Don’t you love when the fabric gets to decide?

After a busy few days I am still yet to complete the hopscotch dresses. Just the hems to do though.

I pulled out my basket of knit remnants and have been fishing through sorting them out by colour. It is the project for the long weekend, to try and use up as much of it as I can with the playtime…[Read more]

That sounds so pretty Lisa

I was in Spotlight yesterday @Wagyu Burger amd couldn’t even get the pram down the aisle it was that junked up with stuff! I have already made one complaint about it.

Well the apple picking dress is now done and now I am on to making some last minute hopscotch tops and dresses. I have three on the go and am sewing the assembly style.

That’s a great tip, and I think your advice is sound, thank you!
