My granddaughter, who is visiting for the summer is enamored with the lime green floral print and I have promised to make her some shorts and a top.....its a long time since I have done any dressmaking, so I will have to resharpen my skills.
Isn't that Australian novelty print a hoot?
Every one knows a have a soft spot for shirting, so Linda sent some along with a lovely floral print that has 1930s 40s written all over it,
Linda's blog is just the sort I like, she writes about her farm life and her needlework, and is the only person I 'know' who has done shadow work...I am impressed
I love blogs that give me a sense of time and place.
How nice! I love the surf boarder! ;)

Love the Koalas... I had a stuff toy Koala when I was a little girl. Brings back memories. Thank you so much for the lovely comments on my blog! Have a wonderful summer.
ReplyDeleteyou are very brave attempting dressmaking!!
ReplyDeleteHi Jan, very slack with blogging this month, trying to get my head around an online embroidery course. I am so pleased the parcel 'hit the spot'. Thank you for your lovely comments, and a big one too for the most gorgeous return thanks in the post yesterday. It will be a delight to have/use, and I am extremely humbled by something we both value. You are a gem.
