I've been desperately wanting to get my sewing machine out get making, but just couldn't find the right combination of fabrics and pattern. It needed to be a quick easy sew with some fun fabric.
On Saturday I had a little nudge to a fabric shop in Brixham, Brixham Sewing Box, I have popped in here in the past when I have been in the area so was pleased to find their online shop. Sandy the owner is a lovely friendly lady. The fabric I have bought is
How gorgeous are those turtles
and then this one
Beautiful little seahorse's
Can you tell I am missing the coast?
Pattern wise I bought this
Trapeeze Dress from Merchant & Mills
photo from their pattern page..
I am really pleased to see that they are now extending their size range for bigger women. I have loved this dress for ages. The only downsize is that it is only available in a PDF so have had to print it and now have to stick all the pages together. The cottons will be for summer but I have some lovely heavier fabrics in my stash so could make a few for the winter to wear with t-shirts underneath. It comes with a pattern instruction booklet as well which is easy to follow.
I don't know about you, but I am finding it really difficult to focus on projects which need a lot of thought. Were going into week 4 of lockdown, and despite still working full time ( at home ) I am struggling with being at home all the time. Don't get me wrong, I am well and my family are well, we are all here together, but boy do I miss my freedom..
So until we can start to spread our wings again I will be trying to find easy projects to keep me busy.
