Finished by Friday 3

 

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.

 

That's it for this week - see you next week.

Finished by Friday - 2

Welcome to Finished by Friday 2!
This week has flown by.
I have had a busy time but managed to squeeze in as much crafting as possible.
I have to admit to a new addiction....

 








These are my little scrapbox dollies that I have been making for Christmas.
I found the idea on a lovely blog called Flutterby Patch
They are supposed to be tiny dollies made with oddments from your scrap bag.
Well, mine have sort of evolved into quite fancy little dollies.
They have smart little costumes with arms and legs made from co-ordinating beads.
Each one has a ribbon hanging loop so they can hang on the Christmas tree - or anywhere else where a little dolly would look cute.
I still have a few more to finish and then I will decide what to do with them.
Maxine suggested displaying them on a painted branch.

My other little makes were for the twins.
I found a pattern for little slippers so made a pair for each of them.

And then I made a cosy little frock for Lexi - unfortunately it turned out to be too large so I am now making a smaller version. She will grow into it soon, so it won't be wasted!

That's it for this week - see you next week.
Thanks for calling in - I love to hear what you think.
