Monster balloon ipod cover - Day 259

a quick present for a friend of my daughter. 
I like this little alien, he has turned up on a couple of projects now.
A number of times with a top hat, but this one is enjoying his balloon instead. 

 Because its felt its soft and cosy. Great for sneaking the ipod touch into school!

Fishy Cross stitch - Day 258

Quick pattern I'm trying to get right for a certain pressie. 
So far this is the plan, now just need to plan colours.

Last dora top - Day 257

Had this fabric in the scrap bag. 
Due to how yesterdays turned out, I decided to just add elastic for the sleeves. 

Out of the three this is my favourite. This is one I could add a pattern on here for.

Dora dress/coat - Day 256

This is a pattern I found on MollyChicken for another doll (Ruby)




I tried to size it right, but I don’t have the doll so am not sure if its right. 
The sleeves may be a tad too small! 
Turned out well though and I like that it can be a coat, and it is reversible!

Crochet Dora Dress - Day 255

This is the first one, a blue crochet dress. 

The pattern is a mix of 2 patterns from Crochet pattern Central
It ended up being a mix of 2 because I couldn’t decifer the skirt instructions for the size 11' easter dress. And unfortunately this is the only 11' size one. 


The pattern called for a shell pattern but the placement of posts confused me and after pulling it apart 3 times, found the cheerleader skirt worked ok.

Xmas Pressie One - Day 253-254

The big push for present making is now on! 
These are two presents I am making up, but will need to be slightly secret squirrel about what they are. 



The pictures probably give some good hints though. 
The fabrics were a great find from a friend, her mum got a bag of fabric scraps from somewhere, lots of strips and random sized bits. This project was PERFECT for them! 

Guess I will need to return back after xmas to add the full shot!!

Quick post. Just a small little extra for stocking fillers. 

Some cheeky looking skulls in felt attached to a hairclip.
