Opening day

So, 2 months passed and we've completed the EB kids clothing swap for 2011.  This morning we opened parcels from Rainbowbrite (Tina), and Ourcompletedfamily.  Both ladies did a terrific job of the outfits for Sophie and Emily, and the girls adore their new clothes.

EB kids clothing swap 2011- I'm finished!

So, I've finished sewing my swap items for my two partners in the EB kids clothing swap, and wanted to share some sneak peeks.  So here they are.

EB kids clothing swap 2011

I had such a great time participating in the last Kids clothing swap, that I decided to have another go.  This time around I am sewing for two children.  It's such good fun sewing for other children that wear a different size, and are of a different gender to my own children, so I'm relishing the challenge.  I've bought all of my fabric and notions but I'm still waiting for some things to arrive.  I always end up buying way too much fabric when I sew, and this time I think I must've bought about 16 yards of fabric all up because I couldn't decide on just a few, I think it's called an obsession (or indecision)? Either way I don't need anywhere near that much.  No wonder my fabric stash is growing so quickly!  Anyway, here's the fabrics I think I'm using.  More to come still, and I might alter them slightly yet.
