WOYWW

Good morning all!!
Today I am going gardening for daughter M.
Hopefully this blog will upload first thing, all by itself, then I will dash to Mr Linky and add my name to the hundreds that join in the WOYWW madness that the wonderful Julia started over a year ago. We all love visiting other blogs to see what everyone has been up to. If you want to know what its all about, then pop over to Julia's blog and check us out.
My work desk is empty apart from my machines .............
so, just a quick update on my crafty work of the week.
The tiny pinafore dress looked so lovely last week that I was inspired to make a bigger one for P.
She loves cats so, of course, I appliqued a little " Meow" on hers!! ( That's what she calls her cuddly toy cat).

Have a great day!

WOYWW


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!!!
