Lately I have been bitten by the knitting bug. In order to get over it quickly I have been knitting little things. Things like these.....
and these.....
I have also been doing a bit of dress making. Not for me or anyone I know, but baby burial items. I found some moire taffeta and some satin in my stash of fabrics and I made these two dresses.....
The funny looking thing at the top of the above pic is a small bonnet. The bootees can be seen better in the first pic.
I have about 8 flannelette burial gowns too and I am knitting bonnets and bootees to go with them. I also need to make some bloomers - luckily I also found some silk lining fabric that will suffice.
There is an Australian chapter of Angel Baby Gowns and I intend the satin items to go to them - if they ever answer my numerous emails. If they don't that's their loss as I know a midwife who would take them.
