Garment Sewing for Me

I've worked out that the last garments I made for myself would be maternity wear when expecting Rachelle...  About 24 years ago. 

This is an experiment to see if it was still possible to knock something together using quite patchy central, and blurred peripheral vision.  It was slow waiting for things  to come into focus but overall I'm pleased with the results.  Fit is a bit neat so there's a choice of diet or make a bigger size.

Shopping is probably the quickest way to expand the wardrobe, but it was fun having a go again.

Just the hems to do now.

Whimsical Dog

Love the whimsical dog.  Design from Titania Creations. Turned my test stitch out into a cushion for the caravan.

All assembly done on the overlocker.  Haven't used it since we moved house 4 years ago and with all the dust and renovations wasn't sure that it would still work.  Gave it a good clean up, rethread and a drop or two of oil and it's fine.  Don't think a service would go amiss as it must be well over 15 years old and never had one.
