Weekend Find on Etsy

Seeing it's Halloween, I thought I'd look for a Halloween costume as this weekend's find!
After sifting through pages and pages of costumes, I settled on this cute little one!
A super cute little clown outfit.


Isn't it sweet?

It's made by dahlhartlane, and she has the cutest little Etsy shop!

I hope you've had a fun Halloween!

Weekend Find on Etsy

I've caught the sewing bug of late.
Yep, fabric as well as paper.
So much so, that I have being eyeing off these cute patterns for sweet little girls!!
I can see Ella, my four yr old in one of these and the pattern is simple.
I can teach myself anything and work it out, well, usually anyway, but if I get in real trouble I have a very handy sewing MIL and a few friends that sew, so I'm set!!!
LOL

In saying that, my sewing machine is my Mum's. She doesn't sew these days, and gave it to me to use!! It's probably nearly as old and me, but doesn't skip a beat. It sews paper mainly, and gets shocked when I stick some fabric under the foot!!

Anyway onto today's Weekend find on Etsy...

It's a shop called Oh so Sassy and the girl that runs it is from Arizona in the US. She sells patterns and DIY kits in different styles and sizes.

Here's the cute dress I am thinking about for Ella.



Adorable isn't it??
