part two

the second project i finished last week was a skirt for little O, i opted for a more muted colour scheme, but then that means she can get away with wearing it now (with a pair of tights) instead of having to wait for spring to arrive 


i'd had this one planned in my head for a while, i just love the Denyse Schmidt, wallflower fabric (from here) which i teamed with some Kaffe Fassett shot cotton (sorry can't remember what the colour was called but i got it from here) it's ever so soft, i'd love to make myself something to wear with it 


i added a little lace & ribbon to make the pockets, it's had the seal of approval, as she chose to wear it at the weekend


back with more sewing soon

    That is beautiful and I love the colours you have put together - almost like an apron skirt.

    That is so pretty, and the colours are soft and lovely. I have some of the Hope Valley awaiting attention and I am itching to sew after many many months.

    Oh It's lovely. I too love the wallflower fabric it's such a gorgeous bluey grey.
    Really like the detail on the pockets, I'm not surprised your daughter has given it the seal of approval!

    This is so cute! I agree, the Denise Schmidt is one of my favorites! I've been holding onto a scrap of it for a loooooong time now! I'm waiting for just the right project.

    Good grief I love those Hope Valley fabrics - I'm using them in a quilt top at the moment, but this is such a great use of that pretty wallflower pattern. Love it. I have some of the Kaffe Fassett shot cotton too - it looks like the one that's called Sludge (maybe why you forgot the name...!).
