The shelf has now been relocated to inside Danielle's wardrobe, but still easy to access.
A dress for Danielle. Made from a fleecy cotton fabric I picked up from the Sallies shop for $1 a few years back. I lined it with a green t-shirt that didn't really work for me and scrappy leftovers for the pockets.
A merino dress for me. I bought this fabric for $10 from a local merino factory shop a few years back. I made the pattern up using an existing dress I have (and got the idea from a friend who'd already made several).
A tunic top for Danielle using a large size top I found at the Hospice shop. I worked to keep the cross over neck line and waist band.
I have a few overnight trips coming up soon and really wanted to make a funky bag to take my stuff away in (I only have one of those generic black overnight bags). This is a piece of heavy-weight (upholstery?) cotton fabric I bought for cheap a few years back. Very pleased to have a suitable project for it (I also have a piece the same in turquoise). I scoured the net for ideas that were simple enough and didn't require a zip.
I found a large authentic leather plaited button in my button stash that was perfect for the closure.
A pinboard for Danielle's birthday. She'd been asking me for a board for several months, so I decided to make a colourful one to match her bedroom. I used ink and stamps to put the flower prints on, and bought a range of ribbons and flowers to embellish it with.
