Skulls and Roses.

I've made another dress! Front:

Back:

I did piping on the neck edge (my first time too!):

And I used bias binding for the bottom:

I think I need a night out in Rockworld to wear this!

Tiger, tiger, burning bright.

I made Phil a tiger shirt. The fabric is some velour that I got from ebay - horrible to work with, but Phil seems pleased with it!

Party Dress

I've finally finished my party dress - it took quite a while as I had to go out and buy some lining and net, plus a zip, and then I went to Derby for three days last week. I'm really pleased with it - I just need somewhere nice to wear it now!

I also knitted a lego man:

I don't know if anyone is reading this, but I've just signed up to a site that does healthy snacks, and if I can get my friends to sign up, they'll get a free box, and I'll get £1 off my next box :-)

This is the website, it should automatically fill in the code for you: http://www.graze.com/p/GPW4MWV

Summer dress.

I really love this pattern - it's such a flattering style. I also did my first concealed zip, although I didn't use the special foot I got, as I couldn't even get it attached properly to my machine. It's just as easy with a normal zipper foot though, and is actually easier than inserting a non-concealed zip! Now all we need is a decent summer so I can wear it!

Yet another shirt!

I'm getting quite quick at these shirts now! This one took me about a day in total to make:

I got the fabric last year from the sale bin in Dunelm. I think I paid less than £2 a meter for it, so this worked out pretty cheap. I had to go and get some matching buttons for it, as it looked strange with white buttons, but they were only 20p each.

More things.

I haven't posted for a while, so here are some things I've been doing.

This is a jacket I made, from a pattern in a Burda magazine. It's fully lined in green, although you can't really see it in these photos.

I knitted George a jacket for Christmas. I did him a hat as well, but I haven't got a photo of that.

I've been playing around with some Hama beads too:
