Weekend Project

Here's a sneak peak at what I got up to on the weekend.

Another beautiful dress. I just couldn't resist this gorgeous Botanica Collection fabric.  It's just beautiful & fabric feels divine. Oh I love it!! So this time I just knew I'd have to save myself from keeping yet another one of my handmade pieces.  And to make sure it would leave my grasp I knew I'd  have to make it in a size that just would not fit my daughter. Though just the same, I did try squeezing her into it as a top...lol 
Phew!!! It wouldn't fit.  So this gorgeous size 2 dress is now available for sale at www.madeit.com.au/kiddilicious .  There will also be some gorgeous matching hair clips coming real soon.

I hope you all had a magnificent weekend

Sugar & Spice & everything oh so sweet & nice……

Don’t you just love the sweet squeaks of a new born baby, I do. Gets my cluckiness really clucking. A girlfriend had a beautiful baby girl last week & today was Ladies Day to welcome her new daughter into their home. Oh the smells & sounds were just delightful & of course great company, yummy food & the most gorgeous gifts. And so of course this little baby just had to have a kiddilicious pair of bloomers. Luckily I just so happen to have had a pair of new born bloomers already made up. tehehehehe…..



But this morning I decided that I needed to add a little something, so I busily got started on embellishing a little singlet with the baby’s first initial to go with it. So here is the end result.

This gives me such great pleasure to sew from the heart & just for love.

The Dress......

Ok so it took a few weeks but I’m finally there. The Lily Dress is born & totally Princess Bella Approved. Whew!!!!! Easy enough pattern, basic really. So what’s been the hold up I here you ask! Well! It’s the shirring. I don’t know if any of you have given this a go or are experts in the field but as for me I’d never really done any fabric shirring before….and it’s not really all that difficult but what is difficult is the damn sewing machine. Sooooo temperamental arrrrggggghhhhh!!!!! So Google got a massive hit but still to no avail. So I headed off for some expert advice but still; Nothing. So sorry I’d hear them say, most sewing machines just don’t like shirring fabric these days. Grrrrrr!!! Not the answer I’m looking for.
Well I don’t have a modern sewing machine & I’m not about to pass her in just because of some shirring issues & I refuse to give in that easily. I knew it had something to do with the tension & bingo…..Success at last. On my old machine with a front loading bobbin, I set the tension to 6 & the stitch length to 4. It also seems to work with the tension all the way up to 9. YAY!!!
And so here we have the end result & we are happy, happy, happy

Help!!!!

Ok so I’m not as computer savvy as I may at first thought. So I do apologize now for my very amateur & poor attempt of a blog site. Arrrhhh!!! But surly I’ll work it all out soon enough & if not I wont let you suffer in silence, I’ll call for help.
But whilst the page may not be all that pretty, one thing is for sure and that is the information I put on here will be honest & true. So stick around & I’m sure to add a little spice as time goes on.
So thanks for calling in on kiddilicious & I’ll be back real soon. Xx
