Fabric to brighten up your day

You may remember this fabric from a previous post.  It is stunning, and here is how it looks...

... as one of my beautiful pinnies (actually there are two of these).  I finally managed to get the labels sewn on and some pics of it over the weekend and you can now buy one in my Folksy shop or in my Etsy shop (which has been a little neglected of late, but that will soon be looking healthier!).

I am particularly loving the way the bow looks...

... it has taken a bit of time to perfect bow tying, but I love the way I can tie one that looks good on my first attempt now.  It is sad how little things can satisfy.  No lets rephrase that... isn't it fabulous how you can get satisfaction from little things?!!!  

Blowing in the breeze

Actually, breeze is an understatement, this photo was taken on Saturday and it was pretty blustery.  I had to take several photos of them and wait for lulls in the gusts before managing to get a reasonable shot.

I have been making pinnies recently with patterned tops, and these two I decided to make all out of patterned fabric.  I have been contemplating this for a while, but the extra cost of fabric put me off a little as this would obviously have to be passed onto the customer.  However,  I've gone for it... and I just love the one with the birds.  I didn't want to take it off, and I would certainly pay a little extra for such loveliness.  You can have a closer look on my Folksy shop www.folksy.com/shops/pukkapinnies.
