That is devastating about the Secret Agent trench, because I have that pattern and I love it! It’s such a satisfying, easy sew. We need a Secret Agent outreach project!

I am just about ready to stitch the elastic casing down on the two everyday skirts made for Imogen – had to make a trip to Spotlight because the 1/2 inch elastic mysteriously disappeared at the last minute.

I am now trying to get the table clear so I can set the machines up to do this and then I can also get going on the lisette knit comino.…[Read more]

I had a lovely evening fitting a RTW top for a friend to wear to a wedding. It was very satisfying to take the dress from a sack to lovely and curve hugging. It was also fun to watch her daughter play with the scraps in my sewing area and hand sew a mini pillow. It was a very pleasant evening 🙂

@dubhels2003– getting there. The pants were moved to the “grow into this before finishing” pile, and the 2 vintage patterned blouses need only buttonholes and buttons (awaiting on a button order to arrive in the post before final button decisions are made), otherwise, I only have the seashore dress and vintage patterned dress left to finish before…[Read more]
