Pig bun #goldengatecafe

Needed a proper bag to carry my knitting in that matched the outfit. Default solution= wicker basket + scrap of fabric. Every time! Off to #japanmatsuri. Bright sunny day in September.

New sharp scissors. Better open some Cava! I got these snips off AliExpress for a couple of £. #treatyoself

28th October, Hatch End, London. Upcoming Corset Workshop for the Otome Sewing Bee. Requested (demanded!) by our members. So I'll be dispelling the rumour that corsets are really scary and complicated to make. Can't wait! Such a lovely project. #sewing #otomesewingbee #dressmaking #corset #corsetry

I'll have a cream cheese mousse planet and test tube lemonade please.

Embroidery picnic in Hyde Park Rose Gardens.....tho it's fair to say we were so hot a lazy we didn't get much needlework done. Gorgeous people and lovely chatter.

Here's a really simple accessory to make....wicker basket cover. Rectangle either hemmed (thick fabric) or in this case backed with a lining (thin fabric). Lace trim utterly unnecessary but pretty....and if you've got the lace sitting in your stash, as I do, why the hell not?

....you know that precious chiffon blouse I just finished altering.....

Saturday sewing. Altering a chiffon blouse for #dreammasqueradecarnival. The second photo is a stock photo of the original design by #thefloralnotebook. 3rd and 4th pics are teeny hole patches hidden behind the lace. This pretty top wasn't getting much use. So I did away with the massive neck flounce and the long dramatic cuffs to make it into something easier to wear everyday. I made the new cuff elastic loose because I know I'll want to push my sleeves up to my elbows all the time. Habits. And obviously the button placket is now sewn down at the bust to stop any button gaping. Sneaky sewing tricks.
