A Bit Slack....

I have been rather slack with blogging of late, well with just about everything actually - I am trying to sort through loads of stuff, largest of which is my fabric stash. We are moving in the not too distant future & I think I am getting a little stressed!

I have however just had the most wonderful night away in Launceston with a girlfriend without our husbands or children & apart from the drive it was FANTASTIC!!! Launceston is a really beautiful city if ever you get the chance to visit - the parks, old churches & gorgeous old homes & so much more....

Sewing wise I have finished a few things of late. I made a couple of Portabello Pixie dresses from the "Claire" pattern (great name don't youthink?).

The first one is very spotty & was my first attempt - hence the clash of the spots (just used whatever was in the stash to try the pattern & size). But Em loves it as it is pink!

The second is made from recycled vintage linen... I think I will add the waist tie to this one & then may pop it in my Etsy store - hopefully in the not too distant future.

This last pic is another Market Bag I made up, however I was trying to shortcut the seam at the top & it turned out a bit on the uneven side so I have claimed this one. (I apologise for my poor photography & lack of ironing skills - I see so many blogs with the most gorgeous photos - I think I need to take a course) It is made from seersucker & vintage tablecloth. They are a really fantastic sized bag - I think I certainly will be raiding a little more of my vintage stash to make some more of these up.
