Well what a week its been. This was my last week of ‘softying’ before a little Easter break, and unfortunately I was on a ‘go slow’, I had a ungraceful fall down an escalator last weekend and cut my right arm open. So I was a little less productive than normal. However I did finish my Lounge pants from the February One Per Month challenge. Only a month or so late.
They were super easy… in fact I barely followed the pattern. I used purchased cord, rather than making at as the pattern suggested, out of sheer laziness. They are made from Heather Ross wildflowers in fuchsia and trimmed in Heather Bailey bijoux tile in lime, which I think is more of a celery colour than lime. They are brighter than I intended and practically glow in the dark, but I love them. I plan to make another pair our of a lovely vintage sheet I found the other day, though I might bring the legs in a little more.
Anyhow does this happen whenever your camera comes out?
The boys always insist on being in the photo, and won’t go back to what they were doing until you take their picture.
Edited to add… I should point out that the hems aren’t crooked, its just a dodgy pic. oops

I’ve been postie stalking for a week or so now, desperately waiting for these to arrive. Some lovely fabric for my lounge pants
and these patterns on sale for US$ 2.99 each a few weeks ago
Interestingly, the man is not so keen on my newfound clothes sewing interest, and rolled his eyes at these purchases.

Well look what arrived in the post for me yesterday….
My swap from the super talented Katy from What Katy Did. I would have taken a picture but I was too excited to wait and get the camera.
Katy sent this lovely bag..
And she used her new Yudo on the back
Inside the bag were these
Another lovely little bag in a pretty Heather Ross print with matching polka dot lining swoon… It has already become the travelling home for my pincushions and threads for my hand sewing.
Some self-cover buttons. I have never used these and the mind boggles about the possibilities! I’m thinking of making some hair-ties for a friends daughter.
And a really pretty piece of Asian fabric featuring Storks and Sakura (my favourites).
This was my first swap and it was a great experience. It was fun working on a gift for someone whom you haven’t met, and great to receive a surprise in the post. Thanks so much Katy I love it all. Thanks also to Stacey for organising the swap.
