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 :)
