Funky Friday

The last day of winter and to celebrate we dressed our brightest.

Yumm

Look what arrived in my letter box today, yippeeeee!

Thank you Jody.

Naturally I have no nice fabric, I am off to the shops tomorrow.

I see can endless possibilities with this outfit, the perfect all season top and dress, and besides who can resist cake.

Thank you

Thank you Jodie for this fabulous top.

Sewing

Inspired by Jody Pearl I have taken a simple straight black skirt, op shopped of course and added a panel.

And made it reversible.

I added a couple of darts to the top of the panel for 'easment' around the waist.

It buttons on with 3 buttons around the top.

It's like having 2 different skirts, I could make another panel and have 4 skirts!

Semaphore Road Markets

If you happen to be in Semaphore on Saturday pop into the Masonic Hall on Semaphore Road and say Hello.

I've finally finished my 80's party outfit, a bit of sparkly gold braid added to the jacket, I went with my friend Kath's motto, "You can never have enough Glitter!".

I also decided to add extra frills to the shirt, I'm sure Adam Ant would approve!

We still have a couple of weeks before the party and usually I'm stitching at the last minute but for a change I am organised!

  

Flea Market Finds

I found this small white jug this week, very stained inside but good for flowers.

Reverse finds, I finally cleaned out my wardrobe!

I found clothes lurking back there I had forgotten I owned and will never wear.

It actually felt really good to sort and discard some stuff.

Pop over to Sophies for more treasure of the week.  

New Look

Take one plain cardigan...

Add ric rac around the edge and 3 crocheted flowers for a new look.

I really liked the shape of this cardi with the rounded edges at the bottom.

I must confess I am a cardi gal, being a "cold frog" I like to layer, I rarely remove layers just continue to add.

Hope everyone is staying warm this weekend, very wet and windy down here.
