A pocket, an apron & a bunny.
Before I sewed a pocket onto the
dress in progress, I decided to have a trial run on a smaller skirt made from a sheet. I used
this wonderful tutorial from
Made By Rae to make a proper pleated pocket. Thanks again
Vic for sending me the link.
I have made pockets before but they were always the 'cut out a semi circle and overlock around the edges and stitch it to the garment' type pockets. This pocket is all fancy and pleated and lined. I loved making it and think all the clothing I make in the next little while will be pocketed.
Next up was a commission from Jazzy who asked for a skirt with an apron on it, because she is going to be a cooker when she grows up.
I don't know what came over me, but I actually cut into my favourite tea towel and then I sewed a lovely old doily into the waist band.
She's happy, I'm happy and I'm invited to her tea party. Yay!
And finally, here is the progress on the bunny; a head, a body and two arms. Hopefully I'll get a bit of crochet time on the weekend and be able to start the auction for the Haiti relief effort early next week.
I hope you have a fabulous weekend. XX
