sewing for summer

i don't like January much, so in a bid to sew away the January blues i've been busy in my sewing corner this week, having pulled some fabric out the stash, i piled it up in the corner & left the machine out, prompting me to get on & finish what i start


first up i made a little birthday present for one of G's friends, 


a quick skirt, made using some Tanya Whelan fabric from her Darla range (i think i bought it ages ago in hobby-craft!)


a little cotton lace along the bottom & there you go!


of course i couldn't stop there & set about making a few summer bits for little O, i'll be back soon with some pictures next week

    Sweeeet! Love the fabric...reminds me of summer days. I'm planning to strike up an intimate relationship with my (almost unused) sewing machine very soon. Scary. x

    Ah it's gorgeous, and I love the fabric.
    It'll soon be February, though I dislike that month so I long for March!!
