I may have an obsession with storage

I have realised that if I am not making clothes for Madam then it tends to be bags, or fabric baskets, or pouches or cases...well you get the idea
You might think this makes me an organised, tidy person... you would be wrong, but I still live in hope that one day this obsession will lead to a tidy home. I admit this is unlikely unless my 5yr old and Nigel, the poodle, move out.

I've recently started my 3rd large cross stitch project, a Lavender and Lace Celtic lady, the summer one and got fed up of fishing my threads out from the bottom of a bag each day -then I found this

After finally finding Ziploc bags on eBay I set to work

Yup I now have a new obsession! These 4 are for 3 friends, and my mum. Mum doesn't cross stitch but I thought she could store all her die cuts (she scrapbooks) in it.

Thanks for looking!

Lydia and the doll swap

doll clothes

Ok I've been bitten by the doll clothes bug!!

She's a designafriend doll-same height as an American Girl doll, but a little slimmer in the body

Oliver and s tea party dress from the book

and school uniform! The top is a free Liberty Jane pattern-love it, the first time I have managed to do a placket without screaming lol. I based the skirt on the Oliver and S music class skirt- must find CJ's school skirt I made with this pattern and photograph next

The doll (now named Charlie after her cousin) was a first day of school present for our little lady

 

Um ok, not so ladylike!! Farbenmix Imke using a thrifted Hello Kitty shirt and using up scraps of fabric-so scrappy in fact that both sleeves have a section with ribbon trim hiding a seam beacause I didn't have enough left to get a full pattern piece out!

This is my second half of week 1 SG, now to find the stuff already in use that I made earlier in the week
Thanks for looking!
