Well what can I say, I have been a naughty girl again. Yes you guessed it I have bought more fabric…

You (meaning my husband) will be glad to know it was from the bargain box/bucket so I feel justified in buying fabric that I had no specific plans for. Well I would only regret it latter if I did not buy it and I HATE to regret anything.



I decided to abandon one of the projects I had started some time ago, do you remember the top I had cut out?

After cutting it out I hit a brick wall, the fabric is very thin and see-through so I did not want to add interfacing as you would be able to see it. But because that would mean moving away from the pattern I couldn’t figure out where to go from there, when I say I have abandoned it what I mean is I have put it away until I have a bit more clothes making under my belt as I have decided it is a bit beyond me.
But I still like the pattern and now thanks to my bargain I have some material to give the pattern a whirl. So I started again

I have cut out all the pieces and have stared at the instructions for what felt like an eternity, I am sure it is in another language.
I hope to try and finish the top this week.
In other (slightly less interesting) news:
I have seen a great deal of recipes for play dough online recently and seeing as my son has been on summer break from nursery for the last two weeks I decided to try one of the recipes out, I tried this one:

I was not very organised as I had no food colouring or cream of tartar but it worked out fine and my son had so much fun

and I got to do a bit of this:

so a success all round.
