My Latest Project - The Georgina Dress

I recently bought some very pretty cotton material with pictures of Peter Rabbit on it - just right I thought, for my next project, which will be the Georgina dress from Frocks and Frolics. I love Peter Rabbit and I hope my newest little grand-daughter will too.

This dress is aimed at beginners and there is a lovely video to go with it. Marina steers you through from start to finish, making it so easy to follow and avoid mistakes before they happen.

Hopefully I will soon have a picture of my grand-daughter wearing the dress, to complete the sequence.

Happy sewing!

Vintage knitted baby dress

Thank

I love making these pretty little baby dresses in a vintage style. This time I made it in teal, but it can look good in other colours too. See the side panel for the pink version.

Finished project - a cover for my sewing machine.

My new sewing machine needed a cover because it didn’t come with one. I took the opportunity of using the variety of different stitches that exist on the new gem of a machine and I’m pleased with the result.  I particularly liked doing the smoke from the chimneys on the little houses and for that I used a curly stitch.  If you click on the picture you can make it bigger to see the detail.

The sewing machine is bigger at the base by quite a lot so I had to be careful with the measurements, but it came out just right in the end.
