I have loved making dresses for my nieces lately. This is the latest.
My Sister-in-Law (mother of all neices) loves them too .. apparently she has received comment after comment in the playground ... so she has given me an order..
Purses for: Niamh, Hannah, Amy, Mae, Eve, Maisey, Connie, Patience, Hope, and Harmony (the latter three are sisters). Apprently, Patience, and Mae are names which are difficult to find on "things" so those purses are to include those embroidered names.
A dress for Megan
An embroidered bag for Audrey
Hairclips for all.
Here are the first 2 purses ...
They are triangular, made following this tutorial. Between these and PG Tips, I was inspired to make new soap nut "t-bags" in the same shape ...

Well no wonder you have zillions of orders - they're fantastic! I'm off to check out that tutorial now - that'll be another one for the folder of 'stuff' ;-) x
PS Gina's parcel is fab.
OMG!!! Had to come back and say that Nicole Mallalieu Design tips and tutorials page is BRILLIANT! Thank you so much! x
I've just had to print off that tutorial - beautiful! Don't you just love making things for little girls (that's what happens when you've only had boys!) Enjoy the book!
Gorgeous sewing...not surprised you're going to be busy. And lovely parcel from Gina, lucky you. The Poisonwood Bible is in my pile to read too.
The dress is absolutely beautifu, you clever thing. What an amazing order too - so much!
We have the same kitchen scissors - my sister brought them back from Paris for me four years ago. x
Wonderful sewing - making things for tiny girls is just gorgeous!!
Lovely parcel, you lucky person. Is Mr MK really a fireman? Gosh. What a complete hero.
I can understand why u r getting orders....and the cherry fabric is so sweet
Very sweet. How lucky to have a fashion-designing aunt.
The cherry print dress is very cute, and what a long list of sewing recipients!

ps. I've tagged you on my blog. I hope you don't mind!
that dress is jsut adorable, love the fabric.
Isnt it strange how sewing is back in vogue. I come from a family of dressmakers, we all had matching dresses etc. I'm sure I'm not alone!
