Oh dear, I seem to have gone a bit mad with the fabric and pattern buying since starting six weeks ago. I’m one of those sorts of peopl who loves a bargain and can’t quite bring myself to pay full price for most things if it can be avoided. I’ve started buying a few bits of fabric and a handful of patterns off ebay and its so much fun getting parcels in the mail!! Here’s a couple of my latest acquisitions:

These patterns are huge, each one of those are larger than A4 (thats roughly 12×8″) in size and the patterns go from age 2-12!!! That should keep me going for a while!

This fabric will make a pretty little dress for Keziah - look out January, sewing sewing sewing!

Lastly, I have thought about buying one of these for a while now. Its hard to take photos of necklaces on yourself and this was an ebay bargain, under $10. If and when I decide to do any sort of market stalls this will be very handy!

Hi Amanda! I just came across my own (neglected) blog in your blogroll and wanted to say thank you for including me there. I will add your blog to my list now to say thanks. :)

That necklace “display” thing is a good idea. I must have a look on ebay for something similar too.

Thanks again!
Kind regards,
Georgia.

What clever and beautiful creations. You squeeze a lot into the few moments a young mum gets in a day!

Thanks for your note. We passed it along to the sweet gentleman in Florida.

I love the fabric!!

I don’t even LOOK at Ebay, I think it would be too dangerous for me. :-)

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments. Yep, I’m attempting to sew now anyway. The finished product won’t be until sometime in January!

Thanks Rodney, I’ll try to do the meme now.
