My mum received her birthday present the other day so I can now post photos.
I made her the Patricia Tunic Top from Sis Boom which I purchased from You Can Make This.
Now silly me did not consider that it was US sizing DOH! and so the one I made her is wayyyyy too big but I sent it anyway saying she could wear it in the garden and I will make her another one.I also sent her a bag.
Based on the Buttercup Bag (similar to the one I made here) but with some alterations. A few little purses to go with the bag.
I am a getting a little better at self covering buttons but I have yet to get it perfect.
It has a few zip pockets on the inside.
Both fabrics were purchased from the fabric man in Al Khuwair. I stood there for an hour trying to find a contrasting fabric for the tunic top and I left very frustrated and gave up deciding to do it all in one fabric. I have a girls version of the tunic top cut and ready to sew if my darling angels will give me a little peace tonight ... we can but dream ;-)
A friends daughter is going to make her first quilt - how sweet and ambitious given she is 13 - you go girl! So I am just linking back to a previous post HERE for her which listed loads of free quilting patterns. Good luck A!
