sewing pouches/ Dottie Angel dress

Two kids walk in after school and told me not to go outside! Never. (well five minutes to hang laundry out and it seems to be dry minute later or a bit longer ;0 ). They have sat in air con at school and were stunned walking home from the train station.
I made them a chocolate cake for surviving the first day of school. Pity at 6.09 pm I have no idea what is for dinner - i'm not going back into the kitchen in this heat. Luckily the husband will sort something out!

My last day off school today, so I've been sewing some pouches (trying to use up scraps) - I use these for my knitting projects. Took a bit of figuring out how to sew a zip in again and to do a lined pouch. Easy peasy after the first one.

The at 4.45pm I decided bugger this, jumped in the car and whipped up the road to the fabric shop to buy the Dottie Angel dress pattern I had seen on a few blogs. I adore it! I already had this fabric...
A lovely Cloud 9 organic cotton (now on clothes line drying) and then also bought this fabric to make two of them... (plain linen will be the pockets) -

I think I'll even start on them tonight. Not getting much sleep in this heat....
