Dressmaking classes

Today I've got two pupils in the stitchshed learning to make dresses.   

We've had one session measuring and fitting the toile now it's onto the real thing.

Pictures later .........,,,,,

Linen Bag

I spent some time this week actually making something for myself: a new bag, make up bag and tissue holder !  It took most of the day but I am so pleased with the results.  What do you think ?


I added a strip of lace along the top of the make up bag just to give it a lift.   


The strapping is knitted but quite firm and sturdy.  

Well, I'd better get busy as I've got two more fat quarters in similar designs ready to make a couple of totes or handbags........
