Using Up Yarn Remains - Coffee Cup Cozies

In a bid to use up all my yarn remains, before they transform into a giant hairball, I knitted various coffee cup cozies to sell and to give as freebies.

I managed to make 19 coffee cup cozies in 1 week.

And... No more yarn remains!!

(which means, more space for new balls of yarn, Yay!)

Sweet Sally Dress and Holly Knitted Skirt – Matching Mother Daughter Dress and Skirt

Both of these were knitted using the same yarn and was meant to match for mother and daughter.

The Sweet Sally dress is available in size 3-4 (AU Toddler). A very cute little dress that provides ample space for active toddler. There are 2 pockets at the front of the dress to keep treasures that she may find along the way.

The Holly skirt is available in size 8 (AU). It has pretty similar pattern to the Sweet Sally dress and also has 2 front pockets to keep the essentials.

Little Brent Hoodie Jacket

This cute little hoodie is one of my favourite patterns to knit because it has just the right complexity and challenge, but the outcome is a very sweet and simple looking jacket.

This particular one is knitted in soft wool yarn.

Sweet Angel Flower Girl Gift Set Bag, Bracelet and Flower Headbands

When I browsed through and choose yarns to be used for the Sweet Georgia little girls handbags, I walked past this amazingly soft and fluffy yarn and I cannot miss it.
So I bought 3 different shades of white, lavender, and mint.

They turned out to be perfect for this project that I have been thinking about.
This is a set for flower girls, a shoulder bag and a variety of flower hair accessories and also a flower bracelet.

The 2 different flower headbands:

The wide headband

The skinny headband

The flower bracelet

The Shoulder Bag

Spring Sparkle Hair Ties

Recently, I moved interstate from Sydney to Melbourne. And I brought with me my stash of remain yarns. So I decided to make small projects that can use up this yarn.

This pair of hair ties are sold as pair in my Etsy store. 

They're my favourite crochet flower with some added blings.

Sweet Georgia - Little Girls Handbags and Matching Hair Clips

A few months ago, before my overseas trip to back home, I made a few of this handbag and hair clips for my friends' daughters. They absolutely love them.
So, I decided to make more of them, in different bright colours.

The pattern for the bag is from Garnstudio, my favourite pattern website.

 

And I used to shop for their yarns, but it's too difficult to get the yarns to Australia now.
I can't find shops that have a decent postage fee from UK to AU.
It's a pity, because their Drops yarns are fantastic. Great range of material, beautiful shades of colours, and good price too.

The hair clips are a little addition, that I thought would be cute for little girls. :)

Upcycling Project - Amora Dress

Hello all,
It's been a few months since my last post. I'm sprinting to get winter projects done and ready for sale on my new Etsy store.
After the Alicia Dress project was completed, I undertook another upcycling project to combine this boring red T-shirt:

And, I have this floral shirt with beautiful pattern.

The idea was to combine these 2 and create something more-ish, upcycling them from casual to semi formal.

So, the first thing that I did, I cut off the red T-shirt top to alter it to become a one-shoulder sleeve type. Tidied up the cut edges after that.
And then, I took out the one remaining sleeve and modify it to become a balloon cap sleeve, just because I think it looks pretty. :)

With the floral shirt, it was simply cutting the top part and utilising the remaining bit as a floral skirt with elastic gathering on the waist line.

Combining them together, and I got this:
