Question then. So I want to make another Nikko top but I want to make the shoulder a tiny bit wider so I don’t get this happening so much. This yellow one is fine cos the white isn’t much of a contrast, but next one will be burnt orange. So what’s the easiest way to widen the shoulder? Do I just literally widen both pattern pieces a bit, so that they meet up ok. Wouldn’t want to make the shoulder look strange. Anything to be aware of? Thanks in advance 😊🙏🏼
Finally hemmed that giant curtain I made a year ago! 😂😂😂 Whoop whoop!
Also, what an amazing goodie bag. A Fifi pattern from @tillybuttons a metre of really pretty drapey jersey and a badge from @girlcharleeuk a tote bag and a patch from @likesewamazing - now I have two of those! 😊 Stickers from @pinkcoatclub and discount codes galore. Thank you all. I wouldn’t normally choose a floral, but ya know what... I could roll with this one 💃🏻
Love Sarah @likesewamazing so much and was so proud of seeing her in her element last night. Organising such a fun day for everyone with @gingerellaj @sodburysewing and @shesewsvintage and then joining her cheeky partner @alextaylormusic for some singing later on. 😍#yesImcrouchingdown #shesdiddy #practicallyonmyknees 😂 Also had such fun with Kealy @voiceofacreative Joy @pinkcoatclub and the lovely Charlotte @englishgirlathome aswell as so many others. Having too much fun to take many pictures and it was sometimes a bit dark anyway. I very much hope that Bristol treated its visitors as nicely as it treats me. What a fun day. #sewcialitesoiree18 #sewcialitesoiree
@geetpetite22 @sewagnes thank you so much for coming all this way for Bristol’s lil soirée. Hopefully it’s the first of many. @likesewamazing @gingerellaj @sodburysewing @shesewsvintage thank you so so much for organising this day. It’s been wonderful - eating, meeting, throwing some shapes. I’m in that lovely tired-for-a-good-reason state right now, in my taxi home. Night night. It was lovely meeting so many of you tonight. Sorry if I didn’t get much time with some of you - too flighty tonight hehe xxx #sewcialitesoiree18 #sewcialitesoiree #morepicstomorrow
I’m wearing the @colettepatterns #myrnadress tonight and I utterly love it 😍🥰
