Barbie jumper and cords.
Poor lass came with just a bikini & it was cold here, so she got a Posh Yarn jumper and cosy cord trousers.
I used the patterns from here and the jumper was from here although I added a couple of stitches to the width as I wasn't convinced it would fit her!
DD complained that Barbie now needed socks and gloves but I've resisted so far!!

Cow fur jeans for DD.The fabric has been in my stash a while and DD kept pulling it out and asking me to make her something from it - pester power won.
The pattern was from Ottobre 3/04 #14 - I've made these before and like the fit. I cut a 104 width and a 110 length - and they're only just long enough!
Shoes Handbag - present for a friend.The pattern is Ottobre Dotted Dream Purse The upper fabric is an embroidered mock suede and the lower fabric is Alexander Henry High Heels cotton.
I adapted the pattern by adding a zipper right across the bag to close it and added a zipped pocket inside - both a little more work but worth it in my opinion. As I'd used pretty firm interfacing & the suede shows every mark if ironed, I didn't want to try to turn it through a hole in the lining. I cut the interfacing at the top edge on the seam line & turned the suede over when the outer bag was made - then I made the lining & turned the SA over on the top and slip stitched in place before I top stitched around the top - it made for a neat top edge and no turning through!
Sockarama January socks These were made as part of a (pair of)sock a month challenge at http://sockamania.blogspot.com/
Knitted in Posh Yarns Emily from last Year's sock club (I think this was June!)
I didn't think I'd get them done, but some concerted knitting at the end of the month got them finished!

My own little Fimble.

DH says she looks like a Fimble!
