Look what I just made!

Well ahoy there me hearty crew!
I come to you beaming with pride and excitement as I have just finished making my first skirt! Wooh!
Thanks to Tilly Walnes’ (of Tilly and The Buttons blog) book ‘Love At First Stitch’ I am now working my way through the patterns and this is the second make- the Delphine skirt! I LOVE it so much! (I also made the wire hair band I’m wearing in the smug pic!)
I also had my first visit to the fabric mecca – Goldhawk Road last weekend where I picked up this amazing indigo corduroy fabric from Toni’s (super lovely people and not at all intimidating which was a huge relief!) it was lovely to work with even though I did break my first sewing machine needle doing the zip with all that bulk!
The first of the patterns I have also made from Tilly’s book are these ‘Margot’ pajamas:

Which are right now on the legs of my favourite person in the world, Stephen, so that makes me even happier- to sew for other people!

I really have caught the sewing bug and I’m going to bed as early as possible so I can wake up early and carry on… the next pattern in the book is – the Megan Dress! I bought a great bird and bows pattern for this also at Toni’s in Goldhawk road!

Sewists- what are you making at the moment or planning for your next make?!

Love and high fives all round!

PS. I have had lots of people asking ‘how do you find the time?’ and my answer is – ‘you will always find time to do things you love that make you feel good’ for me, my body has kicked into action waking me up, alert, at 7am every morning so I can get in a few hours in the sewing room before I’m meant to start the day! Well done body- keep it up! 😉 How do you make time to do the things you love that aren’t your job?!

PPS. I’ve been revamping my blog with proper photoshopped text images, new pages and everything- you like?!
