Smock it

Managed to beat the other linen lovers to these 3 sheets today at the Op Shop, think they will make cute little summer smocks, no more winter sewing for me - I'm waiting it out - just going to focus on Spring/Summer .... really only another 2 more months of this weather left, I'm counting!

We are going to see Shrek 3 tomorrow, meeting my sister and her two little girls - Little P is very excited, she keeps telling people (strangers in the street, any one) 'we're going to see Shrek in the garden and the meadow' must be something in the ad that she's seen. She is pestering me for a Doctor's Coat - 'please Mum you make my Doctor's Coat now' - I said in passing that I'd make her one ages ago, and she had a mind like a steal trap - so I'm off to find some white cotton.

Op Shop Tuesday

My local little op shop just threw this curtain at me today, how could I say no? I've got plans, I'm dying to get hold of Amy Butler's 'Frenchy Bag', I've found the pattern over here there's some really nice fabric too, all very tempting.

Heaps of sewing to do today, Miss P really needs some warm dresses and skirts, can't get her in jeans at the mo, and it's freezing here in Sydney!

Another piece of fabric that I'm waiting for....it's a waffle weave - which I just love, like an Autumn version of seersucker!

Watch this space....
