I’m on to at least my 6th muslin of my bathers top! The band fits well, one side is good and I think the other side is nearly there. It has been a very long frustrating process.

I’m not sure yet! still trying to find the time to finish it. Luckily the last day of term is tomorrow 🙂

looking forward to seeing that top Nicole 🙂
I haven’t done much sewing The last couple of weeks. Today I’m having another go at getting a properly fitted pair of bathers!

Does anyone know how these sandals hold up to being worn to the swimming pool?
I’m looking for something nicer than my fake crocs to wear, so I look more dressed up after my daily swim 🙂

Garden Party dress? It would look amazing with a sheer overlay. Just cut the pieces twice and sew them as one.

The denim quilt is pretty big, 140×225cm (50″×90″). This was what I was aiming for as my friend is about 6’4″ (190cm) and his eldest son is already that height at 15! Being very tall myself, I hated beautiful looking blankets that didn’t cover both my feet and shoulders! So I made it extra long, this should also allow multiple members of the f…[Read more]

I haven’t done a lot of sewing recently. But today I finished the denim quilt I’ve been working on 🙂

Pinstripe black Art Museum Vest to match the Secret Agent Trench Coat I made last month 🙂
I was just thinking the Hula Hoop Skirt would be perfect 🙂

I made myself another Penny pinafore, this time the dress, for book week assembly. I started it after work yesterday and had it finished by bedtime. I love having a TNT pattern for me!

I finished the denim quilt top now I need to get some coral fleece for the background. Last time I was at Spotlight there wasn’t much choice 🙁
I’ve also pinned a quilt sandwich and sewn 4 lines of quilting. This is the last of the 4 quilt tops I made over 4 years ago when my fiend was pregnant with #4!

I love the separate machines. It would really annoy me to switch back and forth and I wouldn’t use the coverstitch as much. As well as my regular overlocker I also have one set up exclusively for rolled hem. I’m definitely in the dedicated machine for the job 🙂

I’ve also seen it too short before to small.

Looking fantastic 🙂
