Babydoll Dress

I made this dress in Sydney while I was waiting for my partner to recover from an operation. It is quite a winter dress so not a great deal of opportunity for wearing it in Far North Queensland...maybe a bush doof at Kuranda or mid winter on the Tablelands.

The design is by Amy O'Neill Houck who can be found on Facebook here.



I found it wandering the web published in a book by Kim Werker called Crochet Me: Designs to Fuel the Crochet Revolution.

You can have a look inside it at this link below:


This is a beautiful book and there are a heap of designs I still want to make when I have time...

Waistcoat

This lovely waistcoat I made for me to wear at my brother's wedding where I was fortunate enough to be a bridesmaid (never been one before!). It is a pale pink made of a bamboo cotton blend. It was a pattern from Garnstudio which has hundreds of gorgeous free crochet patterns.

Here is the link for the free pattern at Garnstudio:


White Rose Bag
