Another Evening Dress
I love an excuse to dress up, and to sew, so the chance to go to another RAF AC Squadron Dining In means – another dress 🙂 I hadn’t liked wearing a shawl (to cover shoulders throughout the meal) last time, so wanted a dress which covered them anyway. Hours trawling the internet and patterns …

King Cole Shine Jumper Ta-Da
This one has been quite slow going. I made the sleeves longer, as I hate sleeves being too short!! I probably didn’t need to though, as it has stretched quite a bit. I like the finished product and am wearing it a lot, but I am disappointed with a few things – the fact it …

Christmas Stuff
Mum bought a ‘money pouch’ at a craft fayre somewhere, got chatting to them about it and found the website they got the FREE design from for me 🙂 https://www.kreativekiwiembroidery.co.nz/ So I had to have a go. I did the smaller version to use as labels. This was my first attempt with fabric I had …

Evening Dress 2
Version 2 of this dress, using a dark green satin, View E of the design, for Milly. Hopefully, although the fronts are the same, they will look sufficiently different for the Dining-In. I am not very good at this blogging. I was so stressed out doing the straps I forgot to take any photos. In …

King Cole Shine Jumper
I bought some of this lovely wool while taking my mother-in-law to the wool shop. They only had 2 balls, but I got it anyway, no idea what to make with it! When I was there again I bought another ball, thinking I would need at least 3 for a garment! When I eventually found …

Patchwork project bag
I saw the instructions for this in Black Sheep Wools, before they got rid of their fabric section. It is nice and big for plenty of wool!! And rather effective in how it is made. I used strips of fabric from various different projects. Full width of the fabric where possible, 8 x 3″ strips. …

Summer skirt and top
I bought this fabric to go with the Spirit of Life crochet wrap, but in the end I thought this was a bit too bright, and probably distracted from the wrap itself. I fancied frills, so a fair bit of ruffling, but I just simply overlocked the edges. Obviously it has POCKETS!!! The top was …

Another Carousel
My husband had really liked this blanket, in fact he had chosen it as the next one to do, and then I gave it away, so I had to make another. I have gone more random with the colours this time (from part three), and not followed the order in the pattern, although I have …

Camo shorts and cropped trousers
I wanted some cropped trousers and couldn’t find any I liked in the shops. To be honest, I didn’t really look – I would much rather make my own!! I found some more camo fabric in Abakhan, and got this pattern to match. In hindsight I questioned my pattern choice – as the jeans pattern …

Evening Dress
I knew about the Air Cadets annual Dining In when I had my ‘fabric day’ back in May. I didn’t find a suitable silk on my travels, which is what I really want. But I found this fabric that I liked the design on that I thought could be suitable. It was only £3.95 a …
