NOT KEEPING UP APPEARANCES
In keeping a record of my recent makes here on this blog I mean, not in the Mrs.Bucket sense! So much so that I have to read my own blog to find out what I have done. Not good. Trouble … Continue reading
NOT QUITE LIFE -v- ART! [an apology of sorts]
When you keep a blog-diary you inevitably collect a lot of photos in your media file. As it is approaching the end of another year of wearing 95% of my own hand made clothes [the other 5% allowed for tights, … Continue reading
VISIBLE!
I have a camera ~ so this will be a pic-heavy post with minimal words I’m afraid in order to catch up with finished items before they’re forgotten. Once again I apologise for my photography – I may have another … Continue reading

IT’S A JUNGLE OUT THERE!
It’s Hot. I’m English – I don’t do hot. It’s muggy too. Only to be expected after all the rain that fell [remember the floods a few months ago?] and consequently all the residual moisture hanging about. But I like … Continue reading
ANOTHER THRIFTY MAKE – BURDA 8503
This blouse was super easy and super quick to make. The most time was taken fitting the princess seams, which I had to take in quite a bit. I also brought the front edges in so that it buttoned higher … Continue reading
WHAT’S UP DOC?

WHITE SHIRT AND CLICHES
Well I clearly didn’t listen to myself when I told me that I would finish the white shirt last weekend. I did do some sewing on it, but I actually finished it completely today [Wednesday]. Just three days late, I … Continue reading

U.F.O.s
When the rains came the roof of the garden shed began to leak and one of the windows broke. Not a big deal as damage goes, but it prompted me to go and check on the plastic storage boxes I … Continue reading
THERE SEEMS TO BE
A common theme running here..it certainly isn’t intentional, but perhaps subliminally I have paid attention to the advice that women of ‘a certain age’ should wear white next to their face [women’s magazines used to be full of advice like that!] … Continue reading
VARIATIONS ON A THEME #3
Believe it or not this is essentially Kwik Sew 3555 yet again, but not quite. I had had this fabric in my stash for yonks, it moved house with us nearly 7 years ago and I could never decided what to … Continue reading
