Winter Wrapped Up

Chloe asked if she could have a smart but warm winter coat this year and having looked in lots of shops we couldn't find what we were looking for, so I started to think about making her one, as it's something I've always wanted to try doing. We then found the perfect fabric, all that was left was the perfect pattern. In the end I chose a Simplicity Project Runway pattern and modified it (just a little) to give all the details I wanted. Chloe loves her new coat, but now the weather has warmed up a bit, she'll have to wait a bit longer to wear it!

Malibu

This Farbenmix pattern has been on my wish to sew list all summer, but I wasn't sure about it as a summer dress, so decided to wait for autumn. I've made it in Finkenwerder fine cord from Dots n Stripes and underneath is a twisted sleeves top in navy cotton jersey from the Spring 2012 Issue of Ottobre Design. I'm looking forward to seeing Chloe in in this autumn...

Tops Too

For Chloe this time...

To add to my wardrobe....

Some more sun please...

...so Chloe can wear her latest summer dress.

Citrus Splash

I've always loved purple and lime green, so couldn't resist making a skirt in this patterned cotton!

The King of Bags

Taken from the Farbenmix "Taschenspieler" CD I made the "Konig" bag at 90% of it's original size, and I love the result. I hope Chloe will too when she returns from her seaside holiday!
