Ruffles

Ok, the small girl will not look at the camera, and for some unknown reason decided to poke her tongue out in EVERY photo taken today but I have decided to make the best of a bad situation and post the photos anyway...



Karen put me onto this cute pattern by Frog Legs and Ponytails.  It's their Carson Ruffle shirt and I knew I had to make it when I saw it!



The PDF pattern was easy to put together and super easy to sew.  I used Emily Bloom fabrics from Spotlight .  This is a size three so I hope it fits for a little while.

It is meant to be a shirt but it looks SUPER cute over her white terry knickers with her white shoes!  Nice and cool for this heat wave too.




Our resident Sparky in training finally got around to wiring in the two new lights I wanted and moved a light switch for me.  My brother has just stared his second year as an apprentice but is already hard to con into working at home...

  4. Oh good luck with the photos - my eldest daughter went through a phase of "i'm not a photo taken girl" from about aged 2-5, even PreSchool photos were a bit touch & go & zero santa shots for the early 2000s.
    The dress is lovely, must check out those fabrics. Love Posie
