Just before Christmas my friend Deidre dropped of several boxes of fabric and old patterns, she was having a big sort out.
I'm in 7th heaven as I'm a Fabric Alcoholic.
Savannah and I have been through the boxes and decided what we are keeping.
Friday we went into town for a pattern for a dress for Savannah, she has always loved her dresses.
She helped me with the cutting out and I did the sewing.
The fabric for this dress is just beautiful, she got lots of comments about it today at church, out of a strip of a scrap we made a scarf which she has used in her hair.
Savannah has also made a very simple skirt nearly all by herself. She is very pleased with it and is very keen to do some more.
Here is the PJ's I have for Samuel. He is so pleased with them that he said he has the smartest PJ's in Timaru.
I still have 2 more to sew for him.
Thanks Deidre.
WOW.....are you the speediest sewer in the world??? These are beautiful Helen. I love the tones in the dress. She looks so grown up. The PJ's rock too. Sadly my machine sits v v neglected ith material and pattern #'s in with the fabric so I can recall what I was gunna make with them. You are very lucky to be able to share your love of sewing with Savannah...and she can carry on ur mantle. Awesome work helen. ooxx
