It's a long time since I've put up a post but I have been sewing a bit. First up a pair of Indigo togs from Sinclair Patterns . This was a voucher that they gave for a gift bag for the Spoolettes Frocktails 2023. So made in Feb this year. I used remnants of dance lycra - bright green back, hot pink front and white straps and white lining. I loved them. I put a clip in the back that isn't part of the pattern - not hard to do I just snipped it and sewed each side of the clip on. The Indigo is a great pattern and I liked it because it has regular and full bust options. I really loved these togs. They fit well, were really comfortably and were bright and happy. I only got to wear them a few times. I left them on the hook on the back of the pool door and called them to say I'll get them the next few days (I'm a member and go every Sunday) and they told me they'd hold them at the desk. I went in and after a lot of back and forth and days of not knowing what happen
I promised this post in March! Fabrics from Euro1 per metre! I didn't buy anything in this shop but there was some lovely fabrics. I did buy the green and pink one above on the right. A satin finish rayon. It is lovely. There was a lot of lovely fabrics in this shop. It wasn't cheap Euro 8 p.m. but I didn't have a lot of room in my bag and I wanted something I would really love. I also didn't buy anything in Paris this time. I did buy the fabric for a table cloth just across the way from this shop. I also bought some orange/white weave linen fabric for Euro 4 p.m. at another shop, which I think I'll make some summer trousers with. As I was going to the airport, I saw this dress on the platform and I really liked it. Very easy to do too, I went to the Benaki Museum while in Athens. There is actually 2 locations. In this one I saw lots of Greek and Cypriot cultural crafts. This was a bridal bed in Crete. There was lots of clothing, embroidery and gold jewellery.
