flower power

This weekend we had a little bit of sunshine and from reading other peoples blogs and looking at the happy faces around , it seems to have made eveyone get a bit of a spring in their step.

i have ignored my garden, as it has been so cold, but with the lovely clothes drying weather i did ventured out and was nicely surprised by the flowers that have been brave enough to appear.

I do love bluebells , they remind me of being young and 'playing out'
I'm sure there used to be much more than there are now?

 

 Here is just a small selection of flower fabrics.

 I love how very different they all are...



some modern tulips...


and big fat cabbage flowers..

 twisted
and dainty

 a sixties feel and a fifties...

and lastly lovely blue dandelions (which are better on fabric than in your garden!)

just a small selection of my flower fabric. Yes flower fabric equals flower power!

enjoy the sunshine and blooms.

a top from the dress pattern

After the success of my dress that i made, i decided i would like to make it as a top. I had this fabric waiting for me to make a skirt. I had to use it though.

 I made it this morning and then wore it to a friends BBQ.

 I just took the Pattern and cut 30cm of the bottom.

I am now looking for some different fabric to do more...I still have enough of the first fabric to make a top and a friend has asked for one so maybe i should do that first (she is a lovely friend)
