No sewing yet... but planning much!

My sewing machine is still at the shop *sigh*, so no sewing here. However in addition to the McCall's 5633 - linen shorts I was making when the machine went away, I have also cut out McCalls 5464 View A (without pockets) - a jumper to take me through late Summer into Autumn...

and BWOF 08-2008-103 blouse in the brown poly satin bought from the remnant table at Gardams.
I was planning to use the multi-coloured silk for this, but decided to try it in this first. If it works really well I may use the silk to make another one.

The biggest frustration is I have the time at the moment as I don't need to work so much while I have a University student working during his vacation. I think I will have to call tomorrow and ask after my little machine... *sigh*.

Anyway I am getting plenty of work-out time at the gym ... *sigh*... haven't got bored enough yet to clean the house though! :)

  1. I hope you get your machine back soon! Mine needs to be serviced but I can't bear the thought of being parted from it...

  2. I love that Burda top so much! Happy sewing when your machine returns refreshed and renewed from its little holiday...
