Not just another pretty purse

Super gorgeous, and totally functional too!

Inside is a phone pocket, a zippered space for smaller bits & pieces and a key fob (I can never find mine in my bag).

We definitely need two of these at our house, one for the front door and one for the back door.

Skirt with Hidden Elasticised Waist

Elasticised waists are the most comfortable thing evah, but they're not the most attractive look in the world, now are they?

Must try this one...

Turn a Round Tablecloth into a Skirt!

I don't know how many times I've seen a tablecloth and thought the pattern was wasted under the plates & spills.

Thank you wipster, I love this idea!
I'm going right out now to buy me a new tablecloth skirt  :D

Baby Kimono

Wren just turned ten, which was a bit of a shock to the system, I can tell you.

So I no longer have babies, but I can start planning what my grandchildren will wear, can't I??

Back-To-School Pleated Skirt

Can't fit into your old school skirt anymore?

Don't worry, as the solution is at hand...

Seriously though, this pattern is for kids sizes (I'll keep looking, though).

Ladies Raglan Top

Love this top!
It's so different, and it certainly doesn't look like it was made at home.

Some stretch sewing involved, but it doesn't look too hard...

Lickety Split Bag

Love the vibrant fabrics used in these bags.

Their 'messy' look really suits the casual style of the bags' design.

Girl's Balloon Dress

I have to admit that I've always thought the bubble skirt (or ballon skirt) is the stupidest look on the planet, for a woman.


But isn't this little girl's dress just the cutest?
