The weekend was great, and I got lots done! :)
I sewed up:
One dress toile (Vogue 7995), which is for a customer, but I thought my friend would also look good in it, and so she tried it on. Result: it fitted like I'd made it for her not the customer, and she wants one for a wedding she's going to in August... Now to fit it to the original customer!
One skirt toile (Vogue 2898) for another customer.
One top toile (McCall's 2818) for the skirt customer.
Half a top toile (second version of above for different customer), but the back didn't fit the side back, so I;ll have to re-cut it. Something a bit off in the pattern alteration...
One Fabric Bowl made with two fat quarters and some Timtex.
We bought:
3.5m pale turquoise Irish linen for my friend's dress. Though not a normal habit of mine, I *will* wash this and dry it on HOT to make sure it doesn't shrink later. Linen can be a little odd like that. This was from Preston Market.Some serger thread to match. This fabric FRAYS!
A zip likewise...
The end of the bolt of white linen just to add to my stash! :)
I had a great day. DH and friends had a lovely walk, in pouring rain and mist! Oddly, though it was HIS weekend away really, I think I got the better deal!
