I'm still here

It is now December 2019 and a full year since my last post. I seem to have dropped the blogging bundle somewhere along the way, but I have been sewing spasmodically during the last year.

My first garment in January 2019 was the Itch-to-stitch Nottingham top which was my prize for the Designing December challenge 2018.

 I used some purple knit for this top and had a little trouble getting the knot to sit properly but hey ho it's wearable.

Next up in March was Kwik Sew 2694 a cross-over top with short sleeves. I used a red poly-interlock for this top and haven't actually worn it yet but the hot weather has arrived so it will have an outing soon I'm sure.

 

I had some lovely grey ponte begging to be a dressy cardigan/jacket. A very very old pattern, Knitwit 7000 saw this come to fruition in May and I love it and have worn it heaps during the cooler months.

Since then I have done a few alterations and mended some things and recently joined a mini-quilt-a-long on Facebook which was a lot of fun. The finished quilt is only 14" square and foundation pieced on paper. It was quite fiddly at times but a good challenge for the brain.

Have also downloaded and sewn a couple of Barbie outfits which are delightfully fiddly and take very little fabric.

It's been a long while between posts but I haven't been completely idle and hope to have a few more items to display soon.

I enjoy reading other sewer's posts but I miss a lot of my favourites as I have never come to grips with Instagram and likely never will.

Merry Christmas from a very hot Western Australia and good wishes for the New Year.
