As requested, here's a bit of a look back at the craptacular items I've been sewing.
Item 1 - The sack dress.

This was the first thing I sewed. I haven't worn it yet (and I finished it the week before Christmas. Any suggestions? I thought a band below the bust, empire line style might make it wearable.... I love the fabric though.
Item 2 - The Xmas Top

Lesson number two - always make the bottom of an item extra long so it covers what you want to cover!. I wore this on Christmas day. I still love it. But it reminds me that I need to lose that 7 kilos.
Item 3 - The Amy Butler In Town Bag (the easy non-pattern one)

This was the first time I actually did a proper lining (and use proper interfacing - I have a ginormous roll that I got from Spotlight now!). I use this constantly. So awesome. But I never match my top and my handbag. A little too tacky for my tastes.
Item 4 - The pyjama shorts that look like boardies

I think I'm detecting a preference for frangipanis!
And just because I think the fabric is faaabulous:

Of course, I now have a fabric buying addiction. Today I bought no less than three pieces of fabric (6.5 metres!)

1.5 metres of fancy cotton. I was going to make a skirt, but then I remembered that I don't wear skirts. Probably an off the shoulder top.

Polyester/cotton/lycra/I have no idea.... Isn't it so retro? Probably will be a work top.
And finally, the favourite thing in my stash. The fabric I waited for an hour to buy at Spotlight. I bought three metres because it's that cute:

And just because this is meant to be a food blog:

The caption should read: Mmmm sprinkles.

ice cream cone!
i love the pj shorts and your christmas top! all the fabric you get is SO cute!
I want the pj shorts too, I think that'll be one of the first things I try to make!
Great work :)
I love all of your fabrics!!
Mmmmm sprinkles!
And I think your sewing is awesome!I wish I could even sew in a straight line :(
I think with the top dress the belt below the bust is a good idea. Maybe use a wide cream ribbon in place of the belt?
I wish I could sew!
That little bag would be perfect for a bento.
...please where can I buy a unicorn?
