Popped into the fabric shop for a zip.....

...... And some fabric for a toddlers romper suit. Came out with fabric for a dress for me, which was planned, and it needed a zip which I forgot! So I will have to admire the fabric a bit longer. Isn't it pretty though? 

Then I spied this beauty. My eldest granddaughter loves hello kitty things. It's so soft and a fluffy lined tracksuitting fabric. Just the thing for the hot weather we are having..... Not! I am aware it says heelo Kitty and not Hello. But I think GD will be still impressed. 

And I am planning on making this newlook pattern 6822 with it. 

The main view A which is shown on the model and orange diagram. I traced off the pattern earlier in afternoon and will get on with it tomorrow, while I am waiting for the zip I ordered to arrive that is. 

I also have a different kind of craft to try out tomorrow so will share that with you even if it goes disasteriously wrong. But for now I am off to bed. 

Take care and stay crafty

Monday

Bit of a strange day today. This afternoon just didn't seem to happen and then it was gone. I never got much time to do much apart from send a strongly but politely worded complaint email to someone. 

This evening saw the return of the Great British Sewing Bee. I love the show and it was this show that encouraged me to dig out my machine and start sewing again. I was like a complete newbie all over again. The first episode that aired tonight has encouraged me to get on with my A line skirt. 

I saw this fabric last Tuesday in Winchester 

It kind of reminds me of Sargeant Pepper kind of artwork or yellow submarine cartoon style art. Very 70's type of print and I had to have it. After a few chats in a few groups online I think I am turning this into an A line skirt. 

I also picked up some very girly fairy princess fabric a while ago with my granddaughter in mind, and will finally get to use it to make her a new PE bag for when she changes school soon.

I will try to remember to update you on my knitting project soon and a new knitting project to. But for now I'm off to sleep. 

Take care and stay crafty. Jules
