I have had a couple of metres of this bright and colourful #cotton #fabric with a #coastal #design for a while, and wondered what to do with it, so I decided to twin it with #red and #white gingham and am currently in the middle of making a small #backpack. I’ll post another photo when complete #photooftheday #365 #207

Another #revamp #upcycle project, to a full length high waisted, brown needlecord pinafore #dress from a charity shop. The bust was to tight and needed letting out about 3 inches. Adding the striped front panel allowed me to cover the 10in cut I made straight down the centre of the yoke to increase the width. I had to shape the front panel with darts to keep the shape of the high waist. I added the #embroidery not only for decoration but to help flatten and pull in the #Fabric #Dressmaking #Sew

I have been drawn to work on a #revamp #upcycle of several items of #clothing that I could not bring myself to get rid of. This is a #vintage French wool sports shirt, that I retrieved from a friends rag bag in Brittany. One arm had been chopped off below the elbow, moth holes and worn collar. But I loved the #Fabric and the long length of the body. I picked some scraps of printed Liberty #wool fabric from a charity shop to patch it. The remaining lower sleeve made the pockets. #embroidery

Making samples of Christmas crafts this evening, in preparation for a weekend away to celebrate the birthday of a crafting friend. We’re going to have a cocktail and craft night. No potential for disaster there, surely! #cocktailandcraft #christmascraft #crafting #weekend #fabric #ikeahack

After some procrastination over what to do about representing the very hot Summer, I’ve made the decision to retain my original colour key and highlight those extremes with the #quilting , rather than the piecing. Now catching up. Here are the #fabric pieces for max and min temps for each day in July for my #temperaturequilt
