last minute rush...

There's been some furious last minute sewing here the past two nights...




I made this skirt last weekend (a Make it Perfect pattern) and have just finished adjusting the ties so I can wear it to the cricket on boxing day (I remembered to shorten the skirt length but not the ties - doh!). And I finally figured out what to make for my little cousins - little appliqued t-shirts! I just bought some plain coloured t-shirts and then free motion appliqued some little pics on the front of them - so simple.

A sunbonnet sue for Bonnie...


A butterfly for Yasmeen...

A bee for Belle...

Ladybirds for Lily...


And a sad kitten who went off to the cattery today for his Christmas holiday.

Tomorrow we are up early for a ROAD TRIP (!) to Melbourne for Christmas with family and friends.
