PJ's for Miss Mia

So it seems all it takes for a creative burst to happen is have your husband go away for a few days and wha-la! The house is MINE after 7:30pm, child-free and without interruptions (sorry honey)! As the weather is starting to get a bit cooler the need for summer PJ's is slowly slipping away. Miss Mia has grown so much since last winter it was definitely time for some new winter PJ's.

I found this pretty fabric in Spotlight for $12.95/m and only used about 80cm to make these pants. Just a simple elastic waist with wide leg pants for more comfortable sleeping. A matching birdy on the top ($5 from Target) and they look like a designer pair of PJ's without the price tag.

Pretty butterflies

I can't believe it's been 2 and a half months since my last post! So much has gone on, a fair amount of craziness (and crazy "friends" - be gone!) has made life challenging but things are now looking a lot brighter.

After the silly season I've finally got back into sewing again. And it makes me SO happy! Nothing nicer than putting the kids to bed, pouring a glass of wine and sitting down for some creative time.

So.......

I made this gorgeous butterfly dress for my little girl, then immediately had to make one for my goddaughter too. These dresses are so simple and quick to make - 1hr and it's done. And because it's a very light cotton voile, it's perfect for hot Brisbane summers.

I moved straight on to a very cute cotton voile polka dot skirt that looks gorgeous with a white singlet and matching flower corsage.

And finally, instead of more clothes I've added some cute bags to my repertoire. These are a lightweight denim and are perfect for swimming lessons, day care or sleep overs. And completely machine washable for the inevitable disasters.

So there you have it, the last 2.5 months in a nutshell. Looking forward to more experimentation with recipes, sewing, cooking, playing with craft and.......
