Yesterday, I managed to get some sewing done. I went to Spotlight this
week and they have flannel on sale at 40% off. I let Jarvis pick two; he picked
this lovely cream fabric with an alphabet print, plus a red with a white star. So
as modelled by my assistant blogger, typing the old fashioned way, Jarvis has
new pyjamas.
I finally did something with a floral dress I have had for ages. I held
off cutting it up from a dress, as the dress was cute. But not only being way
too big for me I knew with my olive skin that the colours would look all wrong
on me. So yesterday it got the chop. The waist band is not perfect, as I had to
use the fabric in the top of the dress to create it, there are seams around the
band. It sits a lot fuller around the hips on me than on the mannequin. So I am
happy with the end result.
I also got some cushion
covers made, which I will post about later with images. But for now it is back
to the garden. Seeing it is International Day of the Woman. You can hear me
roaring in the backyard, I am the one, mowing, whipper snipping and chain sawing.
I will tame that garden. It will become a place that produces food rather than
just weeds.
Great work! Hope whipping the garden in to shape goes well.
ReplyDeleteAlmost done with the garden clean up, and have the blisters to show for it.
DeleteLove the pj's and that skirt material is just lovely! x
ReplyDeleteThe material of the skirt is really pretty, and it is a nice mid-weight cotton.
