Excess fabric...

We've all over ordered on fabric or quite simply had some left from a project. 

But what do you do with it? I use the medium bits for quilts and backings and appliqué, the really skimpy bits go to little knitwits nursery but sometimes there's bigger bits! 

And sometimes you can squeeze another garment out! 

 

The fabric is what was left of my navy stretch suiting from Minerva fabrics after is made my megan dress. 

And the skirt pattern is from the great British sewing bee sew your own wardrobe book (although I had to Frankenstein the front together) 

I went for a sailor vibe with two big white buttons as decoration .

And too stitched all my seams open, which left a really nice finish on the inside. 

The fits pretty good is slinky enough to be a pencil skirt but there's still room for cake. 

And it's got a cool split thing at the back (although I had to stitch mine shut a bit becuase it was indecent) 

And it goes with my first megan top! WINNER! 

And I got two garments from two metres!

WINNER!

Much love

Sleepy owl nearly finished!

Okay so this post is going to be a bit of a mash up! For starters we have this...

I finished the stitching on my owl embroidery, and I kind of like it? I think it needs a little bit of something so I'm going to start adding beads ASAP! 

I also had 50 sheets of tissue paper delivered so I can start tracing the Megan dress from love at first stitch! Now I just need to get my hands on the correct length of zip and I can make a start! 

We made cookies using a recipient from the disney sweets and treats magazine, but we substituted the nuts, raisins and more nuts, for chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate! 

Oddly enough they look just like the cookies my mum makes. 

And I parcelled up some deliveries! 

This pictured doesn't show on of my cushions that I sold on etsy last week. 

Nothing makes me happier than seeing piles of these tissue wrapped orders! 

Much love
