I finally made a pair of trousers that really fits, on the fifth attempt! Super chuffed with these cords, in dark red, one of my favourite winter colours. This is a new sewing pattern and really works with three different body shape options.
Next up, christmas pyjama trousers, classic jeans and a red jersey dress.

My favourite sewing and sewing patterns reflect things I wear and like to make. The easiest is the pyjama trousers, top middle, with a tricky trouser project I am working on top right. My favourite comfy jersey dresses appear at the bottom with a useful drapey cardi. I have made all these several times in different fabrics and they always work.

I have been sewing on, slowly and persistently and also knitting.
I am currently sewing a brown 70s style corduroy skirt. I have been increasingly drawn to 70s stuff lately. It was to have been trousers but the cord was too thick.
Projects completed: a festive stretch red velvet dress in the cheapest fabric ever, about £2 a metre. It looks surprisingly ok.
I am also planning to knit some legwarmers in this colour to try out different cabling techniques 🧶
And I am doing a skirt and a pair of fingerless gloves for Leen.
For some reason I have hardly any winter bottoms, one skirt and three pairs of trousers one of which is too small. I see more corduroy in my future.
