I used to be
afraid of my sewing machine. My machine is a 1974 Singer and belonged to my Granny who used it for many many projects. When I first got it, I has now idea how to get it to do what I wanted and we fell out a lot!
Over the years, I have taken the odd sewing workshop here and there and have made friends with old faithful who has helped me make some great wee frocks for Poppet, a table runner in our family tartan, and even some clothes for myself!

| Pattern matching this was a total nightmare! It looks amazing though. |
|
 |
| Usually, I'm sewing at the dining table, among all the debris of every day life! |
 |
| I'm hugely into flamingo print at the moment! I made a skirt with this fabric and I love lfouncing about in it! |
|
|
 |
| I had some of this leftover from a dress I made myself, so naturally, made shorts for my girl |
 |
| The mustard bias binding totally sets it off |
 |
| Ice cream shorts |
 |
| Shorts for a boy, these were a fun print! |
 |
| One of my most recent makes is this beautiful cape in Liberty purple |
 |
| I used Liberty tana lawn bias binding and covered my own buttons to match |
 |
| 9m of hand sewn binding... |

| Pattern cutting |
 |
| This is my latest make, a Merchant and Mills Trapeze dress in a grey/pink tartan print |
I have plans for some more skirts and a few short sleeved tops for the (hopefully) upcoming spring weather, so watch this space for more!
Until next time,
