I love it!!
I love it, I really, really love it!!! This was my first time sewing polar fleece. I must admit, I was a little scared (big wuss I am!) but it was so easy to work with. Not too easy to unpick when you make a mistake though LOL.. I used a pattern that I found at an op shop the other day for 50c! When I got home I opened the pattern to find that the previous 'owner' had enlarged and traced off patterns in the next 4 or so sizes (pattern went from 4-7) so I definitely got a bargain there! I even put pockets on it!

Love this top!!
This is a new outfit I made using a vintage pattern. I love the style of this top. It was difficult because there were a few terms that I didn't understand but I persevered and I'm glad I did because it is quite sweet. Lots of 'firsts' in this top for me. I've never done a collar, or thread & loop, and I had never done the type of pleats that are used on this..
Close up of the pleats..
I'm going to list them it in my shop. I really want to make another one. This time in Emily's colour and perhaps a bit smaller because it is just a little bit too big.

I'm back!
Did ya miss me?? I haven't posted in here in AGES!!
The move went well.. No missing boxes and nothing was broken. Kids have all settled into school well. Mum and Dad have been up here for a little holiday and gone back again (I miss them!! I hope they can move up here soon!)
I have been trying to get back into my sewing but the weather has just been far too hot for me to even think about sewing, most days I was hard pressed trying to think what my name is LOL!! Thankfully it has cooled down a bit now.. I polished off the machines and made this outfit. I am trying to build up some stock for my shop. I have another one almost finished. I'll put that up as soon as it's done..
TOP AND PANTS
This is a lovely light cotton with a feint butterfly print in it. It's so light and cool!. The outfit was fun to make. I enjoy making things I have never tried before. This one was difficult to get thread to match.. Luckily I found some in the end.
So, that is it from me for now.. short and sweet (describes me perfectly!)..
