Whittaker!

I enjoyed EVERY minute of making this pinafore!


While the pattern was pricey, the fabric was free!

So no complaints there!


The instructions are clear and detailed.

The tailoring details were time-consuming but very 

enjoyable to achieve.

It was great to focus and concentrate on new skills.


I had hoped to use my Juki's twin needle but due to 

lockdown, couldn't leave the house to shop for thread.

                
                                    Or buttons!


So eventually I found these cool hand made Liberty 

ones.

Maybe they don't exactly match the lining but I'm ok 

with that!


You get a better idea of the finishing details here....



I am really looking forward to breaking out and 

wearing this!


Until then, these photos will need to suffice!


Happy sewing!

Missing in Action....

Has it really been nearly three weeks between blog posts?


Life got in the way, I guess!

But I have been sewing, so here's a quick recap-

I found a pattern for my lightweight denim 

purchased in New Zealand...



  New Look #6500


Believe me, it looks far better on ME than it does on 

the sewing dummy!


I really love the fringe details!

And, yes, I started a new quilt with these fabrics!


It is a pattern called Meadowland.


I do have it pieced together but will save that until I 

can get a better photo!


 Mr. Adventure Bear is slowly coming together!


 Most evenings have been spent hand quilting my 

"Shadows of Love" quilt....



The colour is off a bit in this photo

The texture is wonderful!
I'm hoping to have this finished soon!

What have you been up to the last few weeks?

Happy sewing!

SUZ
