Tunic top

My sister brought me back a couple of sewing books from france and with B's obsession with yellow I had to use this fabric! The square neckline stumped me for ages( I was never good at origami) but I am pleased with the result! Thankfully the lady agrees and is giving it a test run today. I had to take in the neckline at the front and back by making little pleats- I think I could nearly have worn the first attempt so amazingly found a button that went perfectly to go on top! Smiles all round...

iPad and catch up

Christmas has come early- quite literally as I was 'allowed' to buy my Christmas present in the summer holidays!! I have wanted an iPad for ages and after both my parents getting one before me I thought something needed to be done! The only way I could justify it was to have it as an early Christmas present and at this rate the novelty will not have worn off before then...
I have also been working on a few things so photos to bring things up to date- two baby quilts and a cat bag. The bag is my second attempt. After not really measuring the first one it turned out rather bigger than expected so it was back to the drawing board for a more normal size. The conversation with my husband went something like this:
Me: do you like the bag I made for nina?
Him: is it to put her in?
Baring in mind Nina is just one and would have fitted in the bag I thought he might have a point.... However I am pleased with how this one has turned out so all good in the end!
