Me Sewing

Nearly as good as 'me' time. Both these are Ottobre patterns, the first is from the current magazine 02/2009, the pattern is #5, the Waterfall top. Love this, the fabric is from Lincraft and is a really soft knit which drapes beautifully.

The next top is made using the Creative Workshop #303 pattern. I didn't have enough of the cherry fabric for binding the neck, so used a contrast and added the reverse applique as well. Nice to have a new helper in the sewing room too. The dress form is a new addition to my ever expanding sewing accessories.


Here's what we did with the box.

Who needs toys when you have...

Giant bubble wrap.  We jumped, ran, crawled, walked and rolled over this working out which way popped the most bubbles.  A fun activity to do with the cold weather.

I'm addicted to....

Wrap style tops it appears.  These are recently made tops for Erin.  First up Farbenmix Antonia using the separate wrap option.
