It's that time of the year again when here at GMHQ, there's a fair amount of making going on, but I can't show & tell all, as most of the makes will be Christmas pressies and I can't take the chance that the recipients may just have a wee peek in here, and spoil their surprise on the big day : - )
But in the midst of the Christmassy prep, I am squeezing in the odd make here & there for little ol' me . . . like these pretty PJs that I finished this afternoon . . .
They're "half 'n half" PJs - the little cami top-half is an adaptation of the Simple Slip by April Rhodes, and the bottom-half is the Rosalind PJs by Sew Me Something.
The sun had gone away by the time I'd finished sewing earlier, so the pics are not great, but the fabric is really so pretty. Both the main and the lovely cerise pink contrast are from the Cherie collection by Art Gallery.
Also ticked off my list (see last post here) . . .
my Date Night Dress - complete with the Simple Slip underneath - and made in the pretty Emmy Grace voile (another lovely AG fabric),
and my scrappy quilt is all put together, and off to Bee Quilted to be quilted : - )
Again, the pic was taken in poor light, with my phone so it really does look much prettier in real life. I'll show you it again once it's all quilted and bound.
Another busy weekend ahead here, so
'til next time
take care & be crafty . . .
xoxo

Love the jammies! I keep saying I am going to start dressmaking again (after a break of many years) but I never quite find the time! I love the colours in your scrappy quilt - looking forward to seeing it once it hass been quilted.

My you have been 'sew' busy. Those PJ's are beautiful. The dress looks wonderful in such pretty fabric and your quilt has got me wanting to have a go at quilting. I have yet to dip my toe into the quilting world.
