Stick a fork in me ...

Wardrobe in a Week is done!

Here is the Enid Gilchrist dress, front and back. I'll blog more about this pattern tomorrow.


Next up is the Ruby shorts with the top and overblouse. I've forgotten the numbers and I'm too lazy to look them up, but they are in last weeks post. Both tops are BWOF.
This one is shorts and top alone. You may be able to see the chocolate brown topstitching on the top. I've used the same buttons on the shorts and the blouse.

This is an extra I sneaked in. It's BWOF 06-2007-120.

Hope your not caught up in the north coast fires. That long dress is smoking hot! I love it. I haven't had much time to sew lately - sick mother, daughter's HSC.

Flooded in again ...

In an unseasonal downpour I find myself flooded in. You would think I would be sewing but, no, I'm not. I spent several hours watching episodes of Jeeves and Wooster on DVD before finally coercing Grant into taking his SWAP pictures, which will be seen in the fullness of time. I did, however, sew last weekend although only one garment as we had a family lunch on Sunday that took over my day. To wear to that lunch I made this dress. It's my TNT sheath based on Vogue 8146. I squeezed this out of a generous yard and as you can see from the picture, there was very little fabric left. I have many things cut out and I will be doing some more sewing later in the week but today I don't have the focus for it. On Sunday after the family lunch I stopped into Fantazia Fabricland in Tweed Heads and made some random purchases that have made me wonder what was going on in my head at the time. I purchased a crimson burnout fabric that I have no idea what to do with, a leopard print that

I've been busy. Too much going on. My energy is limited and my mojo almost non existent. I have made a few things, but nothing really very exciting. These jeans are from the free Burda style Anita jeans pattern that I make every time. Somehow I managed to erase all the other pictures I took and this is the only one left on the camera. Of course, I managed to keep the one that makes me look 6months pregnant. I used a heavy duty thread for the top stitching but I won't do that again, it looks a little cartoony to me. Still, the fit is good and I needed jeans desperately. Boy do I look fat in this picture! This is KS 33378 I think, the twist neck top that I have binned every time I've made it. This time it seems to work. This is an incredibly soft rayon jersey from Gorgeous Fabrics. The fabric will probably stretch a lot with wear, but it feels so lovely on my skin I don't care if it looks too big. I knit this from a Jo Sharp pattern in an alpaca and silk blen
