This is Clara, a primitive doll, with her favourite monkey. I so enjoyed making her and her clothes. Clara has now gone to her forever home and I am busy making the next one. More about that soon...

An apron to match my curtains!
I just completed an apron with two pockets from one of Marina's patterns at Frocks and Frolics. It turned out really well and I am pleased with it. I didn't need to buy any material because I used up some scraps I already had in my stash.

A Knitted Tea Cosy
As the weather has been so horrible in the U.K. lately, I decided to pass the time by knitting myself a new tea cosy. If the bad weather continues, I should soon finish it!

How to make snaps for your children's clothes using a Prym Vario Pliers Tool
Something new to try if you haven't already. I have to say I've had mixed success with these. They don't always work. Be warned! Try it a few times on a scrap piece of fabric before you do it on the garment you are making...

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.
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.
