Simplicity 8875 - Navy viscose
Posted on
I received some beautiful viscose challis fabric from Minerva in navy with sand-coloured flowers. As usual with viscose fabric it has a lovely drape & movement without being too thin and is perfect for the summer. It is non stretch & smooth to the touch with a matte finish. I like fabrics with small flowers that don’t have an obvious pattern direction and, for me personally, feel they can be worn more casually with pumps and a denim jacket but also dressed up should the occasion arise.

Art Gallery Jersey Paparounes Crimson Tee Shirt
Posted on
Last year, I treated myself to a metre of gorgeous Art Gallery jersey fabric from Minerva and made it up into a simple boat neck tee shirt towards the end of the summer. I ended up putting it away and forgetting about it so it was a nice surprise when I came across it in my drawer.

My Brand New Janome Overlocker 6234XL
Posted on
My new toy :-)
Anyone who’s read any of my previous posts will see that I don’t use an overlocker for stretch fabrics, nor for finishing other items. Instead, I use a zigzag stitch and edging foot which works fine, but does take a bit longer, as does using a stretch stitch where it’s required.
