Girl Friday in Swell Fabrics


This little bag was not as big as I thought it would be, just big enough for a purse and sunnies! Not sure if the pattern was intended for a little girl, but I might make it in a larger version next time. Fabrics used are from Urban Chiks for MODA - Swell.

Coffee Cup Cozy


I love the idea of a Coffee Cozy! It's a perfect way to dress up your coffee cup in style! I will make a heap of these in the coming weeks!

Bag Madness

Phew!  Yesterday I finished a few more bags.  I cut the fabric for these bags last month, but never got around making them.  I have so many things I would like to work on right now, but trying hard to complete what I have started first...  Some of these will be for sale in a shop in Beaufort, Victoria.  If you are interested in purchasing any of these, just contact me and I can set up a Paypal Invoice.

A Green Frill Me Bag in Amy Butler Fabrics


Here is my latest Frill Me bag, this one is in Amy Butler's Daisy Chain fabrics and Moda Bleach White - which is more of a creamy white.  The pattern is Melly & Me's Frill Me, but I have modified the pattern a little.

Pretty Ditty Apron


This is my first attempt at making an apron using Jamie Christina's ''Pretty Ditty'' pattern.  I made the non-reversible apron and really like it!  Might have to add a few of these to my To-Do-List!

it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

I love Christmas, it's simply the best time of the year, and even though we are usually really busy, I find I always sew at lot during the whole month of December!  I have been busy making bags for presents for my friends. Here are some of what I have made this week:



I started these last two quite a while ago, but kind of never got around to finish them, but this morning got motivated!


Some new dresses for Summer

It's almost Christmas and here in Australia that also means SUMMER is here! It has taken me quite a few years to get use to this, coming from Sweden where Christmas is always cold & dark, and sometimes snow!  To kick off the summer season, I have made Mia some new dresses.  I will make more of these, because she loves wearing them!

Hullabaloo Quilts

Today I will start cutting three new quilts and here are the fabrics that I'm going to use:






I only have a Fat Quarter of each of these beautiful prints, so I will be somewhat limited to what I will do, but that is also the fun part!
