New dress design

I've wanted for so long to get back to designing clothes, that's what I 

trained in, & I've always just tinkered at it.

So when I took part in The farmers wife block contest, I figured

I'd incorporate the blocks into a wee skirt for Ella.

You can see it Here.

So for this contest

Festival of half square triangles

I thought I'll do another piece of clothing for Ella, she's a great model to use.

I'm not nearly halfway there,

Actually just started today, so I'm really pushing it as 

there's four days left eeeeek!!!!!

Anyhoo here's the lil blocks I'm putting together

Love these fabrics.......

Different  collections from Dena Fishbein.

Actually I was asked recently what my favourite fabric collection is, I think I said Freshcut, 

but when I think of Leanika, one of her collections, I get all googly

 it is so pretty but sadly 

no longer available :(

If anyone has ever heard of it & knows where it could be found, please, please, please

let me know.......

So thats where I am as of now, the idea is a dress & beach bag to match for our 

holidays in May.

A rough sketch just to give you an idea of where I want to go with it

Wish me luck......you should see the entries so far, oh my they are beautiful.

Don't think I stand much of a chance, but entering is fun, 

& its got my creative brain cells going, I love it!!!!

Hope you all have a sweet evening, I'm about to settle down 

with a hot chocolate & a good book.

Finally finished 24, I'm so relieved....I got my life back!!!!!!!!

See you soon 

Lots of love Karen xx
