Missing For A Week And A Giveaway

Missing For A Week And A Giveaway


I haven't blogged for a week.
Mostly because I have been project jumping and haven't finished anything to show and tell.

Until last night.

I bought the 'Ruffle pants' pattern by 'Portabellopixie'.

They were really fun and easy.











I couldn't tell the back from the front so I sewed a bit of ribbon into the back seam.



Thursday night Oliver and I worked on his valentine box.



Another Oliver + s dress.
It is not finished.
It still needs a button in the back and fancy trim sewn to the yoke.


Freya modeling with her fashion pose and 'Zoolander' look. ( A very bad movie by the way.)



I am working on a group of softies, The Rogue Rabbit Gang.



This is Paul.



I mentioned another giveaway last week.
"Sew Easy' is a great book for brand new sewers.
It includes 12 fun projects and a guide to getting started.



If you would like this book please leave a comment.
On Wednesday I will draw a winner.

I missed blogging and will get my groove together this coming week.

(I had a bit of trouble with spacing.
One day I will sit down and learn Blogger.)

  1. Oh, your rogue rabbit gang is ridiculously cute. Great inspiration for Easter prezzies... And I LOVE the hedgehog fabric you used for the ruffle pants!! I used that for the first-ever pants I made for my Bebe (which had weird fit-over-the-diaper issues, but I loved them anyway).

  2. I love all of the sweet clothes you are making for Freya. My mother used to make my clothes when I was little and I remember how excited I would get to wear a new handmade dress. I would love to enter the giveaway. Thanks for the opportunity.

  8. I love love love the vintage table you put your books in! Very cool. This book would be the PERFECT book to gift my dear friend who has just received a new sewing machine for Christmas. I have been working hard at pulling her over to the fabric/sewing obsessed club that I belong to. This looks like a good starting book for her. Pick Me.!

  10. This book would be a lifesaver! I have no sewing skills whatsoever and am at a complete loss when I lose a button or manage to rip a garment.

  11. I'd love to win the book as I want to learn how to sew again. I used to sew on my mother's old Husquerna machine, but it's broken and I am wondering about getting a new one.
