Good morning all!!
Today, as you see, my ironing board started off as my workdesk. ( Please excuse all the blotches of glue and fabric paint!)
I am busy with the little pinafore dress from last week's WOYWW post.
I decided it needed a little applique before I make a start on sewing it together.
Birds and flowers seem popular on tinies' clothes at the mo, so that's what I decided to do.
I cut the little shapes from scraps of baby dress fabric ironed onto Bondaweb.
All I did then was, peel off the backing paper and iron the shapes on to the dress front.
Then I whizzed round with the free-machining. Done!!
Below is the finished applique. Now I just need to get sewing to make it up. Its so tiny - 0-3 months so it should be done in an hour. I may add an update but I have a few jobs to do today as well!!
The car needs washing and I have a pile of ironing....... Mmm .. maybe I will sew first..lol!!!
Enjoy your day and I will pop over and see what you are up to thanks to the wonderful Julia who organises us all!!!
Lovely seeing a work in progress.xxx

Gorgeous little dres.. I have a theory about ironing.. if you wear it crumpled, the heat of your bod will make the creases drop out... that's my excuse and I sticking to it LOL

So cute...I miss the days of sewing for my girls when they were little...always matching outfits too!
ReplyDeleteThe finished jumper is so cute!
That dress (I looked at the update) turned out lovely - can just see a little cutie in this! Thank you for the lovely comments on my blog ;)
ReplyDeleteI saw the finished product in the next post. It's so nice to see a work as it progresses. You do lovely work. And it's a great design.
ReplyDeleteI've often thought that it used to be people sewed their clothes to save money. Now they sew for satisfaction. Glad to hear the fabric was not that expensive. It would have been here. Sorry I'm late getting here. Had a big tutorial to finish. Happy belated WOYWW.
interesting, beautiful colours in your current project. sorry for the late visit - Happy WOYWW! Thank you for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit late this week and the little dress looks beautiful in your next post. Gorgeous fabric and a really pretty design.
