The Make It In May Skirt Sew Along...

I'm a little bit behind in skirt features... so here's this weeks group of finishers.

Number one is Beccasauras with Simplicity 2226 made using a vintage curtain (note the lovely handmade bag too)!

Number two is Jody Pearl with a variation of the Splice Skirt in a plain denim. Plain skirts are the perfect wardrobe staple!

Number three and four are both by Dione from Sew Funky (number 4 isn't in the Flickr group sorry). Dione drafted a pattern based on a skirt that she already had in her wardrobe, and after a little adjusting - voila!

Number five for tonight is this Burda 3058 by Brenda from Mira Narnie. Check out the supercute pocket!  This skirt is really similar to the Lisette Market Skirt that is on my list.

Number six is a Nicole Mallalieu  You Sew Girl A-Line Skirt by Sheridan from Chaletgirl 

Thankyou all so much for joining in and sewing along!

Sew It's All Over

What a busy little weekend!

The Sew-It-Together conference is all done and dusted 'til next year. Although I couldn't make it to all the events, I headed along to Nikki's Soiree Friday night, and to the Saturday Crafting Session.

It was lovely to catch up with everyone - there were lots of new people to meet (far too many to list here), and lots of people to catch up with that I haven't seen in such a long time. My camera didn't manage to make it out of my handbag, but I'm sure there'll be lots and lots of photos all over blogland very soon.

I even came home with a gift that Trash had brought for me all the way from the UK....  this beautiful floral fabric in my fave colour combo, and gorgeous glass beads.
I was completely flabbergasted and blown away with suprise! Thanks Trash.

....and in the lucky dip, I chose this wonderful Mini Polly Pratt dress which I just couldn't resist.

A huge thankyou must go to Sheridan for all her hard work in organising such a wonderful event. Everything ran so smoothly that it made it an absolute joy to attend, and of course another huge thankyou has to go to all the event sponsors and hosts who opened their doors to a huge group of crafty girls for the weekend!

Today was the perfect day to have a sleep in, a minor tidy up, some food shopping.... an afternoon of machine sewing, and then some hand-stitching on the couch... bliss
