WOYWW...

Another week of lockdown has passed....we will get there folks.

I've had no sewing for customers this week so have been enjoying lots of sewing for pleasure time.  

Thanks must go to Lynn Holland for her inspiration with my Clementine Cat last week.  She suggested I made a floaty dress for her so I made her a fully lined one with a lace underskirt like Lynn often wears....and I really love the result.

I was waiting for some lace to arrive last week to trim up some pretty pants for Wilhelmina and Clementine ....I like my girls to maintain their modesty  :-)  Of course they both have tails so I designed them both some with holes in the back for their tails to go through.....they couldn't wait to show you.

My little family has grown too this week as I've now finished Reynard Fox.  His tail was supposed to be attached on a button so it could remove when dressed but I decided to sew it in place and adjust the clothing accordingly ....he's rather lovely don't you think?

Of course it's rather chilly at the moment so I quickly run him up a pair of dungarees on Monday and he's now sat waiting for me to make him a shirt to go under it....I really love all the details in the making of each garment.  The dungarees are double stitched down the side seams and the pocket details are lovely...the back pockets are stitched with details just like a proper pair of jeans and the front bib pocket even has a little side pocket for his pencil to go in [if only I had a pencil that small].

When I'm sat hand sewing in the sitting room all my bits keep dropping on the floor so this week this lovely new lap table arrived and it's simply perfect for the job....it is adjustable so will also go over a bed if ever needed so will always be useful....as you can see my little partner in crime is never far from me. If she can't get upside me on my chair when I'm sewing she sits at my feet :-)

You can also see our latest jigsaw on the table in the background....I think this is the 8th we have done now :-)

I hope you are all finding plenty to keep you busy while we wait out this lockdown safely.

Hugs,
