Back sewing

This is the reason why I haven't been sewing for over a year! Georgia was born on Christmas Day 2010. She is an absolute joy to have and a very placid, easy baby.

I have almost got back to the size I was B.G. and I am itching to get sewing again. I love a SWAP (Sewing With a Plan) and I have been inspired to join the Artisan Square 6 piece Autumn Wardrobe sew along. The idea is that you sew 2 garments a month in August, September and October, all of which coordinate to form a mix and match wardrobe. Georgia goes to bed at around 6.30pm so I am hoping that this should be completely do-able. I am returning to work in September so I am planning a "career wardrobe". I have chosen 5 fabrics so far:


The two on the left are for skirts, the white is an Italian shirting, the black is a spotted chiffon for a tie neck blouse and the blue is a stretch wool mix for a tailored jacket. I still need one more fabric for another top but I will decide on that later.

Now I need to venture up into the loft for my patterns.....

  11. Beautiful baby! I don't know if there will be new posts to this blog but if so, would you consider adding the gadget to allow subscription via email? Being disabled, I don't get to spend a lot of time online so it is much easier when new posts come right to my inbox. I love the fabric you used for your jacket in the post below the first post and the lining is superb. Gorgeous.

  13. I just tried commenting on your other blog (the white top with pintucks) and found commenting was restricted to blogger users. Can't see an email address or contact from anywhere so I'm leaving this here "This is absolutely beautiful. I didn't notice that pattern at all till I saw your version-the pintucks on the white background are perfect. Keep rockin'"

  14. That is a very wonderful reason to fall behind on all your work. A baby is so much work. She is super cute and worth every bit of behind work.

    with the one you love and desire or why cant the
    one you love reciprocate and appreciate that
    love? Why would the doctor tell you there is no
    solution or cure to your problems? Why would
    your lawyer say you stand no chance, that your
    case is hopeless? Have you been cheated by
    anyone or those owing you money refuse to pay
    back? Do you need a rapid job promotion in
    your place of work? You want to venture into

    advantage of the powerful nature of our items
    for the purpose of evil, I will not have any
    business with you please be advised. May
    angels guide you. All inquiries should be
