It's been long weekend here due to Wellington Anniversary day - unfortunately the gift we received today was another
earthquake, I was at Ria's house for the afternoon sewing and the earthquake wasn't too bad - but it went on for a LONG time. We are all safe and well, but it does seem like there was some damage in other parts in the country.
I think that's enough about earthquakes for now - lets talk about more important things like sewing. I have had a pretty productive weekend sewing, I completed another
Laurel dress and I thought I'd share it with you all as I think it looks pretty darn good.
Ria lives out at Breaker Bay - so her view is a little nicer than our car park which is overgrown with weeds!
I found this fabric at the Arthur Toye closing down sale (the last day is 31 January - I'm so sad to say goodbye) on Friday and decided I MUST have it. I guess I MUST have loved it more than I thought as I bought it on Friday, washed and pressed it on Saturday and cut out and sewed up the dress on Sunday.
The other projects I have been working on over the weekend have been a version of
Christine Haynes Derby Dress made from very cute squirrel fabric. This frock is MOSTLY sewn up, which is good as I plan to wear it to a Wellington Sewing Bloggers Network event next weekend. I also cut out a simple blue wrap dress in from
a vogue pattern that my mum sent me.
Hope you've all had a great, creative, earthquake free weekend!
