I've been having fun sewing lots of kid stuff lately.
Haven't finished the 'boyish boy' sewing yet, but have completed a couple of 'girly girl' things.
An apron and quilted pot-holder for a niece's 2nd birthday.
She received a gorgeous big wooden kitchen for Christmas from Santa, so I am hoping these might get some use (I also included a rolling pin, some cookie cutters, and a sweet little tin teapot).
A little dress for Kate that I actually cut out while I was away on holidays, but didn't get around to finishing until now. It was a vintage pattern in size two, and was actually meant to be a straight 'A-line' dress. However it seems that the 'size 2' referred to a size 2 giant. Not a wee little two and a half year old. So I decided it just needed a little cinching at the waist. The vintage pink buckle on the belt was one I picked up when shopping with Sherrin in Fitzroy. It's from a gorgeous vintage clothing/accessories shop called Circa. Highly recommended (their collection of buckles, brooches and dress clips was quite delicious)!!
Thank goodness it passed the dancing test!!!Hope you are having a great start to the year. As of Saturday I will be officially closer to 40 than 30. Eeeekkk!!! How on earth did that happen? And why don't I feel grown up yet?
Thankfully I'm still immature enough to pass for a bit younger....he he....

Happy Birthday for Saturday too - make sure you have a good one :)
So gorgeous! I absolutely adore that vintage style dress...she'll be strutting her stuff for sure.
Happy Birthday for Saturday, hope you have a great day.
That little apron set is just gorgeous. Your attention to detail is amazing. I'm sure it will be a big hit.
Hey, I love the pink and orange, its gorgeous. Love the little dress, glad it passed the dance test.
Adorable...what great ideas. I love pink and orange together.
Hello Bec, thank you for your lovely comments on my blog, just had a look at yours, great stuff pink is a must, im in a male dominated household, except for my great dane. Have a lovely day.
What a great collection of gorgeousness. I love all your sewing! Beautiful.
That dress is beautiful. Glad to see that it passed the all important dance test. I hope you have a lovely birthday on Saturday.
Great photo of the little miss! Quite a "vogue" moment! Total gorgeousness as always Bec!
Love your girly girl stuff!! And that dress - it's darling!
A big Happy Birthday for this Saturday, hope you have a great day!
The dress is great, Bec! And it looks awesome with the buckle..... which I thought was meant to be for you?! ;o)
Love the pink & orange combo for the apron! And how sweet is that dress on your cute little dancing girl!?! Hope you'll be dancing up your own storm for your upcoming birthday :)
Happy birthday Bec xo
I really love Zoe's apron - she will definitely love it! And I'm well impressed with the level of detail on both girly items. You'll have to teach me how to make them :P
ooh, aah, at first looking at the photos I thought it was going to be something for big girls (ie girls on the closer side of 40 !)I still think that! Doesn't everyone do the dance test on a new dress?
Gorgeous little dress!! Have a happy birthday!
Oh, I love the buckle on the dress! So nice to see it go to a good home, and a dancing one at that.
Wow! you are a clever Bec! I just love your little apron and pot-holder set. TOO CUTE!!! My little Miss Am's always nicking off with my quilted pot-holder, I have to resort to using t-towels.
Happy birthday for Saturday. Hopefully you'll get over 'the being closer to 40 than 30 bit' and enjoy yourself. I just turned that corner last November. Smudgy mirrors seem to help, so just don't clean them as often.
Hi Bec - Happy Birthday for tomorrow. Hope you have a fantastic day. What lovely "girly" sewing - the dress is gorgeous - so pretty and the apron and pot holder set is such a lovely idea.
What beautiful things! The apron and pot holder are gorgeous and the rosy dress is a stunner! I love the dancing test - I'm going to apply the same test to everything I sew from now on!
Happy birthday Bec!! I hope you're having a lovely day! :o)

That little vintage dress is too cute!
Great dress, I can tell she just loves it!
Doesn't Miss Kate look ADORABLE in her new dress? Talk about Dancing Queen.
Happy birthday for last Saturday, and don't despair – I keep my mirrors VERY GRIMY and I don’t look a day over 18. Well, that’s how I feel until I confront a hideous image in what is obviously a trick mirror at the hairdressers. Being dangerously closer to 70 than 60 then becomes painfully obvious. So avoid hairdresser mirrors at all costs and you will remain forever 18.
A belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Hope you had a special day.
Your sewing is gorgeous - so beautiful and so girly! I especially love the shot of Kate dancing - soooo cute!
Wow you've been busy! I love the pink and orange combo!
I love your work so much, Bec! It's all too adorable.
Happy Birthday for saturday! Don't worry, I don't feel at all grown up yet either - I turn 30 in April and I'm already having panic attacks over it!
Happy new year Bec! (Yes, I know, very late with my wishes ... lots been happening - I promise to send you an email with an update!)
I love Kate's dress (as she clearly does). Can you say "Mini me"?
