Happy Straya Day!

I made a "solar dress" from some Chinese made bandannas that were in the supermarket yesterday perfect for Australia day the hat was from the Herald sun  She loves it

 I don't think you can see it but this dress has a v waist I love them just like a princess.  Its an Enid Gilchrist dress too, ment for a heavier fabric but I think this is pretty.



A little poser in the dress she requested, is oh so full and if you put a petty skirt on under it it just poufs out like a big ball gown.
 She loves it.

Sewing Summer

A circle skirt long and languishing sorry about the side angle.
An Enid Gicrhist pini
The Solar dress from Indeitudes http://indietutes.blogspot.com/2010/08/solar-dress-free-pattern.html. This dress used 2 canteen bandannasand I used elastic cause it was pretty and i had some lying around.
2 more stash busting circle skirts How "Mad" is the skully one? The other one is so tiny I wasn't sure it would make it below her undies but it does and its probably her favourite one

I also made a couple of baby nighties for a friend who had a baby just before midnight new years eve. No pictures of them sorry :( But they Were Enid Gilchrist raglan wrap nighties.

My older children lived in them when they were tiny Zoe was the only one who missed out on these treasures.

I have more for another post some grown up things for me. I call all this stress sewing we can't go away due to lack of finances so to keep my mind happy I am sewing it used to be baking but I haven't even got enough to bake and fructose intolerance is a bugger when I have to totally relearn every thing about cooking.
