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!

Home Sweet Home

I recently had the pleasure of testing a pattern for 

Allison of Campbell Soup Diary!

There are four graphic designs to choose from in the 

"Stitches" set....

And I worked three of them into a new

sewing machine cover.

The needle is a little wonky because I made it from felt

I'm considering writing a tutorial, 

if anyone is interested....

I had this mauve fabric in my stash...

which was the perfect lining!

I figured my pretty "new" Singer 348 machine 

deserved a new cover.

Maybe it needs a new mat too? 

The pattern has just been released, so if you'd like to 

make your own, head HERE

Happy sewing!
