It's been a long while...

But I have been busy and only just getting back into my crochet. So I went into Whitley Bay and bought 2 balls of the wool I been using to make a scarf or cowel for myself and some craft wool to bring to life an amigurumi I been thinking about.

I also got a 4.5mm crochet hook as mine has wandered off, always good when you have kids and a set of 4mm and 4.5mm double pointed needles. I got a book on socks and.most of the patterns ask for these. I'll update with a load of pics soon so you can see what I been up too.

ONE BRIDESMAID DRESS

So I completed the dress, not a mean feat when you think I didn't actually do anything apart from sew on the roses but it looked so different my mother-in-law didn't recognise it as the dress she purchased! So here are a few pictures and steps on what I did.

So this is the dress as we bought it, it just looked a little plain!

These are the roses that were already attached.

I removed the roses carefully on both sides, leaving the stitching & bow intact so the dress would not lose the pleats.

I then hand-sewed the rose bouquets on the dress over the bows.

This is the final product, a dress that got compliments all day, with people asking where I purchased it.
