Oliver and s in the snow



Yes its snowing outside so of course I decide to sew some more of Claudies summer wardobe!

I got the Oliver and S Hopscotch pattern recently, I got the larger size so had to trace a 5 for little miss just 4yrs but to be honest next time I make some I'll need to add a couple of inches to the length-she definitely takes after daddy in height! (says little short round me)

It doesn't look too bad when she is just standing, but Claudie doesn't stand still for long



We have a christmas challenge on the sewing mamas forum this year, a different christmas article to sew each month-this month it was sew a reusable gift bag. I'm hoping this counts, a stocking is pretty reusable, right?

and the other monthly challenge was to sew something out of your comfort zone.
Claudie has this doll at my parent's house-no the cat didn't get it, she loved the thing to near death!


I drafted the body very roughly pinning the calico round the doll and made some final adjustments later-she didn't turn out too bad really
Oh joy, this snow, that wasn't forcast for our area, is now laying and dh has promised claudie a trip to Build a bear. Wish us luck (and a cheap trip lol)
