I think this is a first!

Brianna fell asleep at the edge of the bed the other afternoon – I’m not sure what she was doing – but it was too cute to not take a photo of :)

Lots of Sewing!!

I bought a new sewing machine this week!!! But it hasn’t arrived yet :( Hopefully it will either today or tomorrow – but I’ve been going sewing crazy in anticipation (I have a machine that belongs to a friend at the moment)

I picked up some sensational buys at scaafs last week (remnants were 50% off already reduced prices). I got 1×1.35M of funky denim for $6.25 and made a skirt for me, a skirt for binna and a reversible bag for me! (pics below)

I finally got around to doing a reconstruction on a denim skirt I picked up from an op shop ages ago in a “fill a bag for $10″ bundle. It made a super cute skirt for ellia and the inside of the bag.

I also got a remnant that was 2.5m x 1.35m of a very cool stripey cord fabric and made a skirt for heidi (no photos, forgot to take one before she left!), a matching bag for her and one for her husband too (he was having bag jealousy so I made him a “man-bag” to match hers – don’t know if he’ll actually ever use it tho! ;) )
