Sewng orders

This is some sewing I have done for mums at mothers group. The spottu fabric was also used to make a library bag and when there was lots left over the mum asked me to make some shorts and a skirt.
I need to add something to the little shirred top yet to break up that green. Not sure what I will do. I was going to applique some circles with the colours in them but the spots are quite far apart and I would only get one colour in each circle. So I was thinking either a line of the spotty fabric - although not sure if I hae enough, or some purple and white rick rack. I am open to suggestions here, what do you think?

This is a Christams skirt for another little girl in Mothers Group. I love Christmas and love seeing kids in Christams clothes.

I was thinking of cutting out and appliquing in the shape of holly for a t-shirt.

gorgeous outfits Andrea! I especially love the christmas skirt. Umm, not sure about the top, could you cut out some larger circles from the spotty fabric? I think it looks fine as it is though too, when it's plain it can go with anything.

They look lovely Andrea - Does your sewing machine do circles? You could embroider some cirles at intervals around the bottom of the top??

You have been very busy! I can't decide which one I like best as they are all lovely :)

I think plain green is fine for the shirred top too. Natalie and Tigerfilly have given great suggestions too so you could do that if you wanted to.
