I think they are so good that if they didn't have wings they would be very versatile for instance as a man and woman bedfellows for anniversary pressies or for wedding/engagement prapps I am running away with my ideas I don't know they are just incredibly sweet I love them!A bit like a mr and mrs or granny and grandad or bride and groom you get my drift I'm sure.

kandipandi- please ignore the last bit of my pm as ive just seen the answer from you above thank you Im putting on my wishlist now. xx

Here are two more angels I made but i still havent hgot the hang of the nose bit yet and I remembered to put hair on one of them lol.

They are fantastic, i love their clothes fabric :T

Fabulous angels, well done! I have just made a love heart out of felt using the Tilda pattern and it has come out really well so I am very pleased.

Just a quick question for all those experienced sewing people, what is the best way to finish off items? I find it hard to finish things neatly and I know there must be a knack to it.

Has anyone seen any fabric with small union jack flags all over it? I want some to make little coin purses .

oh my goodness so sorry for the size I must have done the wrong thing.is it the html code or the img code I need (I must be having a dopey moment)

I did my first pic that size but it was hair i`d bought for the angels & the pic frightened everyone !!
Someone even saw animals in it ie: badger :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

those angels are adorable dora well done!

its my dd's 2nd birthday next month and she wants a princess dress, but i cant find any in her size. rather than buying a bigger one and altering it i have decided to make her one!

i have started it tonight and so far the skirt part is almost finished. it has a cream coloured silky fabric as a bottom layer. then i have used an chiffony material in the same colour to go on top. with the chiffon i have gathered it up in 3 places so that the skirt has 'swags' if that makes sense.
just need to make some sort of roses out of some red voile i have, to stitch to where its gathered
anyone know where i can find a tutorial/instructions for this?
hopefully i can get these done tomorrow. then i need to find a strappy vest top to stitch to the skirt and make some red voile 'swag' to go on and fall loose at the shoulders!

so far its looking great and i know she'll love it!
and better still it hasnt cost me anything so far (mite not cost me a penny at all if she still fits in a vest top from last summer) as everything was previously bought or i had in!

yippee_kye_yay

forgot to say, id like to make my son a superheroe cape too. any ideas on tutorials?
i did get a book out of library with instructions to make capes but its a bit confusing!
must b a simpler way?

and finally, rummer i cant give you advice as the princess dress is only my 2nd project, but is there any pics of ur heart? i love seeing other peoples makes!

Which brand of patterns do you all prefer ? and which do you not like?
I prefer Burda i find they`re easier to understand.
Simplicity to me are the hardest ones.

have you looked on www.crafster.org , they do tutorials of what they make themselves also sometimes patterns for you to print off.
