What are you working on during this week between Christmas and New Year?

Betwixmas Sewing

My mum has lent me her old Singer machine (possibly from the 80s), so this week is mostly going to be using scraps to see how it works. It's got a lot more functionality than my mini machine and different feet attachments too, so lots to learn. My first project on it will be a kindle case for my new kindle. Or a bookmark.

Oooh that sounds fun! Those machines are real workhorses!

I've made a couple of Billie jumpers. One was a practice in sweatshirt fabric and the real deal was a nerida hansen flower french terry. Love the pattern and amazed how quick I can sew it up on my overlocker. Next is a Lyra dress but I'm putting off cutting it out...

Ah I love a Billie jumper, so speedy to make up!

I've just completed 'smatchy-matchy' pj shorts (Tilly and the Buttons Jaime) for my sister and I. I'm going to SA soon, and seeing her for the first time in two years. I can't wait.

Oh my gosh that's lovely!! She's going to love them!
