Apparently I'm too busy making things to blog about them at the moment...
I've managed to carry on with the 52 week challenge so I'll organise this into weeks again - weeks 9 to 13
Week 9 - Sew something Timeless or Classic
I found a free pinafore dress pattern on the Halla patterns facebook group which is reversible so I made rainbows one side and dinosaurs the other. The instructions were a little confusing, eg there's optional patch pockets but they're not mentioned in the instructions so I only remembered them partway through. The end result looks nice, though my daughter has now decided she doesn't like dinosaurs so she will only wear it rainbow side out!
I also made her a birthday crown (complete with her favourite animal elephant)
Continuing the elephant theme, I made her a dress made from elephant fabric - this is the Beachcomber from Waves & Wild (formerly Made by Jack's Mum). I thought the elephant fabric was jersey, but it's not stretchy enough for the neckband so I'll have to replace it with ribbing at some point. I also have a panel in the same design that I'll probably make into a sweatshirt eventually.
Week 11 - Act of Craftivism
So this is to sew something to support a cause etc. I saw a request on a sewing group for drawstring bags to be used as washbags for patients in the children's hospital, so I made ten over the week and sent them off. I got a lovely card as a thank you.
Week 12 - Sew something for yourself
I made a few things this week - I had some lovely sewing-themed fabric that I wanted to make into a dress for myself (Halla Agnes dress). But also there were a couple of birthdays so my daughter helped me make a rabbit for her friend (Patterns for Pirates Plushie Pals freebie), and I also made some flowers for my mum (tutorial on Facebook here)
Week 13 - Upcycle something
A relative is expecting a baby girl, so I made a dress (Twig + Tale Petal Wrap dress) from an old dress of mine and some needlecord that I got as a gift.
I also made a t-shirt (Halla Stardust) for a charity raffle. TGCGS Charity Fundraising
