This was one of those where the display in the shop just sold it! Well done Black Sheep! I had seen this lovely wool on previous visits, but wasn’t sure what to do with it. However, this time they had patterns on display and most importantly made up jumpers. I wanted! The jumper only takes …

Historic Transport Day Outfit 2019
I wanted a new outfit for transport day this year. I was thinking something that I could wear normally as well if I wanted. I had found a really soft denim type fabric with a daisy pattern on it (the family have always liked daisies since my sister called her daughter Daisy 🙂 ), which …

Jeans & Cords
How have I nearly forgotten about the pair of jeans I made? And even the cords before that for Milly. This pattern was picked because Milly likes ‘Mom jeans’.

Kids things
This was the first clothing sewn for grandkids. I didn’t want to be stereotypical, so she got blue and trains! I loved the bubble / puffball skirt on this. Next I tried a very simple jersey ra-ra dress: I then continued to put off trying the baby-gro, by doing some knitting instead!!! Before finally being …
