Red washi

My blogging is not as often as I like, and my sewing even further in between, but finally some time spent in front of the sewing machine over the last couple of days and time for show and tell.

The two biggest had a sleepover at their Nanny and Poppy's which meant that Eva and I had the WHOLE day to ourselves. Little miss requested Peppa Pig and I was more than happy to oblige while I disappeared for some sewing time, starting with a Washi dress ... a popular dress for very good reasons.







my only modification was to omit the shirring in the back and sew a casing made from bias binding to the inside of the back and insert elastic instead.

I will be making more of these, the tunic version and the maxi version too. Lucky I went and re-stocked fabric at Spotlight the other day.

One week

It's been a week of firsts and fun... moving into our new house, Eva's first day at daycare and going to the Moonlight cinemas in Centennial Park.

and today, while the kids were on their new see saw they got for Christmas for the 1,000 time, I started on my first project around the house... transforming the back of our new pantry.... wait and see.

Merry Christmas everyone. 2013 is shaping up already to be exciting, we are only 2 sleeps away from our big move into our new house. It's brand new so there are a few things I still need to organise to be done like picking which curtains/blinds we want, but it's very exciting. Except being surrounded by boxes... thats not so exciting, but it's not for much longer. Hopefully I can get the sewing room box unpacked quickly and get back into some crafting...
