July Part 3

 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.

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.

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.

 Here we have by crochet twiddle muff, which despite the fact it really doesn't look like it, I swear is growing. but I may have spent more time chatting than crocheting this week.

Susie's making a bag, out of jeans and pretty lining fabric. Can't wait to see the progress.

Susie says that you can't tell the difference from the last time I took a picture but I swear you can, so I'm posting it anyway. 

And this is Isobel's lovely handbag, We're very impressed. There was a third acorn but apparently it was stolen by the cats

This week we have Isobel's lovely fairy, I keep forgetting what she's called, but she is lovely!

 Anne's so close to her finish now, I reckon next time we see her she should have a finish on her hands. You can tell how close she is by the fact that you can't even tell what's missing from my awful photography.

My Twiddle Muff continues, although I keep getting distracted by other projects, so I'm really not as far on as I should be, and I am really loving the Ice Yarns, they're great and such lovely colours
