Finally, some thing for me!

I finally made some thing for me!

I knew I wanted to make me some A-line skirts, but all the patterns I have (which I made myself, many years ago, pre-children) no longer fit. At the moment, I don't have the time, or the brain capacity, to make another new pattern.

Looking through pattern books in fabric shops is just not possible at the moment either, with two little kiddies in tow. I now go online and choose any patterns I want to buy. I used this New Look pattern, view A. So easy to make, and even better in this case, GJ's had this one on her pattern stand, just waiting for me. I was well chuffed.

I had to make a skirt out of this gorgeous red and white fabric from GJ's recent sale.

Ha ha, very funny

I was very excited last week to receive notification in the mail that my favourite fabric shop, GJ's, was having another sale.

Chris was not so excited. I meant I would want to buy more fabric. So he tried to convince me I had missed the sale by altering the notification.

Lucky for me I was not fooled, and managed to pick up a few different fabrics. I got the circuit board fabric for Chris, wonder what I will make for him with it?

Get them addicted young!

I recently fell in love. With GJ's Discount Fabric, when I visited it for the first time.

My friend Paige and I spent well over an hour browsing all the different fabrics, it was so hard to choose only a few. To make the visit more exciting for Abbey, I told her she could choose a fabric and I would make her a dress. She chose the pink patterned fabric, and I got the blue one for Zoe.

Look at her in the photo above, cuddling the fabric, she was so excited. She has called it her "rainbow fabric", and I am to make her a "rainbow dress" with it.


Abbey also loves taking photos with my SLR camera, and most of her photos have to have teddy in them - she took this one below, and of course, teddy had to be in it. Too cute, and not bad for a 3 year old.
