It's so exciting getting a parcel from Seamstar I knew what I had ordered, obviously, but I love the way it's wrapped in pink tissue with a turquoise ribbon in a bow. The fabric is Lotta Jansdotter cotton. I'm going to make this skirt . The pattern book is 'Island' by Jane Richmond, at the moment I'm undecided about whether the skirt needs a scarf to go with it,
or this lovely little cardigan. I may make both. What do you think? I did have plans to do lots of dressmaking after Easter, but events have conspired against me so again, plans on hold! Will I ever be able to retire and just knit and sew?
Cardigan, skirt and scarf. Go on!
ReplyDeleteI haven't used any Lotta Jansdotter fabric yet - but I just love her stuff... I'll have to work it into a spring/summer outfit :)
I'm going to have a Grace knit along - do join us!! I think there's about six of us so far - swatch now, cast on 1 March. I have to knit like the wind and get mine done in March but no one else has too. There's a little chat starting in Jane Richmond's group on Ravelry. Come over :)
I'll definitely join in with the Grace knit along. And check out the group on ravelry. Like I need an excuse to buy more yarn.
DeleteGlad I'm not the only one with a weakness for tissue wrapped haberdashery! My latest post was about a similar excitement :-) Lovely to find your blog via my friend connect thingummy.
