Kimono Shoes

Thanks to Julie Darley for passing this gorgeous little pattern for baby shoes on to me. During the heat I have loved pottering in the cool studio working on these for pleasure.
I have pattern sizes through 0 to 18 months and while they are quite tiny to work on the result is well worth it. Inadequate cards to match using fabric of shoes and stitching them onto paper card.. Cute!
I have wrapped two pairs up for a friend's daughters on birth of her first two grandchildren born two weeks apart!
If you have scraps of cute fabrics it might be fun to give a pair a go!

Classes resume for 2013

Happy new year to all!

You all should have received an enrollment email or letter today or tomorrow and if not please contact me.
After reeling from the heat it's hard to think about sewing, but the studio is cooled and very pleasant even on the hottest days.
I am just getting patterns and test garments ready for those who are taking up the challenge of the reversible linen ' go anywhere jacket'.
Pictures included to remind you of its easy shape and clever stand up collar.
I have purchased an array of colors that can be used together in various combinations for you to purchase, if you don't have anything suitable. Most are cotton/linens and the rest are pure linen, with prices of $16 - $29.00.
