At last I have photographs

The main motivation for starting this blog was to document my sewing projects.  Because I have been sewing for year now, I thought it would be OK to include my 2010 projects...turns out there are quite a few but I will anyway.
Tessuti enzym washed linen
Vintage Vogue pattern 1627 Calvin Klein : My Mum made me this in Liberty wool when I was in my 20's and then in purple linen, thankfully she kept the pattern.  I love it, gathered front middle and back middle but not at the sides.


My lovely friend and neighbour Wendy gave me this fabric in the summer.  She had bought it at Tessuti some time ago but hadn't made it up and thought I'd like it....I quickly made it into this Japanese pattern

from this book

I also made this skirt from my Nooy Japanese pattern book, Tessuti fabric again..

and from the same book, over Easter I made this top with Liberty wool/cotton from Tessuti and have barely had it off since! I made the medium which is a 9 and it is a bit too large for me although I am a size 10 - next time, and there will be a next time with this pattern, I will go a size smaller.


Such beautiful fabric

Same book - simple tunic

Enough, enough...
there have been various other bits and pieces, Tessuti's 'fave t-shirt' pattern being a stand out favourite of mine, but that is enough for now....
