I can't believe it's December and that Christmas is just around the corner. Today I am announcing the final theme for sewpony sew-alongs.  Since it's December, the theme is #sewponyholiday.  I like to make my girl's a new dress each Christmas but I don't want them to be unwearable outside of the Christmas week.  I have some pretty in mind for Christmas and will be making a start on them this week.  If you would like to sew along with the theme, please tag your makes on IG with the hashtag by December 31st to have the chance to win one sewpony PDF pattern.  Congratulations to Fleur  who won the sewpony superstars vote for their favourite creation for the November theme of #sewponychild with this gorgeous Issie top. A sewpony pattern is coming your way.

Contrary to most of my readers, in Australia, our Christmases are hot! 

My good friend Jenya from While she was sleeping, also lives in Australia and her family, like mine, spends a lot of time by the water. Jenya made her daughter a cosi swimsuit from some cool stripey fabric she had leftover from a cosi she made the same daughter over four years ago.  You can see it here.  

I hope you can join in for the final sew along and maybe make something special for Christmas!
