I wish all my blog readers, friends and family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

It is very unusual

that I get new fabrics is so short before Christmas, but when I saw these beauties I just had to order them: the lovely Jinny-Jou cotton range by the German designer Jolijou:

Different designs in yellow, orange and blue, all combinable, are suitable for all sorts of sewing projects from quilts and cushions to table runners and even kids clothes. A touch of spring in the mid of winter!

Done!

The last of the Christmas custom orders got collected today. Two long sleeved shirts in lizard and striped jerseys for two little boys:

And now I can continue working on my own daughters Christmas outfit!

Where has the time gone? I noticed this morning that my last post was from the 11th of November! But I suppose I'm not the only one who feels that especially in the run up to Christmas time just seems to fly. And no matter how good the intentions are not to have a too busy and stressful advent time, it never goes to plan. There are school events, pantomimes, dance shows, oh the list goes on and on and it is no rare occasion that some events fall on the same day and a decision has to be made which one to attend. I'm really looking forward to the time after Christmas when everything calms down again, hopefully!
Enough of moaning now, I have been busy sewing over the past weeks and here is another skirt I just finished. The lady ordered an Insa skirt in pink not long ago and was so pleased with it that she asked me to make another one in red as a Christmas present.
