Soapies!

Couldn't sleep last night so i made some soapies! I had them when i was a child and they are great for teaching children how to wash themselves. The set comes with a mitt and a soapie - which you fill with body wash or soap and it slips over the childs hand.

Check them out at my online store http://louisefelice.com/

They all come in their own little basket/tote and the next ones will also have some custom soap included!

Pillowcase Dresses

Pillowcase Dresses - i found these on a Martha Stewart site but decided to make a variation of them. Basically, pillowcase dresses are made from a pillowcase - with the top cut off and a drawstring threaded through as straps and neckline.

I thought that the drawstring could be a choking hazard so i replaced it with elastic. The straps are fixed.

Here's an example:

I added the ribbon as embellishment and to be continuous with the straps.

I made a couple more:

I used different fabrics to create a unique piece. I dont use a pattern so each one is always different and unique.

This one is reversible - patterned on one side and plain on the other

Baby Skirts

I came across a lot of vintage clothes and decided to use the fabric to make skirts. I also had some vintage lace and bits and bobs which i will use as trimmings. This is a picture of my first attempt.

I think it turned out rather well. As with my other creations they are all for sale. If you would like a custom one made just e mail me at louisefelice@gmail.com with the size and colour.

My babylock
