This and that

I just finished making a blouse from some of the material I bought at Liberty. The pattern is from the Craftsy class Sassy Librarian Blouse. I really enjoyed getting back to some dressmaking, and took proper care with this one, making french seams as well.




Of course, whether I'll get to wear it is yet another point. After a few days of lovely sunshine which got us all excited thinking that spring had arrived, we're now back to cold, wet and windy. Back to vests and jumpers and scarves and gloves. Not fun.


And just because I found it on the camera, a photograph of Ruby sitting on 'her' seat in the motorhome.

I love your blouse! Great choice on the fabric. It makes me want to do some garment sewing again. We've also had up and down weather. We had frost two nights ago and are promised 80 degrees today. And Ruby looks so content in her seat. What a cutie!
