Hooray!!! I managed to get a lot of sewing done this week!  Big thanks to baby Hannah for this accomplishment!

Firstly ... I made my first ever peasant top.  I'm quite happy with it, apart from one minor hiccup that I blogged about on my Things I Learnt Thursday #2 post this week.  I won't go through the whole embarrassing mix up again, just click the link if you want to know.

 There's also a link in the above mentioned link (too many links??? lol) to the great tutorial for this top.

So now Hannah has another cute outfit consisting of top, bottoms & cute headband.  I made the headband from a pair of stockings that Hannah never stayed small enough to actually wear!  Credits for the headband go out to Little Birdie Secrets for their terrific Easy Stretchy Baby Headband Tutorial & Craft Snob for a super easy fabric flower tutorial.  

 

Secondly...... yesterday, I whipped up a peasant dress!  They are so nice and easy.... I LOVE nice and easy!!!

I used the same pattern as the peasant top above, but simply added some extra length... and remembered to add casing for the sleeves.  My plan is to make a matching nappy cover and headband and possibly even a broach.  If anyone knows of a good broach tutorial, I'd be ever grateful!!

I'm slowly finding more and more great Australian bloggers out there and I'm thrilled to be finding heaps more Aussie sewing blogs.  Do you have any other suggestions?  I'd love to hear them :)

I'll be linking up at all the fantastic linky parties listed here or you can click on my linky party tab at the top of the page.
