It's an exciting MIP Monday this week, as today is the day that the Make It Perfect book is launched.
Congratulations Toni!
Now you should be able to find one in a bookshop near you.
This is what it looks like...

There are a few blogs hosting giveaways of the book.
So if you can't wait for Santa to bring it then head on over to
and try to win yourself a copy.
Just to tempt you further, here are a few more test patterns I made for items in the book.
Picnic in the Park Capelet.
 |
| Ideal for over a dressy outfit for stylish warmth |
I couldn't resist making this pattern up in the lovely thick red wool that I have had waiting for the perfect project.
It's a very sweet little cape that hangs nicely around the shoulders but the shaping at the bottom leaves the child's arms free, for gathering flowers to take to Grandma's perhaps...
 |
| The perfect button was on hand too! |
The Butterscotch Skirt is a sweet unisex pattern with a front placket detail.
This one would make a great beach cover-up if made it one size larger - or added a little length to it.
 |
| Little Miss G was very happy with her froggy shirt! |
The Snacktime Vest is another great unisex pattern.
A vest is ideal for keeping small busy people warm at the park, without the bulk of a jacket or jumper.
This one is made in some Sandi Henderson Farmers Market, this print is still available in the Meadowsweet 2 range.
 |
| Ideal for keeping your back warm on cool days in Spring and Autumn |
I even made a couple of things for me, including the Gelato Skirt that I made using some fabulous Pippi Joe 'Orchard' print in red and the same lightweight denim I used for this dress.
 |
| This skirt has red topstitching throughout to complement the fabric. |
Whay are you still here?
Go I said!

This book is on my christmas list (which really means I'll end up buying, wrapping it and putting in under the tree myself!) I love the skirt you made for yourself especially.
I didn't know about this book! I'm going to try to win it! (and if I can't ... well, it looks great, so I'll probably have to buy it :-))
Thanks for sharing!
Love that Pippi Jo skirt - package arrived today - thanks HEAPS. I'm onto that project as soon as the reports are done.
