More Holiday Fun!

 A few more in different fabric choices.... how lovely a little one would look in this selection.

Holiday Fun!

Here are some lovely sets that I have done over the last 6 weeks.... beautiful fabrics in nice bright colours...

Lovely in Lavender....

My version of  "Baby Cakes"...

Soft cream voile with lavender smocking & pink rose trellises... just perfect for a little girl.

The hemline is finished with bud roses every 15 cm around the twin needle trim which was done in pink & lavender to match the neckline...

The sleeves are also smocked & finished with the same pink roses... so dainty..

Ozzie Fun...

It has been a real true Ozzie week... clients have asked for some "Australian" fabric creations so here are 2 all done & ready to post. Covered in Australian animals which are unique to good old 'Oz' DownUnder...

Colourful Fun....

Been having some fun with a lovely pattern... the front bodice is smocked almost to the neckline & the backs cross over & have 2 buttons which hold the dress perfectly... and with matching bloomers & hem edges trimmed with the blue floral fabric, they are ideal for a toddler ..













The black floral with pink is the same pattern but I have added a strip of the plain pink to the top of the bodice & smocked it in black thread to highlight the black floral fabric... the bloomers are plain pink with matching bloomer edges made of the black floral fabric..

Gum Nut Baby Fabric...

Lovely set for a 20-22 inch reborn doll... using Gum Nut Baby 100% cotton fabric... There is a smocked Mopsy hat, bloomers & long smocked gown. May Gibbs is quite well known in Australia for her stories about Gum Nut babies.

A shirt for the little man in your life!

Such a lovely little cream linen shirt made from 45 cm of fabric.... Will fit 6 month old..

Pretty in Pink

Such a pretty combination of pink & dark brown spots with dark brown cupcake fabric... buttoned down the back & with 2 tucks & brown rick rack to highlight the hemline & sleeve edges.. Sized for a 3 - 4 yr ....

Rows of co-ordinating fabrics create a lovely affect..

Made of 100% cottons - this is so pretty with the tiny white dot on chocolate brown & the co-ordinating  light green toile.. the finishing touches of chocolate rick rack around the bottom of the skirt & the brown Daisy's for the bodice & neckline complete it beautifully...

Seeded Cotton with pink Smocking

Another summer dress... smocked bodice with grub flowers around the waist hearts.  Lovely & cool for the hot days ahead..

May Gibbs' Gumnut Babies...

Perfect May Gibbs design with tiny Gumnut babies all over the fabric... Looks so pretty in this smocked bodice dress for a 3 year old.. We even found a matching cup, saucer & teaspoon with the same Gumnuts....

Operation Christmas Child.

The Gladstone Church Craft Group have donated the month of September to make items for the Christmas Child boxes. Here are a few little dresses I have made for the appeal.  The ladies have been wonderful helping with threading elastic into the skirts & shorts, knitting & crochet of bags & beanies. These items are distributed to needy children at Christmas & the shoe boxes contain a multitude of little items for them... thankyou ladies for your help..
