Welcome to January, a fresh new year! Have you chosen your New Years Resolutions? :o)
This month's Sew Box Subscription Box - Summer Days theme - has been LOTS of fun! I have learnt ANOTHER new skill... sewing with KNIT fabric!! I was quite scared but the fabulous pattern made it easy and not only that but Leesa from Sew Box ran a sew-along on the Made By Me page so it was great to ask questions and have the extra guidance and tips to make the dress.
First of all I will show you what was in the box! (The most exciting part!!)
Here are the fabulous items included in this month's box!
- Coastal Breeze Dress Pattern by Make It Perfect
- Make It Yourself Beach Bag Pattern by 4girlsdesigns
- 1m x Anchors Away navy cotton fabric
- 1/2m x Beachhouse Richloom Solar fabric
- Packet of Birch Wonderclips
- 3m x Navy Bias Binding
- Mixed coconut shell buttons
- 1m x Navy satin ribbon
- Fabric offer and discount from Zebra Fabrics - perfect for the Coastal Breeze Dress
Everything (as usual) was gorgeous and I have had LOTS of fun! Here is the Coastal Breeze Dress I made for myself, I am so happy with how it turned out and proud that I have now sewn with knit fabric, yay!! It was actually really easy and no problem at all sewing with this fabric, I don't know what I was so worried about. I am so excited that I finally made something for me, now I feel like making something else for me too! It's nice to sew something other then kids clothes :o)
The navy anchor fabric is just so pretty and I decided to turn it into a sweet little anchor set for my littlest daughter. I made her this sweet little skirt and I embellished a store bought white top with an anchor, I love how it turned out :o)
After I made this set, I decided to make another 2 sets for my friend who has a sweet little 2 year old, here they are...
Here is the adorably sweet little princess wearing the cute outfits I made! LOVE!!!!
What have you been busy creating? :o)
Happy sewing!!
Love Chryssie xo
