It’s Done! Well almost…
My sister will be happy, another garment has been (almost) finished in what I’m calling my Sister’s Sewing Projects. This one is a vintage pattern from 1978, Simplicity 8510. It must be a favourite of my sister’s for her to keep it safe all this time. The fabric is a similar beige as in the pattern…

DESIGNIN’ DECEMBER! Speechless
Just Speechless… Tonight for DESIGNIN’ DECEMBER I have the pleasure of introducing the one and only Mads of Life in A “Mads” House. Mads might have come to her design in a roundabout way but she has made a lovely copy of this designer dress by Elie Saab.

It really is BLACK!
Honestly, why is BLACK so difficult to photograph? It must just suck in all the light around it! Anyway… I have finished my 4th pair of pants, black ones, after spending extensive time with the muslin and making three pairs after that. I thought my blue pair was my favourite – best fitting and lovely fabric. Those…

I used Sandra Betzina’s Vogue pattern V2948…

Not really heavy rain, but that rain that makes you think “Do I need an umbrella or not?” I have been staring at my sewing projects too, perhaps waiting for them to magically put themselves together. That hasn’t happened yet.…

Seams right!
Progress has been made on the two pairs of jeans I have been making. If you missed the first steps, you can read about them in my post here. I have been following a Craftsy course, “Sewing Designer Jeans” with Angela Wolf and using bits and pieces of a couple of patterns, Vogue V2948 and Vogue V8774.…

I (heart) RED!!
The Monthly Stitch Challenge in February was “Miss Bossy” telling us what solid colour we must sew up. Miss Bossy’s commands for me were: yellow (which makes me look like the walking dead!), blue (which I love), or RED (which I really love). So lucky me, Miss Bossy was surprisingly kind and told me I had…
