Prints Charming

After reading this post by Annie I thought I should pop into Spotlight and check it out. While I was in Bathurst yesterday I did just that, and bought this Prints Charming fabric to make myself a new skirt, and it was on special too! Fingers crossed that this time I will continue to love the fabric enough to ACTUALLY MAKE the skirt.

As I spent the morning standing at athletics in a pea soup fog and about zero degree temperature, I rewarded my self with just a little fabric goodness. And some parlan and interfacing....both very exciting! The one at the back is actually a green Michelle Hill, not black at all.

I have been sewing my Floral Beauty blocks together by hand, so a little progress to show.

I recently discovered how easy it is to make creme brûlée, so I am having another go at it today, with a new little burner to make the yummy toffee top. So, a little soccer, a little cooking and maybe an afternoon of sewing for me. Hope you have a great weekend too.

  2. Ah yes Susan I can imagine standing in that pea soup fog! Hope you continue to like that skirt fabric too...it will look great! Did you make that Floral Beauty all by hand? It's lovely and it would make a nice hand stitching project! Whose pattern is it? Mmm Creme Brûlée...one of my favourites! Wishing you a lovely day xo
