This post
was originally supposed to be me boasting about my amazing sewing skills making
Tilly and the buttons' pyjama trousers from her
book, "Love at First Stitch". BUT my sewing machine broke half way
through making them so now I have 2 unattached pyjama legs which will have
to be hand stitched (not happening) or will have to wait until I can borrow my
mum's spare machine. Quel dommage.
It did
alright my little machine but now I need a more sturdy model for future
projects. I don't suppose anyone want to sell me a cheapish sewing machine??
Instead,
let's look at the amazing things I have made with my pretty, but not so
durable, machine. Farewell old friend.....
My most
favourite skirt. It also matches my friends' curtains and I made a matching
cushion. Good old Cath Kidston Ikea fabric. Super cheap and super lovely.
Flower print and pockets! Magnifique

Matching
cushion
I loved
the skirt so much I made in two more fabrics, polka dot and Brighton Pavilion.
Both bought from the Aladdin's cave of fabrics, Hanson's in Sturminster Newton.
The most
difficult garment I have made to date was this dress. It is a beautiful ditsy
print and really fun to wear but it wasn't half fiddly. My mum has made a few
more in the same style but I need to gather a bit more confidence before I
tackle it again.
