Spolight find

Macie and I took a wee trip to Spotlight last week. Our main job was to find fabric for a Jedi cape for her bestie Cruz. Of course we took the opportunity to have a good look around! I am so lucky to have a little princess who enjoys fabric and shops... Macie happy to push her baby in the trolley, sit and look at the pattern books and also check out whats on offer fabric wise... how could I then resist when she found the cutest wee cord fabric with elephants on it.... oh and a great pattern book with the cutest wee tunic top in it! (Sorry Daddy, it was a MUST have!)

So, after a bargin of denim for $3, elephant fabric and book, and of course the Jedi fabric for Cruz.. we headed home. Macie got up the next morning expecting to wear her elephant dress... alas it was still just a piece of fabric.. so on Saturday we got busy sewing. She helped a little bit and then helped more by keeping herself busy and out of my way...;)

Here is the finished product...

Check out the face! Not sure what thats about, seems when we 'model' these days it comes with a screwed up nose and two chins!!!!!!!!! ;)

Check out the special strawberry pockets we chose to put on the dress..

Here is the clever straps up close... we used suspender clips. Macie loves!

Here is the gorgeous book the dress is from...

Its available on Book Depository. The book has 23 different project from the same basic 4 patterns. It includes tops, skirts, dresses and pants. Good buy!

Just about to sit down and sew together the Jedi cape, will post pic when thats all done especially for those with Star Wars fans. Happy sewing everyone. A xx
