I finished my @theassemblylineshop cuff dress last I finished my @theassemblylineshop cuff dress last night and it's looking lush! πŸ’œ The viscose challis from @rainbowfabrickilburn was lovely to sew with and I can't get enough of that purple and orange combo. 🧑 I had a few concerns about 'old lady vibes' as I was sewing, but the finished dress looks super pretty and now I can't wait to swish around in it! πŸ’œ
I made some chocolate and marshmallow scones last I made some chocolate and marshmallow scones last week and served them with the leftover cream from my Semlor - they were TASTY! 🀀 But let's be honest - this picture is really just an excuse to show off my gorgeous hand-knitted jumper. πŸ’β€β™€οΈ @patsypoomakes (who is a fantastic seamstress AND an awesome knitter) made it for me for Christmas and it is AMAZING! πŸ’— You can find out more about the pattern/yarn on her original post and see lots more of her brilliant knitting over on her grid. πŸ‘­
I think I first saw the phrase #sewingboner used b I think I first saw the phrase #sewingboner used by @jasikaistrycurious - it was quickly adopted and is now said frequently (with the associated phallic emoji of course) whenever @patsypoomakes and I chat about sewing! πŸ† The absolute LEGEND that is @pinkcoatclub made us these exclusive 'sewing boner' labels for Christmas and they are BRILLIANT! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ I'm making a @theassemblylineshop #TALCuffDress in this lush viscose from @rainbowfabrickilburn this week and I sure hope I get to use one of these bad boys! πŸ˜„ I'm very curious to know... what gives you a sewing boner? A sharp collar point? Immaculate topstitching? A perfect button hole? Please share in the comments! πŸ’β€β™€οΈ
