Sorry it's been quiet here....

But I have a lot going on right now personally, and I don't seem to have been able to find the spare time or energy to get on here and post.
But today, I decided if I don't start updating it now, I never will...so here goes. 
Firstly, you'll see the new look...I decided it was time for a change, and I wanted something fresh and different - hope you like it! 

These are a few things I've made lately(yes, I've still managed to make time to sew - if I didn't, I'd go bonkers!).

Firsty - here's a (little bit) better picture of the bunting I made.
here's another Imke for Jamie - this one made from linen with a button fastening yoke.
a couple of camera strap covers - one for a friend, and one for me!

a Farbenmix Insa skirt...
and a pair of Farbenmix Dortje pants changed up a little for a boy (it's a girl pattern!)
Jamie seems to like them...lol!
and finally...a first attempt project - I followed this sandpaper crayon transfer tutorial here...it's fantastic.
Now I know it works, next time I'll make it a little neater ha ha!

Jamie's nickname is Monkeybum, so he's my little surfin' Monkeybum - bet you won't find another tshirt with that one anywhere lol! 
 Phew - that was quite a lot of stuff - thanks for looking!

Wrap Skirt for ME!!

Yes, I finally got round to sewing something new for me - a wrap skirt.
Plus, it was my first ever time using a 'proper' pattern!
I added the contrast waistband, trim, and buttons...they weren't on the pattern, but I thought they'd look cool, so I went for it.
The contrast fabric is the Amy Butler Soul Blossoms 'Disco Flower' that I bought last week.



at some point I might even get a photo of me wearing it.....lol!

Thanks for looking

I'm so happy with it - it's totally not something I would usually wear, but I love it - I can see me making a few more in different colours!


and here's a close up so you can see the fabric...



thanks for looking!

Catch Up Time (Again!)

  Wow!   So much to catch up on... Not sure why, but my blog has been on my mind lately and so I popped over - I can't believe it's ...
