summer makes

I am definitely in the dressmaking mood, especially when I get tempted by some pretty fabric at a reduced price...I love a bargain! I spotted this fabric, and thought how fresh and summery it looked so bought a couple of metres of it and made this tunic.

The pattern was free with Prima magazine and the fabric is 100% cotton  called Ambrosia by Kathy Davis for Freespirit. It was very easy to make and the fabric was lovely to work with and I have loads of the fabric left  for other projects.

I want to make a big roomy beach bag to take on holiday and I have found a good free pattern on http://www.allaboutyou.com/craft/pattern-finder/sewing-projects/sewing-for-women/sew-a-big-beach-bag-48317, I just need too check out my stash of fabrics and I am sure I will find something suitable, it would have been nice to have made it in the above fabric but it needs to be a bit tougher!
