I think it was Winnie the Pooh that said to Piglet: "It's so much better with two."
I love crafting with friends, and a sewing day with my lovely friend Clever Alice is always good for the soul.
We chattered,
we laughed,
we nibbled on yummy Florentines,
we puzzled over confusing pattern instructions (hers),
we giggled over silly mistakes (mine),
we drank tea,
we set the world to right,
- oh, and we sewed : - )
 |
| spot the mistake ? Oops. . . |
And what did we make ?
A pair of denim shorts for her,
and another Kate for me.
Winnie the Pooh is right, don't you think ? It really is sew much better with two.
Have a happy Thursday,
'til next time,
xoxo
ps. I'm looking forward to joining in with the OWOP (One Week, One Pattern) Challenge over at Handmade Jane next week, and almost naturally, seeing as this is my 5th one, the Kate Dress is my pattern of choice . It'll be fun to see lots of different patterns individually & creatively styled for each day.
What a happy post! Made my day!
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely dress, Gilly. And the pink top stitching on Alice's shorts is fab! Well done both of you. :o)
ReplyDeleteBTW - does Alice have a blog?
What a lovely idea Gilly. I have just arranged a sewing day with my friend Christine. I also have the Kate pattern, all I need is fabric now. Cx
ReplyDeleteThe Kate dress looks very flattering. It must be nice to share a sewing day. None of my friends seems remotely interested in crafting....I need new friends!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds just like my kind of day!!
ReplyDeleteLove the dress... and the quote - too cute :)
ReplyDeleteI have to agree Gilly. It is so much better with a friend and tasty goodies.
ReplyDelete;)

I have a friend just like that! She is coming next week. I think she will be a wonderful help with "Share a Shirt " challenge. I am so glad you had such a lovely day and those makes are great.
ReplyDeleteLove Linda
Definitely better with a team of two! xx
ReplyDeleteIt's always more fun with two. Have a lovely weekend Gilly.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you both had a fun.
ReplyDeleteNow that sounds like fun! I often sew with my daughter which is lovely as we bounce ideas off each other and end up with much more creative creations as a result :)
ReplyDeleteYes couldn't agree more always so much fun sewing with two or more. Love your pretty dress!! It really is gorgeous xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh Pooh - the 'bear'er of so much wisdom ;) We used to have a book called The Tao of Pooh and I remember thinking what a wise old bear! Love that Kate dress - I think you need to start calling it the Gilly dress! Let me know if you're Yarndaling! Jane x

Another great Kate. I have been scuppered in the OWOP as the fabric I ordered hasn't arrived. Grrr! But I will be tuning in for others. Jo x
ReplyDeleteYou amaze me!! I mean seriously! I would love to just sit and watch you sew! I can't wait to see all the different fabrics from your one pattern.
ReplyDeleteI Hope you have a great week,
Tammy x
I was wondering why you were using a fabric with radio antenna or similar on it before I realised it was upside down. Now I see that they're ripples I really like the fabric.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful day to spend with a friend. The dress fabric is wonderful but I bet you haven't thrown your mistake away. If you're anything like me it will be placed in a stash.
ReplyDeleteAli xx
how lovely....I admit, I'm jealous. I would love to spend a day like that!
