...and here is one (exactly as I imagined) on my latest bag, which is an order to become a gift for someone!
I got my labels through Apparel Labels, the same place as Lilly's school clothes labels which have been great. And can you see the cute tea cup hiding in the background, its new, did I need it?- no, but it was a bargain at $25 and I couldn't resist it!
I recently won a comp just for submitting a photo to the inspiration gallery of something I had made after I had purchased fabric or patterns from Kelani. The prize was a $25 gift voucher. I got some more gorgeous Sandi Henderson Farmers Market and the Make It Perfect - Versatile Wrap pattern, which obviously came to more than $25 but you get that! I think the best thing about Kelani is the free postage together with the personal service and quickest delivery, the prices compare with anything available here in Australia at the moment. Thanks Elissa.
These are for Charlie that match Ella's outfit. It's the same old Burda pattern that everyone (my sewing friends listed below that for some reason are not listed below anymore!) is loving at the moment. These ones are a size 4, I'd say they will be a little bit too big for Charlie.
I love this material, why can't they make stuff like this again these days!
I said I'd make a pair of Sesame Street shorts for her son, which are cut ready to go. And with the bits left over I made this Simplicity skirt and matching ruffled singlet in size 6. She also handed me this doily which I added as an apron.
The idea for the ruffled singlets came from my friend Bianca, who makes the most amazing stuff with Maria. 
The sheet was actually a Sheridan one and in perfect condition apart from being a little faded. I'd say there is enough left to make another skirt/singlet outfit or a small bag. I hope you like it Ella!
...not so sure about this one! The white apron looks better in normal light (not so shiny) though and I love the blue and green retro floral which I've used before.
...with what seems to be my favourite red spot for the waistband and a gorgeous old doily for the apron! I didn't cut this doily at all when making the dress. It is just slipped under the waistband, so when little Miss outgrows it, I should be able to unpick and retrieve the doily intact. I am not too sure what the person who made it would say, seeing all those hours of work tacked onto a dress that will no doubt be well worn and loved! But then again, I wasn't the one who dumped it in the Op shop...at least it is getting a second chance at life!
...and here is the really cute but tired little girl modelling it... thankyou my gorgeous girl!
So they were scattered, actually dumped in one big clump over the top of the pansies and this is what happened.
This is a bag for my Mum, she got the very first official Glam Green Bag (thanks again Milly) and needs another! So she picked the material on a recent trip to Spotlight with me and tonight I made it for her. Love you Mum. I wish I had photos of the stuff my Mum used to make when I was little, she was so clever (would still be, but has no time for sewing these days...stay tuned for what she is sooo clever at now in a post to come).
This Spotty Leopard is already sold! It seems to be a favourite. And in the background you can see my cool not-so-new dresser I've added to my sewing room. I am yet to tidy it up and display all my pretty stuff on it. 
And this Retro Summer Chocolate Check (which I've done a couple of times before) is up for grabs. It's listed in my SHOP!
