Oh after 3 weeks away from my sewing machine it is really good to be in sewing mode again!
I am trying to be good & reduce the pile of UFO's, so I am allowing myself to make one new thing & then finish one UFO - hmmmmm not sure how long that is going to last, but will keep at it.
I finished 2 different smock tops which were in the UFO pile - I am goin to be making up quite a few of these & opening my etsy Spunkymonkies store again & I may even give Madeit a go.
I had this yellow floral fat quater just lying around for ages & couldn't decide what to do with it, but thought it went quite well with the spot it was next to on my pile. So a simple little skirt was created for Em - she can never have enough skirts according to her.
I also whipped up this mushie one - which I LOVE & although it is not pink - Em says it is her favourite too. I might just do a little mushroom applique with the same fabrics on a white t to go with the skirt....
Well the title pretty much says it all. I have been trying to get some winter clothes made for the kids - well pants anyway - these are just 2 pairs I have finished of late. I have also made up some flannel jammie pants & have a couple more cut out.
This is a wrap skirt I made up from the "Make it Perfect - Versitile Wrap" pattern. Once you drafted the pattern it was really quite simple & I like the cut. I am sure the instructions are good - I just didn't read them - I am terrible if I think I know how it goes together I just do it, I find it hard to follow instructions if I already have an idea in my head - sometimes it works & other times I am glad there are instructions to fall back on :)
Now that the sun has decided to come out after a few weeks of rain, I have finally caught up on about 10 loads of washing & was able to wash some of my recent op shop goodies.... I know these really should have been my first priority with washing, but I can't quite picture Mr Spunky being too thrilled if I handed him a vintage sheet Toga to wear to work :)
I just need to figure out what I am going to make with them. The trucks & trains are earmarked for some boys pants or shorts.
Wow was easter a big day, not only did the easter bunny deliver these cuties (and many other chocolate treats), but it was also 6 years since I married my prince charming! The bunnies were made using a tut on the softies blogsite & I added a pocket..
I can't believe how quickly time flies. In that time we have travelled so much, including a 2 year stint in the apple isle, but best of all had 2 little spunky monkies. Thank Mr Spunky for making the last 6 years so wonderful & for allowing me to know I am deeply loved. Oh I better stop before I get really mushy :)
I have been doing a lot of cutting out for stock of my etsy store - I just need to sew it all up & list it ( I get kinda slack at this point). I did finish these 2 pair of flares which I will hopefully list soon.
