Two little outfits for a little girl!

Well I have been a busy Mumma - I received a huge box of size 2 girls clothes from a friend for Amelia and therefore there was no need to sew any dresses for Amelia! (Much to my disappointment as you could imagine)

So armed with a few new patterns from the recent half price sale at Spotlight I decided to make a few little outfits to say a BIG THANKYOU!

Simplicity 3856 - Twirly skirt with embroidered top

Simplicity 4147 - Skirt with Yoyo embellished Top (this one reminds me of the Rara skirts my Mum made me in the 80's)

And what is going on with my machine? I have only got it serviced a few months ago - but this is the result when I want to zigzig - It is like it has a fit or something!

  1. What a lovely way to say thank you Kylie, I am sure the gifts will be appreciated. Not sure about your zigzag stitch, sorry.
    I LOVED rara skirts and lots and lots of them!

  5. Kylie the outfits look great. My machine does that sometimes too with zig zag. It's like it skips a stitch or two all of a sudden

  6. Thnaks for the comment Kylie!!! I'm from a farming back ground and with the way that the weather has been lately any rain is good rain, just like you said...
