BACKLOG
The inclination to sew has only just crept through the door this week, after being absent for a couple of weeks or so due to a sudden and unexpected indisposition and being confined to bed. Usually this doesn’t deter me from … Continue reading
THIS TIME OF YEAR BRINGS UNCERTAINTY.
Here in England our unpredictable weather becomes even more unpredictable and certain items of the wardrobe tend to yo-yo in and out of the closets. Unless we are very organised the agenda for Winter sewing becomes a moveable feast with … Continue reading
NOT QUITE M.I.A.
Missing perhaps, but certainly in action. Sorry for the long silence, I’ve been a bit under the weather and I just haven’t got around to taking the pictures. Trouble is I have forgotten what I’ve shown and what I haven’t, so … Continue reading
VISIBLE!

Good finishing touches take almost as long as making the jacket itself. In fact making this jacket was probably quicker than trying to figure out what it was in the first place or the finishing touches. Unfortunately the linen-type fabric … Continue reading
ERRORS AND OMISSIONS
Nothing too drastic this time, but I expect that Kristy Chan would like me to point out that she doesn’t [necessarily] make something out of each Burda magazine, but that she has actually set herself a challenge to make something out … 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
THE MYSTERY BURDA – #01/03/M104
If you’re a hoarder, take heart from this post! Bear with me it’s a bit convoluted. It started with reading this post from Kristy Chan. A lovely skirt to die for, and it started me thinking about skirt patterns and … Continue reading
