fabric from here.




A little ric rac added and I suspect we will have one very happy little camper!

How are you going with your change-of-season wardrobes?
