This is one project I'm really excited about. The theme for my daughter's second birthday is "RAINBOWS" and I'm making her this dress!

My main issue is that I don't have many scraps...I've decided to buy 2-3 fabrics for each colour and just alternate round the dress. There's a great tutorial for this style of dress here http://indietutes.blogspot.com/2007/05/patchwork-circle-skirt.html

SEWING: It's Giveaway Day!

Sew Mama Sew does a giveaway day every so often, where they organise about a kazillion blog giveaways into one place. I'm so excited to enter them this year! Last year I found so many new blogs, at least a dozen of which are now on my 'read everyday' list!

Here's my first new blog that I feel affinity to: a la mode fabric. Heather is exactly the type of quilter I'd like to become! Her designs are modern and full of life. Although hexagons indimidate me, I can't stop looking at hers!!!
