New York New York

Two tops for Chloe, both with a common theme however.....



....because I couldn't resist the fabrics!

I can't believe it's November....

How time has flown...Chloe started secondary school in September and loves it, celebrated her 12th birthday at the end of September and went bowling with her friends:


Having grown a lot in height over the past six months a new bike was an ideal birthday present:


And that is why my blog has been so quiet... I've been too busy sewing!!!

Chloe's Year 6 Leavers Ball

I can't believe the time has nearly come for my little girl to leave primary school. She's had a great year, came home with a fantastic report on Friday and went back to school for an evening to remember....

Birthday Celebrations

I've had a wonderful weekend celebrating my 40th Birthday, which started with a party on Saturday night, being spoilt rotten by friends and family with some fantastic presents and culminating in a family dinner tonight.

Our French Adventure

This year Chloe's school residential was a trip to France, which luckily for me also meant I was asked if I would like to go too.....

And what a fantastic week we had!

Made to Measure

I don't normally sew without a pattern, however as I didn't have one I made it up as I went along....A little tedious but Chloe likes her new backpack which is just as well as she'll be carrying it round for her week residential trip to France soon!

Plethora of Patchwork

Scarves and then tee shirts...I'm not sure just how many bits of jersey I've sewn together recently, but I do know I've made some space in my remnant box!!!

Another loop scarf for Chloe, accompanied by two tee shirts both made using remnants...

The Teal Deal

A new tee shirt for me this time, in a new colour too, accompanied by a loop jersey scarf for me which I loved making from lots and lots of jersey scraps...








Dotty Again......

Chloe only asked for a couple of skirts for this winter, and the sun finally decided to shine when she was wearing one...complete with a new coordinated scarf.
