Meet Dolly……..
Meet the newest addition to my sewing room, her name is Dolly {yes I name all my major items in my sewing room} Isnt she just divine?! I have been hankering after a dress makers dummy for years!! One of my habby shops had them out on special & my wonderful hubby took me shopping!!! 
She is fully adjustable from a size 10 to 16 height adjustable & also has a hem marker for nice straight even hems! I cant wait to try her out.
I did unpack her when we got her home to check her out & see how she worked but she has gone back into the box for now, lots of Sewing Fairy orders on the go but once they are clear I will be bringing her out again & making some thing for me
Happy Sewing

Bloomin Roses
I love the colours of the roses on this fabric. Wish I could have those coloured roses in a garden wouldnt they look fabulous?
I love this sytle of bag, & its so quick to make. I made 3 of them in one day.This also is for a celebrity only I dont know who yet. I posted 11 bags off to the Dilly Bag company & have to wait until they decide on who gets which bag. I wil let you all know as soon as I know 
Need to make more after I go on another fabric shopping spree. 
I have been “shopping my stash” the last couple of weeks & really enjoying the challenge of finding matching fabrics.
Happy stitching

Springtime Tote
With the fabric I used how could it be called anything but Springtime Tote??
I love the colours & am so impressed with the way this bag turned out. Nice & roomy on the inside without being bulky on the outside.
The green works so well I feel. Its a really happy/cheerful colour. What do you think?
Happy Stitches

New bag style
I played around last week & came up with this style of bag, & funnily enough I had the perfect fabric for it out in the sewing stash.
This is a special bag for another reason the recipient is a very special person that I will reveal soon
Future Stars of the silver screen
Well what a night it was, last night was our schools annual concert & award night. Soooo much hard work goes into this by both teachers & students, but the results are awesome!!!
Every year I offer my sewing skills to the class’s that my kids are in for costumes, props etc. This year I made 8 dresses, 16 sleeves & a 5mt curtain with the word Censored on it. Everything turned out awesome I feel. The kids really put the effort in with practise, making props etc so I feel they deserve to have great costumes.
this is my DD’s class they acted out the song “The Streak”
this is my DS’s class they acted out “6 white boomers”
Well done kids you were all fantastic & thankyou all for the choccies, wine & card you gave me
Cheers
Tina
what do you get…………..
When you cross your childs/ren class item for the end of year school concert , meters & meters of fabrics, giggling kids & a sewist???????
A messy sewing room is what you get ROFL plus lots of happy kids, a frazzled sewist & some great looking costumes (if I do say so myself ) No photos yet going to wait till the BIG night next Wednesday & then I will share.
I do love doing the concert costumes for them after all they do all the practise & earn them so why not have good looking costumes I say. Everything I have made this year has been done with no patterns just scissors, a good eye & the machines!!!
Johns Apron
Jacob’s Nan asked me if I would do an adult apron for Jacobs dad as they do everything together & Jacob loves to dress the same as Dad.
Of course I obliged & very happily. We did it the same colour as Jacobs.
I think it may be a father’s day pressie for John, unless it gets the better of Di & he gets it early LOL
