Well I did have a crazy day looking after four kiddies... I was very tired by the end of it all. But as I knew once they arrived I would have no time to do any sewing once they arrive I drove into a cupcake dress, and seriously it took 20 mins start to finish including cutting. Easy, quick and super cute. I used for the main part some fabric I had lying around, beautiful mermaids, not sure what the brand or designer but I got it from Spotlight, plus I have seen it on line so must be common. Then I teamed it with some cheapo stars and spots and a bit of purple ribbon. The top again was from T&T. $4 who really can argue. So the idea was from Toni Coward and her fantastic new book, avaiable from her blog, http://www.makeitperfect.com.au/. She has other patterns as well, which are so easy to follow, I am a fan!
And I used my new Amy Butler book last night and cut out most of a pattern once the kids were in bed, making it from the same materials as my Birdie Sling bag, I figure I will have a birthday or something so I can give it away... Though trying to pluck up the courage to take some of my work to a craft market, so it could I guess be an item to add to the market
Oh Super cute dress. Well done you. I had to laugh at your blogging/being naked comment. Good on you. I've only been bloggin since Jan last year so I'm a new-bee too.
