Holiday Projects

Don't you just love the school holidays? Long lazy mornings where you take your time getting up and sorting breakfast...pj's til lunchtime at least once... play dates, parks, picnic lunches. Not a lot of time for sewing.

In the second week of the holidays the kiddies spent a day with their grandparents. It was my holiday, my sew day. I was really excited and had 4 projects all cut out and ready to go.

Fortified with a hot chocolate after dropping of the kids and I was all set. I had at least 4 hours of sewing ahead of me.

I made a 2nd peasant dress for me from SisBloom. It is really easy to sew and looks great. I made mine in chiffon to go over t shirt and jeans.

Then I completed two nappy wallets for a couple of friends. I fixed a cape for my nephew and made a start on Macie's shorts.

Since this wonderful day of sewing I have been busy with the demands of the children... sewing demands that is. Macie was keen for her shorts to be completed so she could wear them over her new purple tights and Cullen was gifted a Darth Vadar mask on his day out with Nana and Grandad so he desperately needed a cape to match his cousins.. like now mum!

So we tootled off to Evans' in the Hutt to use my $25 credit ( I can share that I was not at all planning on using my credit for a cape but when needs must...)

Lucky for Cullen it was a sew club night. So after using my afternoon to cut out the cape, I took it and my trusty overlocker to sew club where I completed it. All less than 24 hours after he had asked for one. I left it on his bed end for him to find in the morning and wa-la we had Darth Vadar swoop in for a two day visit. Here he is with his sister proudly showing off her new shorts from Clever Charlotte.

(gee whizz how many chins does that little one have??!!)

I hope your holidays have been filled with fun.. and sewing too! A xx
