Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas ladies! I hope you've had, or about to have a very merry and happy one! It's just about over here in NZ, and I just wanted to quickly share with you what I have been busy making.
Tag idea from the fabulous Red Pepper Quilts

Gingerbread House

A bit of research and a couple of tips from a friend that makes one every year and voila!
The kids had so much fun with this Christmas time number.
A lot of work, but a lot of fun. We had the grandparents over last night for the inaugural cutting ceremony.
That's all for now, must go and sew away the afternoon...

Dresses, dresses and more dresses

Sorry it's been a while since my last post, I have been so busy sewing that I haven't had a chance to stop and photograph what I am doing. I finished number two of four (you know what with the binding) and have finished the third top now - so feeling pretty confident that I can get it all done in time for Christmas. And as you can see I have been having a play with shirred dresses. Above is my favourite - I love that fabric - it's from Retro Mummy's shop.
This is Little Miss B's favourite and cost 70cents to make! Half a metre of $1 fabric and a metre of 20 cent lace - got to be happy with that.
Two dresses for some little girls I know, which still need straps.
And finally having a play with other styles. I still need to decide what to do with the bottom, a strip of fabric or lace?

That's all for me, hope everyone is well and getting everything done on their lists. I don't know about you, but as soon as I cross something off, something seems to get added...
