Wednesday's Sewing snippets

Sometimes I just get the need to create, and there's nothing better than sitting with a pile of fabric offcuts trying to decide what to make with them.  These small pieces of fabric are crying out to be made into something neat and useful.  Today I felt the need to create- not a major item, just to sit and design and make a useful item quickly and simply, to experience the satisfaction of seeing a project through to it's end in a short space of time.
I decided to make a sunglasses case for little P's new Peppa Pig sunglasses.

It was a joy to create and only took half an hour to run up from start to finish! There are adaptations I would make if I were to make a few more, but that's the fun part of the design and make process, always searching for niftier ways of doing things. I am going to make a few more, one for me and a special manly one for Mr B (maybe with some camper van fabric?) and I'll post a tutorial up showing how to make them as soon as I can.

Moving on to other projects- I took a peek in little P's summer wardrobe and was a bit dismayed to find that many of her dresses from last year are now too short! So my ongoing spring project is to run up a few summer dresses for the little lady.  Here are some of the ideas we have so far:-
