Well I’ve had a massive weekend of sewing. Yesterday I did quite alot and I feel as though I got the hang of the overlocker too.
First up I made three pairs of pants for the boys
Hamish looking coy in his new duds.
All are made from navy corduroy (exciting hah), two have car fabric trim, and one has robot fabric trim. The pattern for the two with mutton-chop pockets is one that I have been trying to perfect for a little while. I think the legs need to be more tapered though it’s probably hard to tell from the pictures.

Next up was my second schoolhouse tunic. It really is a very generous pattern. This time I made the size 10-12 and still took it in a little. I overlapped the front bodice slightly as well. I also lengthened it by about 1 inch and a half. I really like how it turned out, though it’s still really roomy. Perfect for today’s Craft Room meet day, as there was plenty of space for stomach expansion.
The fabric is a lovely Linen blend I purchased from Spotlight 6 months ago. The splotchy print reminds me of lots and lots of berries.
What do you think?

At the moment we live in quite a small space. Most of my crafting is done at my sewing nook which is in the corner of our bedroom, or on the couch in the loungeroom. One day I hope to have a dedicated sewing ro0m or studio. Anyhow the nook is getting a revamp. I’ve been keeping these flickr photos as inspiration.

I don’t know if I could choose a favourite though. I think I definitely need one of these.
Whats your crafting area like? Are you lucky enough to have a room all of your own for it?
