Farbenmix Feliz Dress!

Well the thermometer has been in the low 90's for most of the day here today, and what have I been doing? 

That's right, boys and girls...I've been sewing a Feliz!

I started about 9.30am this morning, and finished it around 5.30pm this evening - I didn't even stop for lunch lol! (Ok, so I stopped and made Jamie some.....)

I'm so pleased with it, especially considering it's my first one and I don't generally 'do' patterns - I just hope the little lady I made it for likes it too! (I know her Mum does ha ha). The more I look at it, the more I think it has a touch of Alice in Wonderland about it lol!

So anyway...pics...

I've been a busy girl!

Over the past couple of days, so I thought I should share with you what I've been making!

Firstly was a couple of bags (yeah, like you're shocked......lol!) - I think these have a very fresh and spring like feel to them!

Fabric used: Kate Spain Central Park North Meadow Aqua

Free Spirit Designer Beads Mist

Free Spirit Designer Solids Aqua

15mm Plain Ribbon Plum

Fabrics used:  Carolyn Gavin Spring Street Buzzing Gardens Multi

Carolyn Gavin Spring Street Tossed Flowers White

Free Spirit Designer Solids Lemon

15mm Plain Ribbon Blue

 All the above fabrics and ribbons were bought from Sew Me Happy - my favourite UK fabric shop! (And I'm not getting any payment or goods for this mention - I just love them!)

And then something that's NOT a bag - another dress! This one is for a friend's gorgeous little 2 month old girl - I hope she likes it! Its based on the Made By Rae Itty Bitty Dress  with a few variations of my own. You'll notice this is the same fabric as my camera bag and the other little girl's dress I made - I think it suits the style perfectly!

So that's it! 

Have a great weekend, and thanks for looking!

I ordered this little lot to make a bag for my friend...but when it arrived I wasn't keen on the fabric/ribbon combo! So after a quick think and an email or two to my friend...we came up with this combo instead from my stash! Phew!

Ribbon - East of India Grey Heart (also from Sew Me Happy)

Fabric - Miscellaneous from stash lol!

Much better, yes? 

The grey dots and black ribbon won't go to waste - I'll just use them on something else lol!

As it feels like Spring....

I thought I'd share with you this bag I made yesterday...

it's called the 'Romance' Bag, and the pattern will be available soon.

This was my first time trying to make this style of fabric flower - I think it turned out ok!

Ribbon - no idea - an odd piece from my stash lol!

Of course I had to take some pictures - they're too beautiful not to!
