I've been to Sewjourn and I'm inspired!


This is my new Nikki Mallalieu Skirt made from a woolley, polar fleece type fabric from Spotty, with a Corduroy panel in the front.  VERY very warm - a great Yard Duty Skirt and a nice splash of colour for a change.

I made this after coming home from Sewjourn where I was totally inspired by clever women, who are magnificent garment sewers.

This top below is a Renfrew Top that I made at the weekend.  I was thrilled with how this turned out.

I also had a go at the Toilet Bag pattern from Nikki's book. The arched one is how it is supposed to look, the other one is a classic example of not following the instructions.  I'm sure there could be a use for a long, slipper shaped bag however.   Hmmmm
 

Amongst the fabrics is my new camera strap made from scraps.  Thanks to the inspiration from Amanda Jean's new book Sunday Morning Quilts.
Here it is again on the model!
 

This was some more inspiration from Amanda Jean's book.  Love painting with fabrics and colour.
 

Thanks girls for a wonderful weekend.  More photos of our fun can be found over here.
