My sewing space ! aka the laundry

Ive finally got my "horny" cabinet its all moved in to the laundry - just have to rearrange a few things and get a nice tall laundry basket or something that doesnt take up so much room - and get it a bit tidier and more organised. Besides all that Im just pleased i have my "own" space yay

More yo yo's

Ive been making Yo yo's all around the house lol , got some simple singlets and sew them on and you have made a cool summer top for some shorts or skirt. Go the YO YO !

HABI SWAP HAPPINESS

Well here I go, Ive managed to get a photo in the two tops I made, theyre ok for around ! Not sure where I will wear them, the white one bit short. And my 4 yold photographer took the skirt piccie.

Amy Butler Wildflowers skirt - Pattern New Look 6190

My Amy Butler Wildflowers first attempt at a skirt for myself - perhaps i shouldnt have cut into the "good" material but its done now. Its wearable not perfect but fits well!

My excuse for not sewing so much in Summer

Meet Charlotte , the diver, the pretend crocodile, the swimmer, the snorkeller, the fish !

She would rather be wet than dry !

my dodgy first top for myself

HA! this top looks terrible in the pic but its okay on , could have been a bit longer but Ive actually worn it in public and its nice and cool - and i learnt lots while making it ....
