Last dress ready for the craft fair!

The fifth and last dress ready for the craft fair on Thursday. I finally found the time to hand stitch the skirt to the bodice...

Age 18-24 months

100% wool bodice, 100% cotton skirt

wrist warmers, perfect for the cold winter months...

Here is a collection of wrist warmers in various colours that I will be selling at the craft fair.

3x3 stitch creates stretch.

Each pair is completely unique as I have been using up the ends of balls of yarn for this project!

First installment of craft fair items...

Here are the first of my creations for the craft fair Jane and I are doing at the beginning of December.

The little sleeveless cardigan was finished using odds and ends that I had in my scraps box of yarn. The end result was an interesting mismatched stripe in various shades of red and orange.

I have completed 4 out of the 5 dresses I started, using 100% wool for the bodices and a cotton fabric for the skirts. The skirt seams were all machine stitched and then hand stitched onto the knitted bodices. I used a pretty cable and moss stitch pattern for the bodices to create texture. Each dress is unique.

Little sleeveless cardigan in warm reds and oranges. Brown leather buttons.

Christmas craft fair

I have committed this year to having a stall at a craft fair with my brothers girlfriend (and good friend) Jane... I have made a few different things to sell, from baby dresses to wrist warmers. Pictures to follow...
