Well, we are up to day 5 already and my house is a tip...I'm sure the lounge was tidy last night, and look at it now. And that is only from the 1 hour the kids were up in the morning before heading out to school/preschool. HOW DO THEY DO IT???
And does anyone else's kitchen look like this? Please, please, please say yes, and make me feel not so bad.
(actually this is my kitchen on a good day - I'm so embarrassed)
Anyway, away from my messy house and on the the awesomeness that is DAY 5
So we are stuck in winter, down here in New Zealand, but it will start warming up, soon I hope as we are steadily running out of wood for our fire.
Day 5
Pattern: Sweet'n'Sassy Bubble Shorts and a self drafted flutter dress/top pattern I've had written down for ages.
Size: 12-18months for Portia
Fabric: Homespun for the shorts and sleeves, Quilting cotton for the top section of the top and a vintage panel/boarder print from my MIL for the bottom section of the top.
I love my bubble shorts pattern, it looks fabulous over cloth nappies and has been designed as such. Super big pockets that kids just love and Portia is no excpetion...She calls them her "boggets" which is pocket in Portia speak.
The simplicity of the homespun with the cute bow and matching top just make the most beautiful set and I cant wait till summer when Portia can wear these out and about.
The flutter sleeve is full and floaty, something every little girl needs.
This set was made in around 1 1/2 - 2 hours. I didn't time myself, but I went down to start sometime after 9 m and came up around 11am. I don't usually get to sew at this time of the day as Portia is very busy, however she hasn't had a day sleep for the last 3 days and today was awake at 5:30!!!
Well, she must have been so tired because she fell asleep on the way home from dropping Brylie at school...9am! Wow. so I took the opportunity to sew now before she woke up...(and while I type this at 11:46am - she is STILL ASLEEP)

She loved the pockets and promptly filled them with her duplo animals.
It was so cold and windy but she was a trooper, halfway through, my phone died so we needed to swap to the camera, then the battery died, so I'm happy with the photos I got. She is such a cheerful wee girl (well I would be after 3 hours sleep this morning - she woke at 12)
I must say I love this little outfit and can't wait for summer.
