Well the secret little packages featured in my previous post were in fact little gifts for the Brisbane girls on Tuesday. I made four bias tote bags for each of the girls (I included myself, aren't I lovely?), Marie I will have to post yours to you!
Thanks to Susan and Suzanne for a lovely meet up on Tuesday, I look forward to another one in the new year.
I made two of these retro dresses today as gifts my good friend's daughters. I am so pleased with them and cannot wait to give them to the girls. I am a bit cranky that I didn't think to center the gold and fuschia one, the pattern is just a little off center, but whrn Lauren is wearing it I doubt anyone will notice. I also noticed on the blush dress that the mermaids are swimming up at the front and down at the back, again I am sure it will not be noticed.

I see you are getting plenty of use from the dress pattern. It really is a simple and pretty dress. And I wouldn't have noticed that the mermaids were a bit off centre if you hadn't mentioned it.
Also meant to say that you are indeed lovely to have thought of yourself when sewing the bags ;p
The bags are such lovely gifts! The dresses looks adorable too, the mermaid fabric is so cute.
Andrea I adore that Heather Ross range - have been wanting some for ages now. They are gorgeous dresses.
How kind of you to make a gift for the meet-up, especially to make one for the organiser!!
Great bags Andrea, glad you thought of yourself too. I love the dresses (I am yet to make that pattern up). I think the mermaids going up on the front and down on the back is a great idea, like they are going around in circles. So of course if anyone asks you did it on purpose!
That bag looks great Andrea! Love the fabric/pattern combination.
Andrea, I really like the bags - I've seen another one you made on your blog. Can you tell me the pattern?
the aqua print looks great made up.
Becanne,
Here is the link to the pattern.
