Trip to Spotlight today

YAY! I finally made it into SL today to get some more fabric ( as if I need anymore LOL). MIL had my three older children so It was only Bubby and I out today. He was such a good little boy until it came time to line up at the counter waiting to be served. By then I realised I forgot to look at elastic and binding and zippers and thread but of course there was no going back to get these things as Bubby was just too upset. Oh well, perhaps I'll get to go to the new one ( kinda new one) in Brissie on our way out tomorrow.

The bargains I got today ( only from the clearance tables *50% off all fabrics*) (you have to excuse the photo quality. I am using my phone to take the pics as the girls have somehow wrecked our digital camera ! GRRR!)

Minty green muslin with stars on it. I got 4 metres for $2/m ( I got 4 metres because a few friends are having babies and I thought i could cut and edge the muslin to make some nice little wraps)

Black Broderie Anglaise(sp?) I got 2 metres for $8. I am going to use this for the straps and under layer of a tunic top I am going to make for myself. Black and White patterned chiffon. 2 metres for $4. The black/white patterned chiffon will be the top "floaty" layer.

(blurry photo I know! Sorry!)
Red/purple flower patterened chiffon. 2 metres and upon looking at the receipt when i got home realised she didn't charge me for this. Would of only cost $4 anyway. This will be the top layer of another tunic top for myself *if* the first one I make turns out properly.

Reversible spots/stripes in green and grey. This wasn't as cheap, it was $5/m and I got 2 m of it. I am going to make my 2 DD's 3/4 sleeve sweatshirts and some trackies ( like yoga pants) with this material.

Juicy apple print polyester/cotton. 2 metres for $8. Thought I could make some long sleeved t-shirts for my DD"s with this as well, i think it's so cute. May even make myself a top from the Ottobre women's mag I got the other day.

I just had to add a photo of these cute little shoes i got for DS 4wks today. I know, I know what

use does a 1 mth old baby have for shoes right? But they are so cute! I couldn't resist.

Ok now for some Work in Progress.

These are the little overalls I made for Ds4wks, plus the "newborn" beanie that is too big. I just have to add either snaps or buttons and buttonholes to the shoulders then its all ready to be worn.

Here is the unfinished cardie/jacket in the same material I am making. As you can see I have to sew the sleeves on and do the button & buttonholes.

I want to make the overalls, hat and cardie in these materials as well.

Plus I have to put the buttons and buttonholes onto this cardie made in a flannelette material. I am thinking about sending it to a friend of mine who had a little girl the week after I had Ds4wks. But I am not sure about my sewing yet, if I decide it's too dodgy then I guess the girls can have it for one of their dolls.
