The weather in my part of the world the past few weeks has been cold, wet and dreary.  Today was a perfect day for some sewing.  The girls were happily playing lego and setting up a café in the kitchen while my Mum and I spent some time sewing in my sewing room.  


Emily spent some of her pocket money yesterday at Spotlight on this gorgeous tiger iron on transfer.  I told her I would make her a new top for it to go on.  I was lucky yesterday to also find this pretty apricot stretch jersey at the op shop - the perfect match for the sweet little tiger.  I used my Issie pattern.  This is a size 7 (I usually make Emily a size 6) so it is a bit roomy but will fit her next year too.

Today my two big girls enjoyed a student free day and I decided I needed to make something for Isabella using one of my stretch fabrics. She loves to wear comfortable clothes and prefers to wear leggings and a top rather than a woven dress these days. I don't like seeing my girls in store bought clothes for the majority of the time, so it is time for me to start sewing some more every day clothes.
