Playing


Well it's been a while since I popped in here, time is just flying by.

Last weekend I spent with my besties in the beautiful Clare Valley. Kath doesn't own any cows but we woke up Sunday morning to discover 8 cows circling the house.
Apparently they liked the look of the property so pushed their way through the fence and came to say Hello!



We did manage a little sewing in between laughing, eating and drinking.
Sue drafted this pattern for me and told me to add 5 mm to each pattern piece, there were supposed to be 7 pieces to this vest but unfortunately I have a slight problem of some sort, measuring maybe, and ended up with the vest being way to big and had to remove two panels completely!



I cut the vest from a boiled wool jacket and finished the neck edge with a felted jumper band.
Sue made a little felted broach to cover my bad stitching and finish the vest off.



The studio cat did his best to help out!
I had a great weekend, Thank you.

It's lovely to see you back.
The vest looks nice and warm, as does the cat snuggled in the scraps. x

Was such fun, even with the marauding cows and curled up cats under foot!
Thank you. Let's do it again soon!
