Clothes Sewing

I had a completely crap sewing day yesterday. more unpicking than sewing and nothing great to show at the end of it. So today I sewed things I knew would end well. Another corduroy skirt this time with a panel of Ink and Spindle fabric off centre on the front.
A long sleeve version of Simplicity 3835. I love this fabric. I think I found it at Spotlight on sale in the quilting section, but it is not quilting fabric. More like a voile.
And now some giraffes need stuffing while I watch the girls do 'the bestest dance moves ever'. These should be the last of the softies for Stitches and Craft. Then I should probably start organising everything, clean up the craft room, maybe even clean some of the house.

  1. It's good I think to be so absorbed in what you love doing... I too forget to clean when I'm painting. :) Lovely clothes, nice fabric and designs!

  2. Love the skirt. I am also sewing for myself at the moment - just some a-line skirts. I had forgotten that I could actually sew things for me not only for small people. But I also had a crapola sewing day yesterday - I tried to sew with some stretch fabric and it looked like the dog vomitted up something...
