More Mix and Match

 Next I made a pinafore, am thrilled with how it turned out  and I still have some scraps of both fabrics left so will be adding to the set. 

The last of the new miniature daffodils pots is in flower, this is Carice the trumpet is more an apricot shade and every bulb planted has two flower stems, the best display of the three different ones I bought this year. The are on the deck right by the door so i get to enjoy them every time I go out.

More flowers the lovely bouquet I was presented with yesterday. 

A new start

 I have started on a mix and match set. have been given fabric scraps from a friend who made herself a jacket with the fabric. She described it as...Oatmeal coloured loose woven with a subtle slivery gold metallic thread and slubs of bright colours. Reminding  her of cake sprinkles.  I Have teamed it with a Liberty Lawn fabric that there were some scraps I might add of interesting shapes and sizes.

The first pieces were made using the liberty fabric. a blouse and skirt. I have joined the blouse and petticoat together as this makes the blouse sit better and not ride up. The matching skirt gives it the look of being a dress. One of the long fabric strips was perfect for the headband.

 Now a change with the oatmeal fabric skirt. is a soft blend fabric and I loved the feel and how it made up even managed to have pockets, 

More pieces are planned.

A little update

I finally found some small iron on transfers, first up I have made some T-shirts. there are plenty more ideas I can use them for just need more time.

Rosie and Poppy had their first outing when we recently went to visit the Ladies group from church., we had quite a fashion parade showing off all their dresses and accessories along with the photo books telling their story.

I am enjoying   the lovely display of miniature Daffodils by my door.

and yes someone else had to  be in the photo !
