here we have the spring collection :)

so, here we go
first up, the first top i made with the serger mummy bought me for my birthday. it's a kimono style top, and i took a photo of it with the skirt i made, coz i was going to wear them both for granny's funeral, but decided i needed a cardigan so wore the skirt with plain pale pink.

(granny would have loved it, she hated it when people were all in black at a funeral, she said we were celebrating someone's life, not mourning.)it looks a bit crumpled coz i had to pull them out of the laundry for the photo.
next up is the second atempt at the kimono style, much better, but this time it ended up a bit too big over the bust, so i have to wear a camisole underneath for work :)

then i made this one

it's exactly the same as a top i have already, so i can't take any credit for it, except putting the 2 fabrics together!
then this one

it didn't work out very well, the fabric is really lycra-y, VERY clinging and tight.
but this one is my favourite,

the bit i like best is the tiny cuffs/ bands round the sleeves. since i can't do hems on my serger (as i found out on the pink kimono) everything is finished with a band, and these are my favourite :)
and a better pic of amy, more realistic setting, and i'm so pleased with how real she looks, especially her little legs :)


so, that's it for these mammoth posts, i promise i won't leave it so long till i fish out my camera next time!
