Welcome to finished by Friday 3
Another busy week has whizzed by.
This week I have been dress making.
My second attempt at a dress for Lexi.I think I have the size right this time.
The fabric is Laura Ashley, I think - it has a nice cosy feel to it. I trimmed it with a little bright pink panel and pocket.
A little denim skirt - I made up the pattern for this one.
This is a little check frock made from a cosy cotton skirt. I had a matching T shirt which I chopped down to make one for Lexi. The braid was a scrap from my ribbon jar - it matched perfectly with the colours of the dress.I ought to get Lexi to model them but they have all been poorly this week.
Hope they are soon better.
This little frock is made from brushed cotton. I made it from the copy of my pattern that I made for LLJ - just to make sure it worked. I also took photos as I went along so that I could include them with the instructions. I hope you can make sense of it all Jan!I trimmed this one with scraps from the T shirt and a little mouse.
And lastly another cosy pair of slippers made to match the little spotty frock.

You are amazingly productive. Can I have some of your energy please? Lexi is such a lucky little lady to have such a talented Gran and Great Aunt.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous makes Jo! They will look beautiful in them! Those slippers!! Wow!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend and don't get the dreaded lergy!

I do really appreciate all the time and trouble you took to set out the pattern and instructions for me! That's going to test my rather basic sewing skills but hey, what's life without a challenge :D
ReplyDeleteI am going to have a little try when life calms down next week or so - it might end up either being a Christmas present of go in the rags bag!!!
But yours are mini masterpieces :)

Hi Jo, gosh, but you have been busy - Lexi will be delighted with those adorable slippers and a dress to match. I've caught up on you WOYWW post - well, I'm late as always - and losing snips and other vital but small tools of the trade is something I am all too familiar with. I think I have at least 3 snips ... not as many as you have, but still more than is totally necessary :) Hope you have a great weekend - a belated WOYWWer - Elizabeth x #76
ReplyDeleteOh my, you’ve had a busy week Jo.
ReplyDeleteJust loving those cute little slippers. Wouldn’t mind a pair of those myself!
Happy Crafting!

ReplyDeleteWOW! You have been busy. What lovely items. I am going to attempt a pair of baby shoes when I have finished the baby blanket. :o)
ReplyDeleteOh these are really lovely. Especially the little slippers and the Laura Ashley fabric dress. Won't Lexi look a Princess in those?
