Rounding off a super busy fun packed weekend by finishing up this little @simplysewingmag #drapetop - this is now my third, though I feel like I have more. (A red one is going to be next.) . I made it from a lovely drapey jersey from @thefrugalfabricshop I made most of it at the #sewga session yesterday at @likesewamazing and just finishing up the hem now. . I thought I would get both done in the couple of hours I had yesterday. But I took my time as always. The only thing to this top is binding the neck and arm holes. I take real joy in the fact that with a standard machine you can make some really neat little results. No frills sewing can give you a really lovely professional looking work top like this in no time.

Made a stunning fascinator hat with @ablemabeldesigns today, at @likesewamazing and the enjoyed some sewing and yoga in the afternoon. Blissful day 🥰🥰🥰

Packing a bag of goodies for tomorrow. Fabric for a hat making workshop, then more fabric to make some tops and then there’ll be yoga. All happening at Sarah’s shop @likesewamazing Did some cutting out this afternoon for the first time in ages and I feel like myself all over again. 😊😊

Happy post day. So so pretty. Thanks Kathy @sew_dainty xxx

That’s some big patterning. Yay though 😁 portobellos all stuck together. Might do a quick lil toile of the top half of the trews, just to test the crotch length. They’re fairly loose fitting but nobody wants to accidentally make a hungry bum do they?! Can you tell I’m missing Sewing Bee already. 😆 #memademay2019 In other news, anyone else watching the rubbish Rambo film tonight? Never watched it when I was younger... it’s so dated now!

So the outfit that I’m going to get started on this lovely long weekend (hurrah for bank holibobs!!) is going to be inspired by this sassy, stylish individual lady. I’m thinking @ninaleelondon #portobellotrousers and @sewoveritlondon #soipussybowblouse The red and mustard fabric from @guthrieghani further down my grid is now washed and ready. 😁😁😁 Oh yeah, I’m probably going to be printing A4s and gluing them together for the patterns though 😩 seem to be having all the issues getting online printing websites to work for me lately. But never mind, all is well. Let the sewjo recovery plan commence forthwith! #memademay2019 #katherinehepburn
