Wedding photos

It doesn't happen very often these day that we attend a wedding, but I suppose that's down to just getting older, haha, and not having many friends and family that are not married already. Anyway, yesterday was an exception and we spent a lovely day at Paul and Emma's wedding at Forbes of Kingennie. The setting was absolutely beautiful and even the weather was playing along. Here are some impressions:

 

Skirt workshop

That's what Debbie and Kathleen made during the workshop:

Two lovely corduroy skirts, well done ladies!

Ottobre tunics

and another Quintia coat, ready to take to the Flower and Food Festival with me in a couple of weeks.

Some new items

My next craft fair, the Dundee Flower and Food Festival, is only three weeks away so I've started to make some new clothes:

Quintia coat, age 3-4

Hooded boys jacket, age 3-4

We're back from our holiday in Germany and had a lovely time visiting family and friends and just chilling out. This time we took the ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam, the water was very quiet (much to my liking as I'm not overly keen on boats :-) and on the other side it took us another 4hrs drive to get to my mum. That way we were a bit more flexible over there when it came to doing daytrips. Especially on the return journey we appreciated  having a car instead of flying as there are no luggage restriction....and there's always a lot to take back from Germany :-)

Hooded Jacket

Just before we go on holiday I wanted to show you a hooded jacket I made a few weeks ago. For the outer jacket I used lightweight outdoor nylon and Noahs stars jersey for the lining. The pattern is from the OTTOBRE issue 1/2010.

Skirt no 2

Burda pattern 8344, this time a more straight cut than the New Look pattern. Fairly easy to follow instructions, darts front and back, zip and pockets if desired. A good pattern for a workshop, I think. Now I have to look at suitable dates for the classes, will keep you posted once done.
