Well fancy that - I am on time today and actually posting my WOYWW on Wednesday morning!
Things are on a green theme here today.
The machine threads and embroidery floss are all ready for Tilly Tea Dance to get to work this morning. She will be creating a few more little pictures with free machining and hand embroidery sitting here in my sewing room.
Beside the threads is a little Katie Morag kilt that I made this week. Green tartan is difficult to find so I have used a green tartan/check cotton winceyette for the little dressing up skirt.
It went together well and is cosy too.
I made a little kilt-like flap at the front and embroidered a mock kilt pin in silver thread.
The waist is elasticated so it should fit a 4-5 year old.
It is dressed in football gear so I thought this would go nicely with it.
I even put the monkey's name on the back! (Bonkers, I know!) But he will love it.
Thanks for all your lovely comments. I will look forward to a good snoop round your desks later.

Love the hoodie and the little kilt is so sweet as well. Have a happy week. Anne x #17 ( I think :-)
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative, Jo, and have great patience for the wee makes.The football hoodie is ace-he’ll be looking for one for himself next! Have a lovely day with Ben and Maxine. Catriona
ReplyDeleteYou are thoughtful, the name on that hoodie is the perfect finishing tough which he will love!! And the little Katie MOrag skirt is brilliant too, I bet it's snapped up. The Half Fisherman's Rib is deceptively easy:
ReplyDeleteCast on an odd number of stitches
Row 1 (and all odd rows) Knit
Row 2 (and all even rows) *P1, KBL (knit through back of loop) * repeat across row to last stitch, P1
And that's it! It's brainless crafting to do while not really paying attention - perfect for numbskulls like me!!

Such a cute cardie for the cuddly monkey; I'm sure your great nephew will love it. I will manage to avoid dressing up for our WBD celebrations this year as I have to go to a meeting in the afternoon lol. Have a good week. Sarah #6/26
ReplyDeleteAfternoon Jo. That little hoodie is just gorgeous! Well done. That kilt is cute - I'm sure there is a little 5year old somewhere just awaiting that.
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.
