Project: Linen Jacket

Decided to incorporate a little embroidery into this project with a small flower on the back of the jacket which I beaded in the centre. Embroidery is such a simple way to add a little something extra to your garments and give it an individual touch.




I finished the seams with pink satin binding known as the Hong Kong finish. This linen jacket would make the transition from summer to winter easily as it's so versatile and can be worn with anything from linen trousers, to jeans and dresses.







Hope you like it and enjoy your weekend :)

Project: Denim Bag

Hi Bloggers,
Well Ive been very busy sewing pieces for my market stall! So I haven't had much time to post anyway here's a taste of whats in store- to begin I had a 30 year old piece of denim(yes 30 years old at least)and a bottle of bleach, the pictures tell what happened next and how it all turned out.....










I had enough denim left to make a couple of hats. Hope your all enjoying the weekend :)

Project: White Linen Kaftan

Hi Bloggers, well Ive been really lazy with the blogging, but not so lazy with the sewing-so here's a look at my latest project.
I have decided to make a kaftan from two metres of white very light weight linen that Ive had for ages. The pretty lace I bought in a little shop in Co.Kildare and I embellished with silver thread as with the L.W.D in my last post.
I hope to post lots more as I will be making lots of pieces for my upcoming market stall. Hope you enjoy my post, have a great week :)
