Bavarian make

Here's my costume for a Bavarian themed party

Gabriola

Wanted the Gabriola pattern for a long long time so finally bought it. This is my fave skirt :)

 With the leftover fabric i made this top:

Butterick 5953

Just completed the Butterick 5953 pattern. Had this hanging around for months to make for a friend's wedding but just couldn't find the right fabric. So pleased with how it has all come together. Can't wait to wear it later this week!

This is the original pattern. I fell in love with it as soon as i saw it. It's a very classy Jackie-O look. Contemplated teaming it with some lace gloves but didn't want to go too far ;)

vintage style handbag

been very busy lately so got myself back into sewing by making a little vintage hand bag. Definitely making more of these!!!

Left over dress...

I have acres of fabric left over from my jacket so made a little dress...

I added some lace to the hem line to stop it from looking too office-y. Not sure whether to add more, don't want to over do it but want the dress to be casual looking enough to get some use out of it.

My first jacket!

This couldn't have turned out better. Love the fabric, but the lining is my favourite feature. Must line everything i make from now on...

I need to add some sort of clasp to the front to finish it off then it'll be ready for summer evenings...

My first trousers

Very pleased with my first attempt at making trousers!! The pattern was way too big for me so re-sizing it took up most of the time. The construction was very simple. 

The fabric is a very light and floaty viscose. They are going to be great for the summer, i intend on making a few more pairs...
