Last week was hectic with one thing and another and I have no pictures to show you of what went on but I do have a picture of the Marilla Walker Nautilus top in a viscose from Pound Fabrics.

Embroidery is noisy. A quick clip of what's on the machine this morning as I forgot to take photos of last week's makes and orders.

This week may have been the week of the cutest make ever. A tiny hoodie for a little brother whose sister is showing her cows at the Hadleigh Show next weekend.

Some prom suit alterations over the last week. Shortened sleeves, had to reduce the number of buttons remove button hole stitching and resew remaining buttons, still left a vent, mitered hand sewn cuffs, sleeve lining opened to sew the lining and outer together seamlessly. Waistcoat taken in on both sides, closed with invisible seam after finding it had been glued together.
Who knew they use glue? Was a surprise for me.
Next week I have some new embroidery to complete for a local client.

It's a long weekend for Easter so some home sewing is in order. 1st item of the weekend. The Driftwood Dolman by Waves and Wild in a length somewhere between full and cropped in a viral fabric. I purchased mine from Knighton Fabrics Community
I never saw myself as an animal print person but apparently under some circumstances.

Some more alterations and scout shirts last week. But I also made up some cushion covers from a loved fabric and a little tote. All ready to post off to their new homes.
It's Easter holidays here so things might be a little slower for a few days.
