Mummy & Me Giveaway

So last night I decided I would make the matching Mummy top for me but sadly as gorgeous as it is and as much as I love it, my body shape doesnt suit these types of tops so I'm doing a giveaway. :D

The Mummy top suits a size 16+...this particular Me top isn't part of the giveaway, but don't worry.....I will be making another to suit the child of the winner.

I'm not going to make this hard. Just leave a comment and if you don't have an account, just leave your username and from which forum I know you from.

Will update with more pictures later on...

Closing date is 12th of October at 7pm and this will be drawn on the 13th of October at 7pm....Good Luck ladies!

shir headache? shir delight!

ok so after alot of fiddling around, i finally got the hang of shirring. very monotonous after about 5 rows but the end result is worth it! the fabric from this top i made, i have another 1 1/2 metres of and really tempted to make a matching top for myself LMAO.

on another note, i've discovered coverstitch machines recently. where i thought i would have needed an overlocker, i discovered coverstitch machines and on closer inspection of my kids clothes i realised that all the stitching on them looks to be that of a coverstitch machine. and they have a janome coverpro 1000 priced at $499 in some places. one of my fellow crafty mamas has one (willow & moo's Sara) and i am very impressed. i want one for my birthday :D

sew very spoilt today

oh yes i was...

open my door to 3 very large packages, my face lit up. i've had a shocking week and this was a nice surprise. (well ok, i kind of knew 2 out of 3 were coming)

first package-i got my nappy swap from an unnamed forum...i swapped 4 green Baby Beehinds Magic-Alls for 1 GNST, 1 retro circles Blueberry, 1 red Itti Bitti, 1 lime green Twins in Cloth and an extra set of inserts from the Itti Bitti's...

second package- was my Crafty Mamas Swap that somehow i forgot that even though i needed to send one off, i forgot that i too would be getting one in the mail lol...(sorry to my swap partner, like i said its been a shocking week, well a couple of weeks but mine will be sent sometime next week, i promise!) someone read my post very well and knew exactly what i would like. i got a cookbook about cupcakes, a lipgloss in the cutest little cupcake container, 2 little cupcake bath bombs and a cupcake candle...i dont even know how i will bring myself to use them lol. and some yummy lindt chocolates, (insert drooly smilie here lol) they are all gorgeous, a big thank you to my swap partner whoever you are :D

third package-was my nappies and extras from this months Itti Bitti co-op. this time i spoilt myeslf, or rather Georgia lol and I got 3 out of 4 of the new D'lish colours -jade, baby pink, black- and a lime green one. OMG the jade is even better in real life, its absolutely stunning! the baby pink is just so pretty and better than i thought in the pics online. the black is uber cool! seriously, i can see that matching well with a few of her outfits. (yes i put black on my baby girl, arent i a horrid mother :p) i also got a black oriental blossoms Wild Child, some of Tennilles liners. i am usually lazy and dont use them but after a couple of stains on my ittis i know i need to so even though i can probably make my own, i wanted to buy some so bought Tennnilles, they are so soft and lush with suedecloth and fleece, so they will be getting used today! i also got one of gorgeous lipbalms. i have nearly run out of my strawberry pot from last time and couldnt bear to be without anymore because its my absolute favourite, i use it the most out of all my lipbalms.

yesterday i also got my extra yard of the watermelon fabric....my postie must love me :D

Fabulous, flowing, floral and fun.

Blogging from my phone again. A spur of the moment thing to whip up this dress. Its miss molly inspired but silly me didn't make the tie straps nearly as long as they needed to be so need to be snapped instead. I'm hoping it fits as its part of Georgia's summer wardrobe. Otherwise its giveaway time. Lol. Yes, it does need an iron and needs to be hemmed. I'm hoping i can get action shots soon, as its more gorgeous in real life then it is in this pic. Bought some shirring elastic too, so gonna give that a go soon.

More watermelon yay!

look what came in the mail today. i picked this up from Oztion recently. i also have half a yard coming from eBay of the same watermelon fabric. its a bit different to the other one but i think i love this one more. now i have plenty of watermelon fabric to play with....now my only problem is deciding what to make with it :D

summer's here

i made RJ these beachy long shorts the day i made the bloomers.

they are a nice thin airy fabric, not sure exactly what it is but its great and i have 2 other prints in the same type of fabric. they fit on him really well and look great.

i remember seeing something similar online and they were charging so much for them. i bought my fabric for like $2 or $3 a metre and only used half a metre so these didnt cost me much to make at all....and they look great! i tried getting action shots but he wouldnt co-operate lol
