My usual creative space is still overflowing with partly unpacked items from last weekend at Sewjourn. There are piles of fabric waiting to be put away…
…because I took about two months worth of fabric and patterns with me rather than just enough for two days! I’ve been going through my copies of Ottobre and some old copies of Burda WOF and dreaming of what else I could make.
I particularly like this jacket from Burda – the collar is gathered, which gives it that little bit of extra style (in my opinion)! It’s from 2008, but I was never a trend-setter.
I do like the way that Burda and Ottobre have a two-page spread with line drawings of the patterns that are in that issue. I originally bought this copy to make the coat that is in the centre (above the word “waistcoats”). That hasn’t eventuated, but never say never!
I had a little visit to The Fabric Store today for some wool jersey at 30% off. After Sewjourning I’m extremely keen to sew more for myself. What are you dreaming about making? For more creative spaces visit Kirsty - it’s great to see what everyone is up to!
So relieved you still have piles everywhere Lara – You’ve inspired me to down load my pics and post. I’m still with suit case, and skirts hanging, quilts on the floor, bits of fabric —– a HUGE mess. But, boy it was fun.
Lara, that’s my favourite edition of BWOF (its all so very pretty) and I love that jacket with the gathered collar. I hope you make it!
My poor sewing machine still has it’s cover on. Can you believe it’s a week since we went. Can’t wait to see what you make next .. I’ve been shopping at the Bendigo Woollen mills …
Oooh I haven’t ventured to the Fabric Store yet – but would love to see what you make with your purchase.
And that jacket – go on make it up so we can all see it!
Lara that coat with the gathered collar is lovely, I’d love to see you make that!
