Hello,
I have had a bit of fun in the sewing room over the past week or so.
 |
| "Bah Humbug Tea Towel." |
Now apparently Bah Humbug means you don't like Christmas the saying comes the fictional character Ebinizer Scrooge in the Charles Dickens novel "A Christmas Carol" No one likes doing dishes at Christmas so I thought I would have some fun choosing the Christmas fabric and then the ladybug fabric for the words bug. I had digitized these letters which are "Copperplate" style a few years ago.
The tea towels came in a pack of two so the other one got a basket of flowers on it. This design is on my machine. I then added some butterfly hearts.

| "Style Pattern 3942 child's size 2." |
I still have all my sewing patterns from when our children were small. They are now being used for the next generation. This is a handy little pattern as it has cross over straps, which if they are a bit long you can just cross over the straps again to make the outfit fit better. I remember doing this with my girls. I did have a HUGE amount of trouble getting two button holes the same. I had practiced on some scraps, all OK did the first one so well. Then the next one played up. (several times.) I gave up and added good old Velcro. This is why there are two buttons at the top to cover up the buttonholes. I couldn't be bothered un -picking the good one.
I must mention here that
Sally was a great help in providing some elastic measurements for this project. Thanks Sally.

I had just enough fabric to make this little romper suit, I did have to have a join in the back lining but that doesn't really matter. What fun I had with this pattern. I had the pattern and no instructions. The thing that flawed me for a while was how the bottom flap section all joined up. I managed to work it out after a lot of pinning.
It was great fun working on little people's outfits. I could get used to sewing them again
Hope everyone is getting lots of sewing done, it has been the perfect weather for it, not too hot or cold.
Happy days.
Bev C.

Hi Bev,
What great dish towels and love your adorable dress and roper. Making baby and children outfits are fun to make.
Thanks for your comment. I will try to save a few of the yellow, red and orange. They were the ones that got a lot of attention of the butterflies.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Blessings!

Even I would grin while drying the dishes if I used that tea towel, Bev. Good thinking!
