Although I haven’t posted much [because I’m waiting the weather, mood, non-wobbliness of hips to take photos of me actually wearing some of the stuff] I have been preparing blog posts and sewing steadily away.
So far I’ve made
2 black linen skirts
2 black shirts [posted]
2 black polo necks
2 white polo necks
1 ivory blouse with appliqué trim
Still need to make some black trousers [desperately needed] and the corset-waistcoat to tie the whole set together.
Meanwhile I’m itching to get cracking on my World Book Day Anne Lister outfit…
So a few teaser pics to keep you all going!

Hope you are feeling better soon. That sewing is stellar! Love the colour combo, and the applique! Trying to cut a wine pinstripped skirt next. Cathie near Mtl.
By trying, I mean avoid fitting issues at cutting stage (LOL).

Eep I’d forgotten about World Book Day 😦 My small person is into Roald Dahl so maybe I can get him to be Charlie Bucket.
Your embroidery looks fab!

OMG and I’d not clocked that it’s NEXT WEEK. Right, time for a quick pelisse [or greatcoat, still not decided!]

We have agreed on Charlie Bucket so I need to find some gold card this weekend, and I might make a FudgeMallow Delight chocolate bar too 🙂

I have funky gold holographic card but that’s no use to you in a hurry lol. Happy to send you some if you want to risk slight delay in the post though…

Aww thanks that’s really kind, but no need as I’ve promised him a trip to the art shop on Saturday 🙂
