I always love to see the customs from other countries on the blogs I follow and so I thought I would share some of mine!
I try and buy a beautiful decoration each year. My favourites are the fairies, yet I am wondering if I should make a new one each year instead!?!?
After being spotted on the #GBSB, a few friends I had lost touch with managed to get back in contact with me. One was a lovely friend called Claire, who I was delighted to find lived really close to me and now has two adorable children. Her husband owns the sewing machine and fabric shop in our town- UK Sewing Machines and when I called in to buy a twin needle I spotted this!
I thought it would be perfect for a 6 month old baby girl and having made a few for the Arabella Colection 2014
and the Arabella Collection 2013 it is my favourite pattern. It is really quick to sew too, so it was finished within 3 hours without Claudia, Patrick or May passing comment!
I love the knots to tie it with….I hope it fits! Of course everything now has a label!
Fabric: 0.5m of cotton
Pattern: New Look 6793 (similar version )
Wonky Factor : it has to be a 10/10 because it is so cute!

I bet you’re so enjoying sewing without the deadlines now 🙂 The dress looks lovely, and what an unexpected bonus of appearing on TV, getting back in touch with an old friend. Hope you’re enjoying a lovely Easter!

Delightful post, and Happy Easter to you, too!
Like your tree & the Spring fairies. Do I understand properly – you’ve made them? If so, would love the pattern. They’re so cute & a nice custom I hadn’t seen. Fairies don’t seem to cross the pond too often. 🙂
How lovely that you’ve reconnected with a friend, and such an adorable little dress you’ve made! (Nice labels – congratulations).

I definitely think you should. Although I have spent years looking for branches like this! Managed to find them in a small florist shop and when my mum saw them she said: “Oh I have some like that in the garage!!!!”

Bless her😄. Are those lovely personalised tags from Sewdirect? I have been dithering about getting some. Are they worth it?
