July Part 4

 Isobel's carrying on with her lovely Bothy seasonal house, and you can really see the change from last time, I'm so impressed by her progress.

Secondly, and continuing in Anne putting me to shame last week, here's where my twiddle muff is up to. I'm absolutely set that I have to actually get this finished now, it's becoming ridiculous, especially as I've just learnt how to do corner to corner, so I'm tempted to do a second one like that!

 It's all about Anne and her lovely creations this week. We realised last time, when I was working on my skirt, that the room we hire is actually perfect for cutting out patterns, so this week Anne brought al her cutting out with her. I think she managed to cut out five tops in two hours, and (due to me sneakily taking a picture), so can also see what the finished product will look like because she made the top that she's wearing as well!

Secondly, she's completely put me to shame by finishing her twiddle muff (I'm so ashamed that I still haven't). It looks fab and it's so tactile, Putting mine to shame in every way.

July Part 2

I'm trying to learn dress making, and it turns out that it's incredibly difficult (there's a chance I'm the only person in the world who hadn't already figured this out) and I'm incredibly bad at this. Thankfully for me Susie is very good and she's helping to explain the bits that confuse me.
You lose the sense of scale here. I had to stand on a chair to get this shot. the waist band was so wide we figured out that we could get me and Susie in it, and it's trailing on the floor, and I'm short but I'm not that short.
I have since put the elastic in the waist band so it's now only one person sized, and I'm in the process of taking it up.

July Part 1

I swear none of us bring the same project two weeks in a row.

Susie is preparing to make a rag rug, so at the moment she's cutting many randomly strips of fabric to do this with.
