NECESSARY STUFF
Since my recent sudden and quite unexpected illness I have lost a bit of weight, so most of my sewing recently has been alterations. Ugh! this would usually bring on a long list of things I would rather do than … Continue reading
SO FAR…….
A lady can change her mind can’t she? Well, I certainly can, and have. In this post I made a point of saying that my so called ‘mystery’ Burda M104 jacket wasn’t meant to have a lining. I put one in and … Continue reading
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

DID I NOT LIKE THAT?
No I blooming well didn’t!! Although I do love this pattern [Islander Jacket Express] [and this is the third time of making, so far and will not be the last] this particular version was just like sewing a candlewick bedspread. I … Continue reading
SUN’S OUT ~
and the tantrum is over. I can’t blame Lucie [http://lovelucie1.wordpress.com] for my own shortcomings really, but she is so clever at such a lot of things that I can’t resist just peeking to see what she is up to. I … Continue reading
THE GOOD,THE BAD AND THE UGLY
I find the reviews put up this month by some of the sewing bloggers I follow very interesting. It is always illuminating to see what they think are the best of their makes, those they haven’t worn very much and … Continue reading
