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!

Little dress update

Well what else do you do on a wet afternoon.!

I had cleaned my car, done the ironing and made a homemade chicken soup lunch so I reckoned the rest of the day was mine!!!

So here is the little dress all finished. I made it slightly larger than planned so that it will probably fit little L.

I have enough fabic left to make her big sister P. one too!!

Here is a close up of the applique.
I like the idea of applying them with Bondaweb and then free machining round them. Its quick and easy and each one will always be different.

I know, these days, children's clothes are so cheap that it's hardly worth all the effort but I enjoy the challenge and I suppose the pattern only used about 50p worth of fabric and a couple of pretty buttons.
Well worth the effort, I think.
