Here's another one...

...just like the other one.

Modkid Maya dress - size 5

Heart interlock from Spotlight.
Watermelon pink super stretchy stuff with lycra blend (can you know I don't know my knit fabrics!!) GJ's Fabrics on a remnant table.
Cute kid by me and the man of the house!

I think I failed....

My intention was to post this pic on Friday, or if it was Sunday to post a pic with two completed Maya dresses in it, not quite all went to plan!!

Making the dress was fine, it was, as are all Patty's patterns - quick, easy to sew and well-written.

It was just the extra things that were planned for the weekend or that cropped up at the last minute that waylaid me from the task at hand; the work that had a Monday 9am deadline on it, the dinner with the basketball girls, football with my husband to watch the demise of my beloved Bulldogs and all the other little things that take time on the weekend.

Lara however was remarkable!
She took up the challenge to sew and made two Maya's on the weekend.

Thanks Lara for posting your finished dresses - I can honestly say I would not have stayed up to finish this if not for your success spurring me on!

Are there any patterns you've had lurking around your stash for ages that you haven't got around to trying??
How about we do them together?
Leave me a comment and perhaps if a few of us have somethng to try we can do it together in preparation for summer sewing - maybe starting in October?

Until then, I still have one more Maya to make tomorrow - wish me luck!

PS - will try to get a modelled pic of this tomorrow - it looks pretty bland just hanging on a hanger!

My Creative Space : Maya

I've been a bit idle in My Creative Space of late.

There are so many things I want to make I keep putting off making any of them, overwhelmed by my 'Want To Do' list.

Crazy logic I know.

By the end of today I want to turn this pile of fabric into...

One of these dresses, the version on the right.

Come back and kick my behind if I haven't blogged it by Saturday at the latest. OK?

See what more productive 'spacers' are up to at Kirsty's place.

She's never idle!
