MARGARETS CHALLENGE FOR JUNE
Hi All,
Huge apologies for not being around for you during May's wonderful challenge set by our VERY talented guest designer Gaby.
Thank you sooo much Gaby for the brilliant challenge, you took us outside our comfort zone with some great results too many thanks for holding the fort in my absents by visiting all the lovely blogs who took on your challenge.
Gaby you did us PROUD x
Family matters kept me away... everything is going in the right direction now....thank you to all the lovely emails and warm wishes left by each and everyone of you. x I have 57 emails to catch up with :) x
Junes challenge ....can you believe it is half way through the year....
Another very special guest designer for you this month ....Margaret and I feel she is going to take us back a little bit to our childhood.
Does anyone remember making little paper dresses I know I did for my 'Bunty' comic paper doll
OH how I loved working with paper designing dresses for her and I am going to get the chance again to create some gorgeous little outfits for this challenge.
About Margaret,
I am a self-taught mixed media artist living in Switzerland.
I love all things paper and paint and have recently renewed my interest in machine stitching. I've been blogging for a couple of years and feel very privileged to be part of such a wonderful creative community.
At the beginning of this year I set up a project called 'Dress Up' on my Blog.
I invited blogger's to make and display a dress every month and post a link. I've been overwhelmed by the positive response and have had so much fun blog hopping, meeting new faces and admiring so many beautiful creations.
When Chriss asked me if I would be June's Guest Designer we both immediately fell upon the idea of a mini 'Dress Up' ATC.
Me again, (chriss)
Here are Margaret's fabulous ATC's she is putting up for Junes swaps and if you would like to be in with a chance of owning one then all you have to do is join in this months theme with us.
I like to sew around the pocket to stabilize it, however if you don't have a sewing machine you could hand stitch around the edges to add a bit of texture 
I hope you have as much fun with this as I did, enjoy!

A while ago I was shown how to make a folder page pocket which can be used for all sorts of things!!
I decided to use this idea as the ATC and make a little dress that tucks neatly into the pocket.
Start by cutting or ripping your page into a 13cm x 19.5 rectangle
see Margarets tute by clicking on the link below
I like to sew around the pocket to stabilize it, however if you don't have a sewing machine you could hand stitch around the edges to add a bit of texture
You can decorate the pocket if you like, I added some tissue scraps to the back and front to give it a little colour.
Cut the dress template to fit your pocket and get decorating!

I hope you have as much fun with this as I did, enjoy!
Me again,
Thank you Margaret.
When you have completed your ATC's please add them to your blog leave a link on this post and we will come and visit you.
Let the fashion show begin!!!!
