Dino Tail

A small has had a birthday and what they really, really wanted was a dino tail so I obliged!

Excuse the poor photos, due to the hurry I made this in I did not have a lot of time to do anything beyond a hurried quick snap!

It's made of green fleece with grey fleece to be the spikes!

Gift Purse

The last of my online swap gifts - I made a teeny rainbow dragon purse, beacuse, well, why not?

It's blue satin and lined in white cotton lawn with a nazy zipper!

Lizard was super impressed that it matched her new 'rainbow dollshouse blanket' (an offcut from another project I'll show you another time!).

Gift Pouch

Another gift from ym online swap! 

It's a machine embroidery I got from etsy and I added the name myself.

The outer is black cotton drill and the inner is red lining fabric.  The zipper is black and I'm really pleased with it!

Birthday Dress In 3!

What Katy really wanted for her birthday was to have a dress that matched me and Lizard.  Obviously I obliged!

Matchy Matchy!  We love a bit of matching!

The fabric is a delightful t-shirting print and I still have some leftovers, so there will be some more items made from it!

Katy's dress has a cross over bodice and is fully lined as are the sleeves.  It has a circle skirt and hemming it took as long as making the entire bodice!

 Lizard's dress has a t-shirt style bodice, which is lined and t-shirt sleeves which are not.  It's skirt is a gathered rectangle and it has a ribbon waistband.

 I am so in love with these dresses!

I totally failed to get a photo of mine, so you will have to wait to see it on another day!  But mine has a t-shirt bodice and a 2/3 circle skirt and is unlined.

Don't we all look amazing?

Dr Who Bag

I made this for an online gift swap!  I do love a bit of bag making!

It's made of cottong drill and is unlined.  The embroidery is a free pattern I found online and done by hand.

 It took a while, but I really enjoyed making it!

Unicorn Hood

I made this for a friend's birthday - as you can see, she was quite pleased with it!

It's Choly Knight's free unicorn hood pattern and I made it in pink fleece with a white t-shirting lining, white buttons and purple and yellow flowers to decorate.

I really like how it turned out and one of my rainy day ideas is to adapt it and make myself a deer hood!

Belated Birthday Dress

Dreadful pseudo aunty that I am, my smallest pseudo neice got her brithday present late this year.  Oops?

How pretty did this turn out?  I love the dark orange and white together.

I'm reliably informed that this will be the perfect base of small's festival fox outfit this summer!

Mother's Day Gift

I made this for my Mum!

My Mum really likes gnomes and I couldn't resist this machine embroidery!

He's got hearts on his hat!  How sweet is that?

Of course, every bag needs a lining and when I found this gnome fabric I knew I had everything I needed for my special bag!

Scrap Bunting!

Yes I made tiny bunting for Mr Kit.  Is anyone really surprised?!

I had some purple bias binding so I used that to string it onto.

 I didn't fussy cut the skulls, due to wanting to use as much of the fabric as I could!

I really like how it turned out and I can't wait to see it at the allotment!

A Late Valentine's

I bought Mr Kit some fabric on a whim for Valentine's and last week I finally made good on my promise to make him a cushion!

It's a plain cover with an envelope back, nothing exciting.  That said it looks good next to a similar cushion I bought him for Christmas and my sofa is definitely developing a new theme!

I'm trying to be better about using up scraps so next week you can see what else I made!

Get Well Soon Patches

My Gran has been in hospital recently and as I live a ways away I sent her some daft patches, to cheer her up!

This one is sewn in varigated thread and says Super Gran!  (It's annoyingly hard to read.)

The bee is a free embroidery file I found somewhere (sorry, I forget where, I wasn't at my best when I was making these) and I love it!

Thankfully Gran is back at home now.  Love you Granny x

Homemade Chocolates

Not all my crafts go to plan!  We had a go at homemade chocolates and the results were tasty, but not particularly photogenic!

That said, someone enjoyed making and taste testing!

Entire Courting Gift

And here are all the bits together!

Added in are a lotion bar and some little rose hair clips, plus a load of dried rose petals!

I love how it all looks together!

And this is it all tied up together, how I presented it on the night!

I want to make more of these, it was so much fun!
