Two more bits for my stall at York Board Games Convention in October... I wish I'd had the right shade of orange to do contrast trim on neck and sleeves of the t shirt... maybe next time

And they're done! I used narrow twill tape for the loops because theyre so tiny. Lined the top with cotton lycra in same design. So cute

Jazz asked me to make her a pair of dungerees for her besties baby. Due next month. Daddy is a gamer and Jazz wanted them to match hers. Not quite finished but I had to come to work. Age 3 to 6 months in stretch cord

A trio of dungerees are off to Lancaster tomorrow. These are for one of my first customers. I'm so grateful she came back. Shes got the gorgeous 8 ball design in french terry (stretchy, cosy 95% cotton 5% lycra) a pair of pre loved and a pair from my sale rail. I hope you love them Laura Kenyon xx

Tonights project has been a challenge! Started this at 8.30. Just finished at 11.30. Yesterday I drew 2 patterns. Age 11 for height and an adult S and I've merged them to make this gorgeous pinafore. The sewing was a dream but the pattern drafting has fried my tiny brain. Now we just have to hope I got it right and it fits 🤞🤞

EDIT
It fits! 😁🥰 Photos to follow next weekend

A thing of beauty! Its an Ellie & Mac breezy bodice and a tres belle skirt... with pockets of course and extra length on the torso and arms. Can you guess which flame haired maiden is going to be wearing it at York Board Games Convention... I bet you can't 😏
