Love this colour

Bordeaux/black knit jersey from Lillestoff and pattern 'Drape Front', Ottobre design issue 5/2016 with outside seams and rolled hems.

A new dress for me

Perfect for autumn, made from double knit jersey 'Kenny' and Ottobre pattern 'Twig'. Very comfortable!

A new chapter

Very excited and nervous this morning, Leoni's first day at High School  :-)

The end of primary school

Where has the time gone? Leoni had her P7 leaver's prom tonight and she was very happy for me to make her dress (which doesn't happen very often nowadays) and I must say I really enjoyed sewing it. Still can't believe she'll be heading to High School in August...part of me is incredibly proud of her and what she has achieved so far, the other part would like her to stay little for a while longer. My husband dug this picture out from when she was about 1year old, so there's 11yrs between those two photos:

Birthday

Leoni turned 12 on Friday and had a few friends joining her at Battlefield followed by some party games in the house. They all are growing up too fast if you ask me....
