Yummy fabric!

The kids and I arrived home from our walk this morning, to find a parcel with these gorgeous fabrics inside!

The green fabric on the left is to try and complete a wrap skirt for me, the one in the middle is going to be an accent fabric on a pair of shorts for Billy. The Pink will most likely end up as a dress, and I haven't worked out the others yet!

Ooh, pretty fabric!

I have been so busy with my market sewing recently that I have had little time for more "fun" sewing. Now that I am pretty much ready for my first market (on Sunday) I thought it was about time to feel inspired again. I bought three dress PDF patterns last night (one is on back order!) and two shorts/pants and top pattern along with the following fabric this morning.

The two fabrics below will be the "Little Mod Dress" (picture further down). The fabric on the left is for the body and the cats on the right are for the yoke.

These next two will become "Raglan Shift Dresses" (with short cap sleeves, not the long sleeves pictured) for Miss Gulli because every little lady needs more dresses than she has time to wear!

How sweet are the birds!

A couple of patterns happened to "fall" into my possession too... I am really looking forward to trying the shorts pattern on the Oliver+s one.

Gulli's hair before her haircut...

Gulli's hair after... Unfortunately it does look like the ringlets are gone, but there is still a soft curl which is very sweet.

Gulli has started to sing her favourite songs, including "Crinkle, crinkle little star", "headshoulerkneetoes", and "Bee bee bumba bee". With Bee bee we all tap our knees in time with the words, and Lol Lol has taken to tapping along with us. He has also started to wave, so cute!

It's taken me a while to get this fabric onto my blog, but finally here it is. My order from the US.

These are stretch knits...

And cords...
