Another day in Paradise

Yes that is very cliché, but with the lovely view from my lounge it really does feel like paradise. This picture was taken over the summer when the cruise ships come gliding into port! It is definitely and awe inspiring sight to see these massive ships pull into the dock! As summer turns to Autumn the cruise ships are replaced by refrigerator ships to take the export kiwifruit crops around the world!

Ok now on to the clothing!!

Most of my pants and skirts are made with elasticised waists, I do this because my older daughter has disabilities and has trouble with zips and buttons, and sometimes its just nice if she can pull something on herself without too much fuss..!

< This skirt was made for a friends 5th Birthday. Both pieces of fabric had strawberries on it, but were contrasts of each other.

 

 

 

This skirt is a Sz 4/5 and is a hounds tooth type jersey fabric. It comes with an attached broach that can be worn any where on the skirt etc……………………………………………………>
