Yay for a new craft shop!
I have put the shorts away while I work out how to fix/fit them. I moved onto a pair of TNT legging and matching Colette Mabel skirt which I can get out of 2m of fabric! I know these will fit and get worn every week as I already have matching leggings and Mabel skirt in 2 other colours 🙂

Thanks for the good wishes Tamara, I’m pretty much back to normal now.
I bought, stuck, traced, cut and sewed a muslin of the Colette Iris shorts. However I’m now extremely frustrated because of the major fit issues! I was hoping that The Colette draft might work quite well in the shorts as the Mabel Skirt fits beautifully. But it looks…[Read more]

I borrowed them from another pattern. I added the sleeves from the school photo Dress to the family reunion dress. I used the sleeve cap of the family reunion and the bottom part of the school photo sleeve.

Great work Tamara!
I haven’t sewn as I’ve been sick this week 🙁 However I did get to go Op shopping today and came back with some nice pieces of fabric to use for Christmas gifts I’m making:)

Lightning, can you print off multiple patterns as a ‘single’ job? that could well make it worthwhile 🙂

I found one place in Hobart that will do it but I haven’t tried them yet.

There once was a quilter named Lizzy
But quilting was making her dizzy
So she looked for a dress

If she’s asked for it and you feel comfortable then go for it 🙂 I expect she will rember the matching dresses for years to come and feel so grown up to be matching Mum!

I’ve finished the garden party top. It was a lovley sew, I very much enjoyed just following the instructions and making no changes this time 🙂
I think I’ll spend some time Doing buttons and buttonholes today. I don’t normally leave them but I have a Seashore sundress and an Art Museum Vest that both need them.

It’s very frustrating! I don’t think spotlight in Australia has any of the non Mcalls patterns 🙁 And I can’t seem to find a download version either. Back to the ideas board.

Hope you don’t end up in hospital, especially with it being so far away!
I’m working on a Garden Party top in a gorgeous blue and white floral 🙂

Oh Tamara! That is an amazing blessing! I had been wondering how it would go with new wife and the farm. So glad that the worry over the house is gone 🙂

What about the Tea Party Playsuit especially made from some gorgeous striped seersucker?
