I finished this @stylearc #SALaceyDress last week I finished this @stylearc #SALaceyDress last week and my timing couldn't have been better - it is already my hot weather HERO!๐ŸŒกThe fabric is a beautifully light linen/cotton blend, which is still available from @fabworksmillshop - it was a delight to sew and is soft, cool and comfortable to wear. ๐Ÿ˜ I made the size 8 and the only change was to swap the in-seam pockets for patch pockets to give me another opportunity to play with stripe direction. โœ‚๏ธ This was a super quick and easy dress to sew and is definitely a pattern I will use again - a big tick all round for my 6th #makenine2022 project! โœ…๏ธ
Last week I sewed some new bunting for our patio! Last week I sewed some new bunting for our patio! โ˜€๏ธ This was one of the first projects I completed when I was learning to sew, but after 15 years the original bunting was very faded and tatty, so I recycled it after last summer. โ™ป๏ธ 10 cheerful FQs, 12m of herringbone tape and a LOT of maths was all I needed and now our patio is looking lovely again! ๐Ÿ’™
Mog has begrudgingly joined me to say a big THANK Mog has begrudgingly joined me to say a big THANK YOU this morning! ๐Ÿ’— I have been absolutely blown-away by the interest in my quilted jacket challenge. ๐Ÿคฏ I shared my project because I thought a few people might be curious about the timings... now my blog post has been read by over 1000 people! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ I have had lots of comments, messages and new followers and my challenge has sparked some really interesting conversations within the sewing community, so I just wanted to express my appreciation (and share this ridiculous photo!) ๐Ÿ’•
