Hullo, hullo, hullo! Apologies for the lack of posts, I've been extra-craftily busy this week!
I've finally finished my red, white & blue granny square blanket, but have no one to give it to! It's going in the present drawer until I find the perfect recipient...
I've also started a new project for the gorgeous Toast jumper I picked up on my last charity-shop trawl. If all goes to plan it should end up similar to this... I hope it turns out OK!
(OPB week 3 - pleats & waistbands)And most excitingly, I've caught up on the OPB Sew Along! Last week was pleats & waistbands, and this week, we put in our zip! Seeing as I'm more of a hands on student, I did need to mock up a few bits to work out the pleats would sit, and how the zip would go in, but I'm so pleased that it's nearly done...I'm itching to wear it!
(OPB week 4 - side seam & zip!)
Now I'm off to pack for a weekend away - it's my birthday on Monday so my boyfriend is taking me up to London for the weekend, where we'll mostly be here, here and HERE!!!! Squeeeee!
Have a great weekend everyone!

Your skirt looks awesome!! I still haven't gotten to mine this week, but I am hoping to get caught up this weekend!!
ReplyDeleteI love your plans for that Toast jumper. I'm off to London myself next week - to the V&A, Liberty and possibly Carluccio's. Hadn't heard of Macculloch and Wallis - I'll have to add that to the list for next time!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful granny square blanket! I love the color choices! Great job on your sewing projects too. Someday I would like to learn to sew clothes.
