Holiday Update

As most of you know Amelia and I are on holidays in sunny Queensland!

Amelia has been getting lots of cuddles from her Grandma and Grandpa and two sets of Great Grandparents (How lucky is she!)

I have also had the chance to do a little sewing and some knitting.

The reason for our visit was the celebrate the up and coming wedding of my cousin and his wife to be. It was a lovely night and the first time in 18 years that all of us cousins have been together! For the occasion I did a little sewing.

An outfit for Amelia. Made from a thrifted 1974 Simplicity pattern that I had to do a little moderfications to (the front of the top was not included so I had to draft my own!) Ingrid, notice the fabric of the top - it was the piece that you have me in our christmas swap.And a picture of the two of us

And this is the scarf that I have doing! It is so fluffy and warm and I can not wait to get back to Victoria so I can actually wear it and not be in a sweat!Moda Vera Wool - 100% tencil/acrylic
Size 8mm knitting needles
Open stitch design!
And a picture of the detail

  2. The top look great! I am glad you found a use for the fabric. And I think that pattern is very similar to one I used that was mssing pieces too. I guess that's the thrill of sewing vintage, it makes you take risks and do something new.
