Summer of Stitching



I hate changing rooms, and am not so big on huge crowds so it seemed like a good plan to try and make my piddly student budget stretch a bit further and start making some clothes myself. I started simple as you can see! but really pleased with the stuff I've made. Nothing beats someone asking you where you got something and being able to tell them you made it!









I'm also much more at home behind the camera so decided to let the garden take care of the modelling. Hope you like them!

The first two and last are adapted from the lovely pattern which you can buy from Jen here (I also made the dress version in black cotton). Then the one in the third is from a pattern I drafted from another top.

Next I'm dreaming up Corduroy pinafores and lots of plaids, in Navy, Mustard and Burgundy. Am I the only one who is ready for Autumn?

Made myself a new duvet cover from two cheap flat white sheets (white covers are apparently like gold dust?) so I had to stitch one myself. Dip dyed it in the bath and now it looks like the sky, hurrah!
