Busy but lovely. My jacket is still not finished but I did have a fantastic day out with the lovely sewing bloggers in Brighton (Photos from Clare!) We did a great swap but yet again I got rid of 3 and came back with more!
We also had a quick look around Ditto and I got some planned purchases there!
So here's my stash!
These are the Jerseys. I think the top one will be a nice Kwik Sew wrap dress again! I have a feeing that pattern is going to be pretty constant in my wardrobe.
The lovely poly is lovely and slinky. I was thinking it could make a nice slip but I'm concerned its a little staticky
This top one is a cute little floral cotton that is perfect for a sorely needed pair of PJ's! The bottom one is corduroy and I'm hoping I can manage a Parfait out of it!
Last two are my planned purchases. The navy Ponte was on sale for £3 odd. Someone has recently posted about Ponteroma Pants (Trouser kind.) I've got 4m so I can squeeze out a dress or cardigan too!
The bottom fabric is a waterproofing I saw during the week. I waited until Saturday to make sure I was sure. It was £7 per meter but its great quality. I had great fun testing it for being waterproof! Its more of a bronze colour than the photo suggests but I thought it would make an awesome Minoru and I am in need of a waterproof jacket big time!
In other news I made some curtains for our bedroom!
Sorry for the dark photos...
I bought the fabric AGES ago from Ikea intending to make Grey curtains but I only got around to doing it this week. 2 hours later I had curtains! I'm really happy with them and they match the rug and our painted furniture! Now to get the bedding and mattress sorted and we have a proper bedroom!
Love the curtains! it was so lovely to see you again in Brighton, Stevie. Not sure if I said it at the time, but your wrap dress is divine!! x
ReplyDeleteFab curtains!
ReplyDeleteAnd I especially like your floral corduroy. A bit frustrating that Ditto online doesn't seem to include everything that's in the shop... but I suppose it would be hard for them to keep track of stock.
Have you decided make another wrap dress with the pin floral jersey hun(a former resident of Claire's Stash ;) )? :)
