derby!

At the moment I dont have anywhere to sew in our new house, occasionally set up on the coffee table but the back doesn't like that much, so until I get a new kitchen and an extra room I wont be doing much! :(
BUT... I have found a new hobby to keep me busy and it is taking over my life, I love it... ROLLER DERBY!!!! OMG how much fun, if I had of known how much fun roller skates were I would have started a long time ago...
So please excuse the lack of craftiness in my blog for a while.. -_-

..........need to update more!!

Ok I am reeeeally going to try and update over the next while... after moving house and not have anywhere to sew or the mojo to do it I have badly neglected my blog... even my dad got on my case about my lack of updating the blog..haha

Little Bea

This is a cute little jumper, it was the first time I have had to follow a non english pattern so I just put it together how I thought it should go... :)

Kids clothes...

The groova got some shorts a while back..
This crazy fabric came out of my mums stash from when we were kids...fun!


Little miss got a new purple stretch denim skirt and a cute top.
I am most impressed with my zipper efforts.. getting so much better..yay for me
the purple denim was out of mums stash so sadly limited, and I wish I had of bought more of the pink stretch when I could... but really how much is too much?


I used press studs instead of buttons because Taegan says they are easier... makes my job easier too.. :)

Thats right... I love this one!

I made mum a bag for christmas, its the Wasp bag that I made a few months back from the very clever machen machen, there is a link in my older post about the wasp bag..

I found some fabulous fabric from spotlight with phoenix's on it..I lurve it!



I used metallic thread to topstitch the bag....OMG what a pain in the rear... not something I would choose to do again in a hurry...

Ok just dooo ittt!!!

Jeebus it has been ages since I have updated anything...I have been such a slacker since Christmas. I didn't want to put anything up until I had given everyone their gifts...
Anyhoo it is late so I will try to make sense..

I got the Olivia pattern FINALLY and I love it, so cute and so easy and so fun to make...
I made one in a size 2 and the other in a size 6ish..

Quinn was really not happy to model a dress for me.... poor kid the things he does for his mama..!





I can see me making lots more of these......


I made for the little brother of the first Olivia a pair of Ottobre Aqua shorts, they come together really nice..

I am sure I have made more over the last month I just need to think...haha

New years resolution...

Is to update my blog...!
