Let's get straight to the point: I haven't had time to update this blog for a looong time, and I'm not planning on doing it ever again. A 2 year old daughter doesn't mix well wit extra time to update a blog I'm afraid! :)

But a few weeks ago I opened a Friends in the Leaves Facebook page because after almost two years without sewing any toys I started again:

www.facebook.com/Friends.in.the.Leaves

and a few minutes ago, I opened an Etsy shop to seel them! I'm very excited and scared!

I won't delete this blog as I still go back to it sometimes, for references. For the few of you who wander here (by mistake!?!), I hope to meet you again on Facebook or Etsy.

Two weeks ago, I gave birth to a gorgeous baby girl called Emma. The labour was long, painful and I ended up having a cesarean. Consequently, I won't be doing any sewing for some time; partly because I don't have the time, partly because the time I have I want to spend it gazing at her and partly because I physically can't do much!

But I'll keep you posted and will try to come back as soon as possible! 'Cause I still miss sewing!

Cheers,

Aurore

Here are a few skirts I made for the markets. There's two more to come!

Voilà!

And a new one! No one can stop me!!!

I made it today, much faster than I had expected! No complaining! :)

As usual, click on the picture to see it bigger.

This top is a mix of the 'Pirate' top and the dresses. The yellow fabric is so beautiful with a white and see through paisley pattern. Click on the picture to see it bigger!

I improved the pattern for the Ali pants. Well, I should say I made a pattern, as the first Ali Pants were a bit random!

So here are the pants I made for the markets. Click on the photos to see them bigger!

And that's it! I'm working on new tops now!

These are three new dresses I made last week. I was hoping to take part in the Perth Upmarkets but I wasn't accepted! That's a bit sad! I've applied for another market in december. I hope I'll get in!

Here are the photos. Click on the pictures to see them bigger.

I'll be back very very soon because I've got lots of things to show you!

Here is a top that's the first of an upcoming series. I've had the pirate fabric for quite some time and when I saw the pirate buttons I thought that they'd go perfectly together as a yoke. So I just had to draw a pattern and off I went! I made it before dress n°1; I actually used it as a base for the dress.
So here are the photos. Sorry about the bad quality, the fabric is quite difficult to shoot (and yes I'll iron the next clothes, but this top is mine so it's been worn already!) Click on the picture to zoom in!

That will be the name of this dress until inspiration comes back!
I'm pretyy happy with it as it's pretty much exactly like I imagined it! I made it for the Upmarkets on the 28th of November. What do you think? (Click on the picture to see it bigger!)
