Introducing ...

 ... a fully dressed Miss Posy and her partner-in-crime Ruby Blue.

After six months of procrastination her dress was finished in about 30 minutes. I don't know why I kept putting it off.  Ruby Blue has been completed since January and had also been keeping Miss Posy company in the cupboard.  Both are made from the same pattern, however for some reason Ruby Blue has ended up slightly larger than Miss Posy. They are both very glad of the chance to sit outside and get their ears blown around in the wind today.

Have a fabulous weekend.

Planning, Starting & Finishing

I haven't been sitting idle while my machine is away - tempting as it is to laze around with a good book and hot cups of tea.

Geranium/pelargonium cuttings have been potted up ready to take root for summer planting.  Unfortunately I can't remember what colour flowers each will have so it will be a surprise come summer.

Earlier this year I made a linen rabbit from Helen Phillips book Simple Sewn Gifts.  This poor rabbit has been put away in my cupboard - partially undressed, waiting for me to finish her dress.  I figured if I blog about it - this will give me the motivation to finish her - so watch this space.

I bought a skirt pattern the other day - I have had a small picture of it ripped out and pinned to my notice board for about 6 months,  so I finally got it.  This year I will try sewing clothes for me again - I used to do a lot in my early twenties.  Now just to find some nice fabric for it.

Finally I have been looking for inspiration to use this pretty bundle of Simply Style eyelet fabric - I am looking at making another cushion for me. I keep coming back to either this Paletina pillow or a pinwheel cushion inspired by this mini quilt.
