Well I must go there - toot sweet! Some days my notions look a bit like that too! Places like this make my eyes cross! Oh this place is amazing, it looks messier than it did when I visited in 2010! Good sheet metal post. Thanku share this p…
How gorgeous!!! Your very own couture jacket. So jealous that you are going to Frocktails. I would love to get together with other sewers. Looks fabulous, I'm a bit daunted by the prospect of this course! Can't wait to see what you come up
I'm so pleased you got to go to this class. I like your fabric choice too. So glad to hear you're close to completion! I'm still quite a way away from being able to say that.... Looking forward to seeing your finished jacket! As much as I l…
I've made that vogue pattern and love it. I've been meaning to make it again. Like you, colour blocked and stripes are on my list! Lovely dress, I quite like the gathers at the sleeves. That turned out well. I bet it looks great on, too! Ve…
I've been following Alison Smith's two courses on Craftsy.com. She is a brilliant teacher. Your jacket looks amazing and all that work means your jacket will last for years. You won't regret putting all that work into the jacket. You got me…

Very pretty outfit, good luck with your buttonholes. Bound buttonholes are so lovely! I hope you finish the skirt. Can you challenge yourself to do one a night until it is finished? That sounds less daunting than tackling all 7 at once. 12
