Competition!

In May I entered a competition - The Amateur Creative Arts & Photography Awards. I sent in two photos of some of the dresses and wrist-warmers I have made.
I ended up being the runner-up in the Craft section! Really excited about it. Since I haven't been sewing for long this really makes me just want to do more and more! There was a nice award ceremony in Inverness where I was presented with a book by a local artist. Great fun!

Butterfly sun hat

Made this at the start of the summer, but I'm afraid it hasn't been used much as we haven't seen much of the sun. It is a bit too big so hopefully it will fit next summer! It is made from a curtain from Laura Ashley and lined with white cotton.

Black & white wrist-warmers

Crocheted wrist-warmers with a knitted pattern. Made of merino wool.

Summer dress

Yet another dress in the same style and size as the others. This time it is made from an old sheet, really soft cotton. I just love the pattern! Lots of flowers and summer colours!

Dress with a pocket

Same type of dress as the others, size 2-3 years. This time with a small pocket with buttons.

Pink heart dress

A really girlie pink dress with hearts. Size 2- 3 years. The pink buttons are from my grandmother's button- box!

Green happy bag

Made this bag a bit bigger than the first bag. It is made from the curtains I had when I lived in Norway - a really happy time, so this is my happy bag! Lined with white cotton and has a pocket for a mobile phone.
