In which most of my travel wardrobe is sewn by me!

Hola, gentle readers. It has been a crazy week with me working until the last minute and sewing like a mad woman. But, it's paid off!

Check out my hand made haul...

Hand Made goodies for my trip...

 And that is without my jammies and my just finished Hazel dress. Ikea fabric has never looked this good!

Hazel dress finished in time for the US

 I'm over in the US of A for the next month so I'll pop by occasionally to share some pictures of the goodies I find and my me-made clothes in the wild. Until then, any suggestions of fabulous fabric stores in (or near) Washington DC or in New York appreciated.

Yippee! Harry Potter world here I come!

    My proverbial hat's off to you! That's quite an impressive wardrobe, and even more so that it's me-made! I can't WAIT to see your Hazel in action, it looks gorgeous! :)
