Sundresses tops and more

I decided to make a few sundresses, tops with matching shorts, dungarees this year for up coming craft fairs.

I've used a pretty little flower material and a nautical pattern for a seaside vibe.

These two are from a pattern I brought a few yrs ago.

I also found a few nice patterns in the local charity shop its the #Mundesley lifeboat charity shop that I visit most days.

This is the patterned hem I used to see how it looks.

 I like this little rose pattern its very pretty for little girls

I particularly like this daisy material I used french seams on this dress

These rompers are just the ticket for a day on the beach

Tiny rompers

 I’ve been thinking about making some rompers for a few months and I already had a pattern I wanted to try 

took the pattern out of the packet and laid it out and gave it a quick iron to get rid of the creases

I cut out the pieces I needed

This is the material I choose for the rompers cute little animals

And cut them out ready for sewing 

I firstly machined the front seam and thing the back seam and then folded over the edge of the crotch and sewed the seam

Next I set about attaching the yoke this took a bit of thinking about it was a bit fiddly but I got there 

Sewed up the outside of the legs made the button holes and added the button to the yoke 

Finally I hemmed the legs and here is the finished item

Knit 1 purl 1 drop 1

 

What a week, first I make a real rookie error, whilst I was sewing on the front edges on to a cardigan when I realised that I'd completely forgotten to sew the shoulder seams 😕so then had to sew the seams and adjust the tops of the sleeves.  

On my next knit I cast on the wrong amount and after 25 rows I noticed 😄 so I had to undo it all and start again.

I'm hoping this will be the last of these lapses and I can get on knitting with out any mishaps.

Edwards new scarf

 

My grandson asked for a new scarf over Christmas, so I let him pick the colours he wanted, so the scarf will be in pear green & baby pink stripes with a little fox face on each end.

Next we looked on the internet for a fox face chart and found one he liked the best.

So here it is, I posted it down to him and I hid a few chocolate coins as a surprise and he insisted on wearing to nursery to show his friends :)

 

Pretty pink toddlers jumper

 

After many craft fairs I've decided to up date my stock so I've made this dusky pink 24" jumper.

Its made from super soft double knit from Robin, and will keep any little toddler nice and warm.

Christmas Carols

 

As a birthday present this year I got tickets for Christmas with Norwich Cathedral Choir, what a lovely evening

Firstly we had dinner at The Real Greek in Norwich with headed off to the Cathedral, lots of fun singing with the choir on certain carols, the 12 days of Christmas was great fun, I can recommend it for next yr.

Christmas jumpers

 

This time of year I always start making my Christmas jumpers, these range from 14" to 24" something for everyone.

These are all made from double knit super soft yarn so they are nice and warm.

I like making these as they are so cute.

I have also made a few Snowman mitts and I will be making a few hats
