Well, I've been sewing up a storm that's what! Last weekend I made 2 wearable toiles for 2 knit tops and they both worked a treat. I don't have any photos though. I also made my daughter a pair of shorts. I even tissue fitted them on her cos I couldn't be bothered making a toile. I discovered that she needs more back crotch length. Who would've thought?!
The Australian Sewing Guild had their annual industry day at Simplicity a couple of weeks ago. Patterns (Burda, Simplicity & New Look) were $5 so I got ten. Here they are:
Simplicity 4076 (yes, I already have this but this one is the smaller sizes!), New Look 6729 and Burda 8503.
New Look 6735 (this is one of the Ts I made on the weekend), 6160 & 6875
Simplicity 8523 & 2977 (another one of my wearable toiles)
Burda 8341 & 7966 (my daughter's shorts)
I'm also going away for the weekend, sewing.
Sharon organised this retreat for us. I am currently organising my projects into ziplock bags. I'll be making real versions of the 2 knit tops, another pair of shorts for DD, a skort for myself and possibly a bag. I may even cut out my Amy Butler weekender since I now (finally) have all the bits & pieces sorted. Note I'm not attempting to sew it on the weekend. I think it will involve much muttering so it's probably best if I sew this in the privacy of my own sewing room. :)

Go hard Alison. I'm really excited to see your projects. 3 more sleeps to go :-)
Only 2 more sleeps and yes can't wait to see your new knit tops and check out the skort.
See you soon.
It was really lovely to meet you and your Mum - was really 2 weeks ago?
