Spring Sewing Swap
I was so excited to participate in the Spring Sewing Swap this year organised by the lovely Kerry from Kestrel Makes. It's one of the things I really loved when I first got into the world of sewing blogs.
I was paired up with Emma Jayne from Clipped Curves. if you don't already follow her blog, you should as she makes excellently fitted garments (check her sailor trousers!) with a nautical flair. Basically I want to be her when I grow up!
She also lives quite close to me so we are hoping for a meet up for coffee and sewing chat some time soon!
Here's the lovely bundle she sent me:
Navy twill
a lightweight bird print cotton
navy twill tape
cute stripy buttons
plus this excellent vintage A-line skirt/ culottes pattern (with pockets! I love pockets!)
Hop over to Emma Jayne's blog to see what was in the parcel I sent her (being much more organised than me, she has already blogged about it here!).
Thanks for organising Kerry - roll on next year!

ReplyDeletethanks helen! i was very lucky!
DeleteBeautiful fabric, looking forward to seeing those. Jo x
ReplyDeletethanks jo!
DeleteI love the bird print, what a gorgeous colour. I also like the culottes - I surprised myself by liking a similar pattern on eBay recently. I'd thought that wearing them in the 90s would have put me off but obviously not :)
ReplyDeletei'd love to see you make some culottes kerry! go for it!
