My first award!

 Camelia Crinoline has passed this award onto me!  I am thrilled - thanks Camelia!
I didn't expect to get any awards as I only had 19 followers up until my giveaway so it's a lovely surprise!

Now 5 questions:

1. What size shoes do you wear?  If you wear a 7 can I borrow your shoes?

Alas, I wear an 8! Which is a shame because then I could have borrowed yours too!!

2. 30's or 60's?

Oh I am a child of the 60's!  Born 1962 and I love the 60's fashion ... Yeah baby!

3. Have you ever kissed someone you shouldn't have?  

Of course! Who hasn't! Sometimes things just seem illicit when you are young but then you realise when you are older that it wasn't you and others should have had more responsibility! (oohhh a bit serious!)

4. Have you ever been poisoned?  

I wonder why this question comes after the kissing question??!!  Not to my knowledge but lets face it, if you kiss someone you shouldn't maybe some one did want to/try to!! he he didn't work.

5. Who is your "celebrity free pass" list?  

a) Nick Cave  Love his music and have been listening to it since he was a drugged out singer in Birthday Party! b) Jamie Oliver because I love how he shows people how to cook good food and how easy it is to eat well. And he cares. c) Ian Curtis from Joy Division just to tell him it's ok, hang in there and it will be better d) Richard Branson because I would like some of his insights into his irreverence (I guess I could read the book but I would rather talk about it!) and e) the three grandparents who died before (well before) I could meet them.

Now I would like to pass it onto:
Some of my favourite blogs!

I think we are twins on opposite sides of the country! Same year, same shoe size, same music taste and we started blogging at around the same time(your blogoversary post made me think about it and when I went and checked I started a year ago yesterday). Thanks for the award!

Trying a vintage togs pattern.

                       Hello, it's been a while again. Not as long as some bloggers who have recently returned to blogging...up to 7 years, but I'm glad people are coming back. I never joined Instagram as I'm not that fussed on 'social media' and more with people who write about their sewing.  So back to sewing. I picked up this vintage McCalls togs pattern. It's quite a good value pattern as there are three very different and interesting swimsuits included. That's pretty rare. It's a size 16. I decided to make view B. All of the patterns have pieces for the bra cups too which is really great. Photographed with it is a Burda beach wrap. I can't find the magazine number right now, but it's at least 10 years old. Basically it's a large square of fabric with arm holes cut out. The fabric is genuine 70s towelling. I know because Mum bought it to cover our 'fantastic plastic' vinyl couch. Vinyl was preferred back then...

Kwik Sew

So recently Spotlight had Kwik Sew patterns - 3 for the price of 1. I don't really need any patterns as I have plenty but some took my fancy and I'm keen to sew some up. I have been really liking the waterfall jackets... I have a Butterick pattern (not mentioned yet but brought over from the US with a friend... that's another post though), a New Look cut out and I liked the length of this Kwik Sew one too. I was seduced by Kristy's beautiful version  of the jacket on the right. Don't expect to see it fitting me so perfectly but it looks nice and easy and it's a bit different and a bit timeless too. I was thinking of sailor type pants but when I saw this shorts pattern, I thought I could make them up and see if they suit and I may be able to lengthen the legs and not have to trace out a Burda one. Not sure how KS patterns fit me as I've only made a dress a while ago now. I have these cut out from a leftover piece that was not enough for anyth...

Island night... PNG cruise

Well hello again. I've just come back from a cruise to Papua New Guinea and I made a dress for Island night. Island night or any theme night is just a suggestion... there is no organised event, meals, activities; just a dress code suggestion.  As soon as I read that, I searched for this vintage surfie fabric I bought years ago at an op shop. I was thrilled to use it. I needed an easy pattern that I could make 2 days before the cruise departure and one that I would wear again.  I used this Style 2911 pattern that I only bought online a few months ago. Style are my favourite patterns. I cut out a size 16 but had to reduce it to the 12. It's a great simple but elegant pattern and it went together perfectly. My machines liked it too... they cooperate when they like what I'm making and it was a breeze.  I cannot believe that we didn't get one photo of it on. I was thrilled with it and even tho there is some ink staining you can't really see it as it's so busy. I had ...
