Hello there from a very wet, cold and windy England !
I feel I need a month in the sun, this weather that we are having is so depressing, and it’s done nothing for either my mojo OR the produce growing in my garden :-(
I didn't manage to get round to the 3 skirts, I just made one ! I needed to change the pattern a little, and wanted to check it was all ok before cutting fabrics. Just in case. You know how it is.
I used up the green polka dot fabric and am really happy with the result, but you can definitely see me coming when I am wearing it, it’s pretty darn LOUD.
So you are probably wondering where the photos are. I can’t tell you how bleak this last week has been weather wise and as such no photos have been snapped. But I will take some snaps tomorrow, I promise.
Next up I would like to try a Sorbetto (late to the party I know) and the Sewaholic Cambie Dress. How much do I love that dress by the way ! the only problem is that I don’t fit the pattern right out the envelope (such a drag !) and I am not really sure how to change it so it fits me. Oh well I guess I will have to try and have a go as I cant bear to be without that dress for much longer. I have even purchased 2 lengths of floral’s in order to create.
In other news studying has been hectic, but I am rewarded with my last 2 assignment scores both being 88% ! I know, right ?
I also was lucky enough to get an iPad from Mr P as an early birthday present, and I have become TOTALLY ADDICTED to the games 'Camelot' and 'Drawsome'. My word those 2 little apps can suck up time like no ones business.
So, I hope for some time to sew tonight, maybe the sorbetto. But not sure if I want to try sans pleat first, I guess I will see how I feel later. I have a lovely sheer Swiss dot fabric, white with yellow spots that I want to use.
And thanks again people for keeping me thoroughly infused with sewing goodness when I seem to barely have enough time to sleep, let alone sew !
Happy Friday people, I hope you all have magical weekends !

So sorry about your crummy weather! We're having plenty of sunshine over here-- searing, scorching sunshine! Before you cut out your Sorbetto fabric, hold the pattern up in front of you to check the length. Luckily I made a muslin before I made mine because it was about 2" shorter than I'm comfortable with and seemed to run short on many people who made it (unless you're looking for a crop top LOL).
ReplyDeleteAlso-- happy birthday!!!!!
You tease! I can't wait to see the spotty skirt. I just bought the Cambie dress pattern too - I've been seeing so many amazing versions of it online!
ReplyDeleteOops! And happy birthday too!
DeleteHey there, thanks for the birthday wishes ladies but its not until August! The iPad was a super early gift. But thanks for the good wishes anyway :-) Gail, that Cambie haunts my sleep, but I think I will need to make lots of changes to it and do some grading, its putting me off ! I so wish I was the size of the patterns without having to make changes. Ginger, I am extremely jealous of your good weather, ours literally sucks right now. Its hectic rain again today ! Thanks for the warning re the sorbetto, I could see straight away that it was blatantly gonna be too short ! I dont think I have the body, or weather ! for crop tops ! lol :-)
