May Sewing Projects

It seems silly to get excited about fabric but I was a little excited when my Amy Butler fabric came in the mail last week.

I'm still not sure what to make with it, it's got so much potential in it's current form but when I cut it cup and make it into something then that's it...

I also bought some patchwork squares that I am going to make into a skirt for Kimberly, I've been wanting to make her a patwork skirt for a while but can't be bothering cutting the fabric into squares so I got some Amy Butler fabric pre-cut.





























I made a skirt with matching pants with the kewpie doll fabric, I didn't make the pants till late so no photos but this has become a new favourite for Kimberly whcih makes me very happy.

After being inspired by the lovely bag patterns from the Amy Butler site I decided to have a go at making a bag. This is the result of my first attempt, next time I will make the straps thinner I don't think this will be hard as I made the pattern from scratch.
