Spring has sprung....straight into summer!

With the sunshine has come a desire to sew something new for myself, the skirt is the Langeness pattern by Farbenmix and the T shirt Katherine by Ottobre Design

Chloe's first project

Chloe has been telling me for a little while now that she wants to have a go at sewing, so this afternoon we finally found the time to have a go. Apart from the cutting out (she's left handed and right handed sewing scissors really don't work) she did it by herself.....




 




I think she did really well and has every right to be proud of herself (I am!)

Spring Greens

It was non uniform day for Chloe today and she decided to bring spring to the classroom.....



Roses are Red?

....well more pink in this case! Now some sunshine to make it warm enough to wear them would be nice...

Pretty In Pink!

I've had this pink and grey material for a few years and having made a pair of grey trousers for Chloe I thought now was the ideal time to make it into a top. I used a Japanese pattern from the book Mademoiselle for a raglan sleeve tunic and yesterday the sun came out for long enough for Chloe to model it!
