I used a selection of different green fabrics to create leaves which I then attached to a bib. Extra felt leaves then were added to around the neckline and waist.

Tinkerbell for World Book Day
This year's World Book Day was made slightly easier with Finn deciding to become Willy Wonka again. Sophie however wanted to be Tinkerbell. I went for the easy option by making her a apron style costume.
I used a selection of different green fabrics to create leaves which I then attached to a bib. Extra felt leaves then were added to around the neckline and waist.
I added some felt cuffs and fake shoes with a white wool pom-pom and bought a pair of white fairy wings!

Beachhut Quilt for Sarah
It's been a while! Working full-time limits the opportunities I have to make - which is why when I decided to make a quilt for Sarah's birthday I gave myself plenty of time.
Several months later I finally finished. The simple design provides a great way to show off Sarah Watson's Bird's Eye View collection for Cloud 9. I'm lucky to have Ray Stitch round the corner from work so I could pick up the fat quatrers during my lunchtime.
I used some left over block against some solid brown for the backing.
I hope she likes it. It'll be another 6 months before I make another one!
