This Cute scarf i made using white stretch and jersey knit interlock fabric layers, cut out to reveal the lace layer...

Looks great with any outfit...

Length is 120 cm and width is 17 cm

well back to it cut cut cut..........snip snip snip....

Little Black dress with lace

Spent the weekend creating my version of a  gorgeous little black dress with white lace it is all stretch.

The dress is made from layers of fabric sewn together, then i cut away the top layer to create this design.....

The dress is sleeveless perfect for warmer days/nights.

It is 85 cm in length and will suit a size 12 to 14 easy

The dress has a V shaped neckline back and front.

This dress is very flattering and very comfy....

Another pile of scrap...

More left over bits and pieces of fabrics....

Another T-shirt this time mostly pink....

This t-shirt has a cutout layer of black for the main part of the design

And the result well i think my daughter wants to keep this one......

I think it suits her....

What to do with all the scraps of fabric....

Discovered i am building up a lot of left over bits and pieces of fabrics....

I guess best thing for them is to turn them into something that can be worn...... a TShirt would suit i think....

And the result looks kind of cool......

Most of these fabrics are from skirt.... the lace is from a rather large bag of lace and other offcuts that my daughter gave me.....

Oh so cold.......

Today has to be one of the coldest so far this winter.... 

Completed a skirt today well nearly just need to fix up waist band.....

i used a cute cherry and pin stripe fabric together and some cute lace....

A dressing gown ok..

well spent the day making my daughter a dressing gown.......... black with skulls of course...... and it turned out awesome no photo yet....

thank  you spot light for having really cheap fabric........

So so tired....

I am so looking forward to the weekend....... this week seems to be going forever.... i am not enjoying the 5.30 alarm call......

 but i guess it is hump day after all......

one skirt finished today.....

well i have finished a new skirt and i think it looks kind of nice.... but alas too lazy to take photos at moment..

the  fabric i used were Alexander Henry tattoo print...

some thing like this , the dark fabric strips down the front are gathered and the skirt has a ruffle with contrasting dark fabric as well... 

any way photo coming soon.....

i also had a sale last week....

the skirt is off to USA

skulls and more tulle......

found some tulle in rather big pile of fabric but white not quite right so dyed it, did not know that tulle does not like dye must have done something wrong..... oh well at least it is a pale mauve sort of color.....

Along with some purple cotton fabric and skulls of course ..... i have a thing for lace you may have noticed..... i have created this skirt....

Lace skulls and tulle

So with some white cotton fabric black skulls, add a black tulle layer, add a lacy layer, add some black lace to the white cotton fabric, a bit of elastic to add some gathering  details.

What you get is a cute skirt..... well i think its cute any way.....

And now to continue sewing .........

well what i should have done today was mow my lawn it is only a foot high...... my excuse no petrol..... maybe tomorrow...

Was thinking about another creation......

Well a nice long weekend due to public holiday, so i was thinking of making another creations.....

but i have so much fabric dont know where exactly to start ....... so will probably spend most of time off just deciding....

But i know it will possible be another skirt creation or two or three and lace well why not....

will get back to you on that one....

Another lacy number...

I have created another lacy skirt which seem to take for ever to finish.....

I think it turned out very cute....

I got my daughter to help create some new photos for my skirt today.....

She has fun creating the whole look thank you lovely Amy

So now to fix up my ETSY shop with the new photos....

And Now One Lace skirt

So the pile of lace is now a skirt..... and i think it looks really cute.....

It took quite a few hours to complete and yes i have a neck ache but totally worth it....

now to put up on Etsy for all to see.....

and what next i say well i have more lace and this time maybe some black lace as well....

Work and other boring stuff......

Well i really wish i could work less hours and get same money.... 

work is so boring...... 

the customers are great but the job is repetitious...

I think i would love to spend my day sewing and just pretending to create stuff.....

I have a pile of lace might try and make something from it...... lovely soft pastel colors....pink, blue, green, bit different from the black that is in most of my stuff......

any way of  to it i go.....

Moving day

Well not my moving day, my daughters moving day, and what a day is has been, there new home is very nice, but no power for at least the next 10  days, some mix up with the builder or some thing like that,

lucky they own next door as well so can use that power, but with two young children i would say it will not be much fun......

They do have a pretty nice view from there deck........ the sun streams in in the morning so lovely...cannot wait to stay.....

So home now and off course i just had to do some sewing......

i thought that these fabrics might work together

with some black and lace

some layers would look awesome so here are the resulting creations......

I just wish i could take better pictures.......

Happy mother day........and time to sew
