WOYWW...

 Did this fool say something about work being quiet?  Since we were here last week everyone came out of the woodwork :-)



My sewing rail has filled and emptied and filled again.

I've had 6 bridesmaids  here for fittings...3 in the lovely champage colour.  One of them has already been collected.  I've had several pair of trousers to shorten and the shirt on the left is a gents shirt that he wants an extra 6" adding to the bottom...he's brought the fabric so I will probably be doing that today.....another challenge.



I did fittings on three bridesmaids dresses in this lovely lemon colour and I've shortened them all and they are now waiting in their boxes to be collected today....they are stretchy but wont crease so not the easiest to work on.

Both the champagne and the lemon dresses are all in different styles to suit each of the bridesmaids and they looked really lovely.




The only other thing that's on my desk today is a project basket.  I'm making a special lap quilt using bright colours for a special young lady.

I'm hoping to add pockets with hidden 'little friends' and noisy toys to stimulate her.....watch this space.




That's all from me for this week.  I hope you've all had a lovely week and are coping with the heat.

Hugs,

the dresses sound gorgeous and beautiful colours. Good luck lengthening a shirt.. that sounds tricky without making it look too obvious but I am sure you have a plan! Happy WOYWW Helen #1

How on earth do you lengthen a shirt? Or do you just add fabric on and leave the seam on show? Your ingenuity amazes me!! Lovely colours on the dresses and that project basket looks pretty, lots of gorgeous bits and pieces in there!
