Yesterday, I pieced this fancy little dress. The ">pattern is by Charise Creates, and it was really fun to piece. I previously used her apron pattern, but I still haven't decided how I want to finish it. The oh-so-feminine fabric is Cherie by Frances Newcombe. I really love this line, and I think it is perfect for little dresses, or real dresses, for that matter! I have plans for this block already, and I hope to execute that plan soon!
I'm also working on some shirts, from Carolyn Friedlander's fun pattern. Lee has hosted two previous rounds of the All Shirts Swap, and I finally joined in for round three. I've got about seven weeks left before I have to ship my shirts, so I hope to make lots more of these little guys! if you'd like to join in, you can find the details here.
Fun! I love both of them - but they look like they take a lot of time to piece? Great color choices as usual!
ReplyDeleteI will leave the PP to you. It always looks nice but i find it a big ol' PITA.
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous! Looks like fun (and very finicky).
ReplyDeleteoh your Carolyn shirts are so cute! I need to get into some more intricate paper piecing- it really is so fun!
ReplyDeleteThe shirt blocks are so cute! Might have to put them on my list.
ReplyDeleteOh those shirts!!! I like that "ship my shirts" bit. Sounds like a homemade factory =)
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm with you. I just started quilting about a year ago and as soon as I tried paper piecing, I was in LOVE. It's so much fun! Like paint-by-number, but with FABRIC, which is always better. :-)
