Hi, I've been away from blogging for a while but still busy sewing for craft fairs mainly.  I did this beautiful embroidery on calico to sell at a fair, even though I haven't sold this one it has turned out to be a bit of an earner!  I put the picture on facebook and was asked to make some in lilac for a lady for her quilt, then I was chatting to a lady at a craft fair about the quilt and she ordered six!! how good is that!! It seems that lilacs and purples are definitely the preferred colours a recycled denim purse with clothes labels on front. a couple of geek owl brooches bye for now

Good Morning, I had a great weekend..... sewing of course! from my favourite issue of Burda Style (2/2010) again. This believe it or not is the stripy top pattern #122. I find that Burda patterns are very wide across the shoulders and therefore low at front,  so I extended the pattern pieces by 3cm at the neckline. I did have to make  small adjustments on the sleeve seams to running up to the neckline as it was too wide. I now have a very comfortable top that isn't going to fall off my shoulders and show my bra straps. Even the back neck doesn't gape! A couple of weeks ago I made this Burda Style (7/2014) top #114 No adjustments were needed with this one.   I love the pattern on this fabric. I spend Sunday with my daughter helping her make her dress She is laughing not crying in this photo! Hopefully soon I will be able to show you a photo of the finished dress, it is looking really good so far! ...

I was a bit shocked to realise exactly how long I have been away from blogging! Time passes so quickly, I spend too much time looking at everyone else's blogs and neglecting my own. So here's a bit of what I have done in my absence: This green top was supposed to be for September's Magam . Although it doesn't look like it! I was very pleased with it... that is .. until I washed it. It shrunk at least 20cms in length!!!  the width stayed exactly the same so the whole thing was a mess. I had to buy another panel and insert it under the bust and make the under collar/bust straps shorter. I was very disappointed about this as the result isn't really good at all, its ok under a cardigan to hide the new panel, so I suppose I may wear it occasionally. But now to something perfect!! My first grandaughter arrived in October, oooh she is so tiny and cute. This is me with my mum, daughter and 3 week old grandaughter - 4...
