It was Pinafore day today - and the three ladies had lovely and very productive day. Please excuse the funny angle of the photos, I can assure you all dresses were symmetrical :-)

Debbie made a lovely, summery pinafore in cute cotton print

 Sally promised her 3yr old daughter to bring a dress home - and she did a perfect job

And Barbara added an extra frill to her autumnal pinafore in fine baby cord.

Another LORE top in cool stars jersey, surely summer is coming at some point....?

Trousers workshop

From cutting out the fabrics, inserting a zip to finishing the hems: the ladies who came to my workshop on Monday thoroughly enjoyed making two lovely pairs of girly trousers:

As promised, here's the girl's version of the HENRI trousers in lightweight cotton poplin, 3/4 length:

Summer dress

Today is the first really nice day here in Dundee, blue sky, a light wind and about 14C. Oh, we're all longing for a bit of sunshine and warmth after this winter that seems to have gone on forever.
And as we're needing quite a lot of summer clothes for our holiday this year I have started making some dresses and tops for Leoni:

Pattern LORE from Farbenmix, lengthened as a dress

LORE in it's original version

Sewing workshop

The two ladies who came to me this morning had never sewn with jersey before. After experimenting with some remnant fabrics  - and a nice cup of tea :) - they both went home with a lovely loop scarf!

Henri

That's the name of the Farbenmix pattern I have new in stock: it is a basic trouser pattern that can be made for boys or girls. I'm using it one for the sewing workshops and thought it might be a good idea to try it our before letting my students have a go. This is the boys version, made from red denim with adjustable waist, a proper fly and zip. Girls version will follow.
