Ball Gown

Hi

Hope everybody is keeping warm and well.  We are having a lazy day today, although I am going to make a bag with a pattern I bought at the Craft 4 Crafters exhibition at West Point Exeter a couple of weeks ago.     Below is a photo of a dress I made when   hubby was in the Royal Navy and we were attending a summer ball.  This dress is boned and the fabric is Taffeta I really enjoyed making this dress.  It was my really first big challenge of making my own dress as I had up to that point only ever made clothes for the girls when they were little, it took 3 days to make and I am so proud of what I achieved and had lots of comments asking where I had bought it.



I made this little elephant for a friend who had a baby girl last year Sophie drags it everywhere with her and takes him to bed at night.


Below is a photo of my darling great granddaughter Darcy Rose who is now 1 years old
She is the delight of my life


 This is my first attempt at a quilt that is larger than a cot quilt the actual size is for a king size single bed which basically the same size as the top of a double bed with no overhang.  I bought the pattern about two/three years ago.  This is for Darcy for when she goes into a single bed, wanted to make sure it was finished for the big day.

I certainly learned a few lessons making this one and the biggest lesson was to use quilt as you go as it was really difficult trying to quilt this on the sewing machine, I hand stitched the applique onto the quilt and made my own binding to go around the quilt.


this little cutie pie is my desk buddy he sits on my desk in my craft room next to the computer.


Bye for now

Sinunod ko ang mga tagubilin na ibinigay niya sa iba pa upang maibalik ang aking kasintahan na iniwan ako at ang mga bata sa loob ng 3 taon ngayon, ngunit salamat kay Dr Akhere dahil bumalik sila sa akin ngayon para sa kabutihan at masaya kaming magkasama. mangyaring makipag-ugnay sa kanya para sa tulong din kung may problema sa relasyon sa pamamagitan ng email sa: AKHERETEMPLE@gmail.com o tumawag / whatsapp: +2349057261346.
