I’ve been sewing from Vintage patterns lately. This modern Butterick shift dress pattern with a turned boatneck collar worked a treat in fabric purchased from Tessuti – a kinda 60s look (and early Elvis hair). And don’t I match the blue Gordon Andrews’ Rondo chair perfectly?
It’s hard to sew when Miss Trixie exercises her rights to sit on anything papery or vaguely mat-like!
Now that December has dawned, bringing with it the onset of Christmas Panic Syndrome, maybe it’s a good time to get one thing sorted. My sweet sister is offering some wonderful bonuses at Moombaki for mailing list customers, and as usual is helping someone else in the process – Oxfam Save Water/Save Lives project.
I suggest you take the initiative and Save Water/Drink Wine over Christmas! Moombaki is endorsed by the most venerated critics, including James Halliday, Ray Jordan and Trixie, as you can see.
Go get some now!
Our little cat Trixie has beautiful markings – and I was struck by how her colours are replicated in our feature stone fireplace. But I only had a split second to try and shoot it – she disdainfully stalked off.
No pictures please!
