claudie's christmas presents

toddler swap goodies

What a lovely suprise to come home to-our toddler swap goodies got here much faster than I expected. I only managed to get CJ to model the lovely poodle print hoodie before bed but she loves everything (so do I!)

A big thank you to Barb for organising, and to all the very talented sewing mamas who joined in

last stash game bits

nearly there!

Well we are nearly at the end of the september stash game. Just a quick update on all the new clothes i've made for Claudie this week

stash game weeks 1 & 2

I'm a bit behind with uploading photos- this first one is for accountability more than anything

10 Obi wraps from 1 yard wonders all as presents for the volunteers that work for our charity

I gave them out at the weekend-everyone loved them-especially the zebra print!

wedding outfits

Not quite sure what blogger is doing with my photo today so excuse the squiffy layout!
This is Portabelle Pixie Gracie- the jumper pattern.
I love it but the pattern is definitely missing a few instructions-there are no dots on the front pattern piece yet you are told to gather between them. The instructions to put the collar on seem over complicated and confusing too

Madam was in a silly mood so action shots is the best I could get! I made it for her to change into once my sisters wedding ceremony is over and the pictures are taken. Crawling is not advisale in a bit frilly net skirted dress so she can wear this with some brown velvet trousers

I'm still not sure if I'm wearing this to my sisters wedding. The tunic is from an Otto, I'm really pleased with it-consdering its a slippy fabric, stretch jersey and had a pattern to match up!

Right off to look for an apron pattern-I finally get to do a swap with people in the UK :-)

Thanks for looking

Autumn clothes

This was suposed to be the Otto Muffin tunic-turned out a little too long-but it makes a nice dress too! It was my very first attempt with my serger-it didnt turn out too bad

My second serger attempt-a recycled t-shirt. This was a 25p t-shirt from a car boot sale, but it was too small. I loved the tortoise logo on the front so using the Farbenmix Imke pattern I made it a bit wider and put long sleeves on it-I'm really pleased with this !

Couldn't resist this shot of CJ playing ar guitar! Otto 4/10 #2

I wanted it to be more of a top than a dress but forgot that when I cut it out- I've chopped about 4 inches off the bottom now so she can crawl in it. Sorry for the blurry shots-DH took the camera to an airshow so I had to take them on my phone

The fabric is Robert Kauffman Apples-they are CJ's favourite food

Thanks for stopping by
