Last week I ordered some fabric from Ebay but somehow ordered 2 metres instead of 2 fat quarters! So I thought I’d have a go at making the girls a sundress each using Kitschy Coo’s tutorial. Both the dresses turned out a little on the large side and were unpicked several times! But they’re not bad for my first attempt and Grace loves hers.
I also made my Mum’s birthday cake today. I was going to use the sugarpaste disc I decorated in class a couple of weeks ago but when I went to put it on the cake it was too large and looked odd! So I decided to use some of the flowers I made in class to decorate it instead. It doesn’t look as impressive but it is still quite summery.

Thanks Vonnie. The girls enjoyed wearing their dresses at the weekend and the cake went down well at my Mum’s birthday party 🙂

Great job! Did you try blasting them with steam to make the elastic tighter? It works a treat!
