Spring Green

That's the best description I can think of for the colour of the top, it's really nice and bright without being harsh. Chloe first chose to wear it yesterday for our trip to London with a dark navy denim skirt with navy and white polka dot details.

Super Stripes

Isn't it always the way that Chloe grows out of her winter clothes before we've said goodbye to the winter weather? I thought this top was perfect for now, spring, or even a cool summer day in its candy colours.

Finished

After another busy morning of pining, stitching, trimming and pressing I've finished it...

I hope Chloe likes the result when she comes home from school this afternoon!

All Square

...And I'm very pleased that they are.....all square that is!  Chloe has really felt the cold this winter, so I decided to make a quilt for her bed that will go with her two different pink polka dot duvet covers. After an afternoon of lots of very careful cutting, stitching and pressing I finished the patchwork part just in time to hide it before going to collect Chloe from school. Hopefully it will be ready for the weekend.

Seeing Squares

I made a few patchwork bags last year as presents and liked them all, so decided to make one for myself, and after a morning of cutting,stitching and pressing mine was ready for it's first outing.....

Roxy Duo

It doesn't usually take me 4 days to make a dress, but given I decided to pretty much make my own pattern as I went along, this one did, but after all the hicups and alterations I'm pleased with the result, and so is Chloe.

Polka Dots

Did I say I didn't do black?....but with lots of pink polka dots I rather like it! Chloe's latest outfit is a reversible balloon skirt, a 'peacock' top and mademoiselle bag and corsage flower brooch.
