bea and i had quite a lovely morning over the weekend looking in on some very choice opportunities at the Burleigh Heads RSPCA op-shop. i was very close to nabbing those orange storage containers but was stunned to see quite a hefty price tag! i must say, there are not as many really thrifty shops as there used to be.we did find some nice old sheets and pillowcases for stashing but i did restrain myself for the most part mainly (only) because i only had a tiny bit of cash ($10). what i did also find - actually what i originally set out to find - was a very nice plate with pretty flowers on it which i do have some fun plans for. . .
well, off to do some sewing! i'm horribly behind in birthday sewing and as a result also behind in christmas gift making. i've cut out the pattern for a quilted bodice dress for bea's birthday. it is from the book Carefree Clothes for Girls by Make Good Books, which is a series of japanese craft books translated to english.
image sourcei want to make every article of clothing in this book and then make bea wear these articles every day, forever. i will have to work fast though because the sizing is so japanese that my almost 3 year old necessitates size 6 in this book! she is a little big for her age but size 6?
so if you think your 1 year old is going to be too small for any of these patterns (they are all made in sizes 4-7) think again! you could probably start sewing now, but without the seam allowance.
OK! off i go. . .
