I spent the morning jamming plums, baking homemade sausage rolls and making trifle.
But I had that bored, restless feeling.
That can only be soothed with a good crafting project.
I spen a happy hour browsing my Enid collection.
Looking for something I've not made before.
I drafted up the pattern.
Then searched through the piles and piles and piles of fabrics,
looking for something just right.
Not too heavy, not too light.
Not too dull, not too bright.
Not too plain, not too fussy.
I'm not sure who gave me this fabric or which Op-shop I bought it from.
But it's perfect!
I made the culottes almost just as Enid said.
Next time I'll leave out the zip in the side,
as Lilly had no problem getting into the culottes with the zip fastened.
The perfect little outfit for my tomboyish little girls.
No showing your knickers when you jump on the trampoline,
climb the gate or over the fence.
The buttons came from the op-shop.
The Auction ends tomorrow at 9pm!
Sorry I had to change the time to keep it in line with the other auctions.
I'm pretty excited to be able to be apart of this fabulous fundraiser.
Toni is estimating we will raise over $45,000
Isn't that amazing, every little amount sure does help.

Oh and I know that restless feeling well.
HAve a wonderful week.
Very cute. I love that you are back sewing up a storm again.
Not a hint of grumpiness about modelling this outfit I think youve made a winner here in fact Im thinking I could wear these because Ive fallen in love with the material and since I live in Footscray wearing this outfit would be perfectly acceptable ;)
PS: Amazing how much was raised for the auction well done everyone involved.
