I finally have pictures to share, yeay!
I have been sewing, and have made a couple dresses,
here is a light blue one still on the dress form,
you can see here, it is still inside out and has some pins in it
for the final fitting:
I have a turquoise one I have made also, it has been completed already,
and I have worn it out to eat... I is a great summer dress,
very comfortable, very easy to sew, and very easy to
tailor to your particular fit, it was a simplicity pattern.
I have material for 1 more like it, then I will pick a different pattern. :)
Here I have made the boxy little bag that Cindy made over at A Happy Bluebird,
where she found the tutorial on a word press blog called
The Three Bears. It is really easy and fun to make.
I already have material cut for several in a
couple of different sizes, to organize a few things, and to
give as gifts for friends :)
Next, I have been tatting, yes, lol, bet everyone thinks I have forgotten hot to tat :D
but not, I am tatting :)
I am working on a hanky edge, for some reason, I always forget to
take a picture of the finished hanky before I give them away or
mail them out, but I have no plans for this one, and I will try to take a pic
of the finished project to post, I promise.
and finally, I wanted to share the sweet little bag I received from Miranda.
it was my turn to get the traveling book, and she sent this really pretty bag along
with it, and inside was a really pretty surprise:
Inside I opened it up, and found this beautifully tatted pendant, it is a pattern
from the book. I am delighted to receive it, and thank you Miranda :)
It is beautiful, and I treasure all the little pieces that get sent to me :)
Happy tatting and crafting, Bree.
Happy tatting and crafting, Bree.
Beautiful edging...love the bags...and the dress looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteSewing and tatting... me too! No dresses for me, though. I've been making Origami bags. I think I'm going to give this little bag a try... so cute!
ReplyDeleteGosh you have been busy, lovely tatted edging, and beautiful pendant.

ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for your wonderful words of encouragement and all your well wishes :) they are much appreciated :)
Ooh - garment sewing is not something I can do :( But bags? Yes! I love that little boxy pouch - nice fabric!
ReplyDeleteI really like the hanky edging too - it's really nice in pink. And lucky you with that surprise pendant - what a sweet "extra"!
Your hanky edging looks really nice so far!! And the color is fabulous!! :)
