Yes, I've been doing some more sewing....... just had to make Chloe a new Christmas outfit too (I was meant to make these shorts, as there was JUST enough fabric leftover from making Bridget's pair).. the shirt is from BigW, lovely quality.

and just in case you are new to my blog.... Bridget and Chloe are my Great-Nieces and Lachie is my Great-Nephew. As my son Matt is only 17 going on 18 (big moan here) I have not got to the Grandmother stage just yet! give me time! I just hope I can see to sew by then :-))
Dare I say I will be back with yet MORE Christmas sewing? you never know!
Happy Sewing!!
Helen
