And I found a nice blue circular table cloth at the op shop to use as a base for the skirt!

I finally found the time to talk to my niece (8) to get some clarification on what she was envisioning by “Hermione’s ball dress”. Thankfully much easier than I would have made it 🙂 Square neck bodice with long flutter sleeves. Bodice to end at belly button level. And a tiered floaty skirt. All one colour in a light blue silky flowy fabric.…[Read more]

We’re having summer storms here today! I think I will cut out some more tshirts rather than risk plugging the machines in to sew them up!
It’s just started hailing!

Finally finished mum’s messenger bag! And I’ve worked out what pattern to base Hermione’s ball dress off 🙂

hopscotch dress! Easy to sew, especially if you have a serger. Easy to wear as it’s made from knit fabric 🙂

I’m back to having another go at my shorts muslin. This one is an improvement but I’d say I’ve got at least 2 muslins to go to be really happy with the fit.
I’m also sewing up another messenger bag for Mum for Christmas 🙂

My waist is too big for my pants
I wonder if, maybe, by chance
They shrunk in the wash

I was also thinking it was almost exactly the Woodland stroll/forest path cape!

You’d never believe it, I swear

I also have the Janome 1000cpx. I use it at least once a week. I love having separate machines so they can be set up ready to go all the time and I can swap from one to the other half way through a project 🙂
I really like the extra room in the harp of the Janome. There has been multiple times when I’ve been very glad it’s there. I also use…[Read more]

A perfect chance to fabric play
With patterns and trim
