Alfie

This is what I did yesterday at the sewing club..Oh, I haven't told you about the sewing club yet! Next post, I promise.

Anyway, this is Isabella's birthday (5) present! Alfie is her dog and he looks just like that :)



And then I got a sweet thank you from her...I think it means she liked the present ;)

Like a kid in candy shop...

At least that's what I felt when I was shown this:

and guess what...it's mine now!!! The "shop" aka as sewing machine and the "candies" aka fabric!!!

Thanks Kim

2 dresses

..one made by me and one made by my sister.
Yes, she made her own wedding dress!!! Isn't it so beautiful???





And I made my dress...you probably can't see it very well from the picture, but there are two pockets in the front. I made the two seams (darts) in the front go all around to my hips and that makes the pocket.



Her wedding was last month in Germany, where she is living.

Tschüßi
