Waiting for fabric and pattern to arrive to make the Fleur blouse from Fabric Godmother. Pattern and voucher were Christmas presents. Also need to make a memory bear out of baby clothes.

I love the idea of a memory bear, so sweet! Look forward to seeing the Fleur blouse!

Just made this wearable toile/muslin for the Seamwork Greer dress. Lengthened it in 2 places as I'm v long in the torso, took some curve out of the bust and graded out at the hips. The Real One is going to be a vivid green. Excuse the wrinkly side seams, it needs a good press, but my husband (photographer!) was in a hurry!

Happy New Year! 

It's my daughter's 4th birthday on Monday so I'm busy making her the Roslyn dress from Little Lizard King in a frozen brushed cotton. I'm hoping to have it finished by Saturday before her princess  party on Sunday 😬😬😬

Bodice is done, sleeves are in, just the skirt now.

Have you got your first project of 2025 cut out and ready to sew? Or are you planning what it will be?

Knickers...that's my first make of 2025.

TATB Iris and it's been a sharp learning curve using folded elastic for the trims. Will try lace next time.

I've just finished my first attempt at a Tote bag - added the top flap to hide some horrendous stitching - but pleased it's done and can't wait to use it.   I am just waiting for some brass press studs for the front closure.

Thank you.  It's Faux leather that I quilted - came in a kit from Country Cow Designs Newquay.

My first make of the year finished. It's a Xmas table topper. I did want it done for last month, but will come in for this year. The trees are done using foundation paper piecing.
