Wellington Botanic Gardens

Its been a bit miserable this week - so reflecting on sunny photos from the Wellington Botanic Gardens seems like a rather sensible idea!

    Hi, thanks for stopping by my blog. That's a lovely bit of colour to brighten the day! It's sunny here but the garden is still very bare and I'm longing for some flowers. xx

Merino baby cardy

A quick make but it took me ages to finish!  I was gifted this merino fabric ages ago at a fabric hoarders fabric swap.  The binding is from a local Japanese shop on Cuba street . Cute, no?  I started it so long ago that I've managed to lose the free pattern I used to create it.  oophs!  I like the tie I've pulled together a loop from the binding for the front. I've french seamed the seams.  I really love the finish.  This was one of my first knit garments so its lovely to have it finally finished.  I didn't have a recipient in mind at the time - just wanted to use up the fabric and start thinking about knit fabrics but a friend recently had a baby girl so it'll go in the post soon!

Harping on about Harpers

Wendy  (of Sew Biased ) made a StyleArc Harper Jacket and I loved it.  It helped that I bought the same fabric at some point and couldn't think what to do with it! So I made the exact same jacket!  Lacking imagination, me?  Sorry Wendy! So comfy! I really like how the jacket closes.   There's a button hole on both sides. I managed to find a covered button that's really close in colour to the jacket. The whole thing was a quick make and the fabric didn't need to be hemmed.  Nicely work appropriate and also so comfy.  I didn't really follow the instructions as its fairly straight forward. I also made a second version very quickly with some wool fabric I felted by mistake.  I didn't quite have enough so I used a fabric-a-brac fabric (from desiree) for the back of the jacket.  Not much more to add about it!

Well hello there 2016

Gemma of sixty six stitches and Wendy of Sew Biased  formed a blogging pact to post at least one post a week until our respective backlog of makes have been blogged.  I've been creating a lot this year but not really blogging and in most cases, I've managed to photograph the makes.  Thankfully it was a day or two into the new year so I'm still on target! So starting of this year of reblogging is a self drafted pencil skirt. Of course, it comes with rather poor quality photos! Overlocked on the inside. And fully lined with an internal yoke and invisible zip. I have such a flat arse  seat that there's no back darts - but the fit is great and its a nice coloured addition to my work wardrobe.  (with guest cat appearance)
