Lately I’ve been having major sewing block. Not quite like writer’s block, where you haven’t a clue what to write, but more like a block with almost every single project you embark on…

My projects so far have either been stalling for far too long or just go completely wrong meaning I’ve wasted a lot of time and effort! This makes me sad. Things that have contributed : me getting sizing wrong, lack of money to purchase zippers (thank goodness for the discovery of the 1 Euro box at my local sewing shop…), procrastination and then there’s the killer : after all that time and effort, discovering you don’t even like the outcome very much. DISASTER.

All is well now – I cracked out a lovely striped skirt last night from this pattern:

And am currently almost done with another lovely skirt from this Cynthia Rowley pattern : (just got caught up with Project Runway and saw that the designer had made an appearance as a guest judge…)

Pictures will come as soon as I get my camera back from Beef – she went to LAHNDAHN (read: London) last weekend and had to borrow it!

Heading to Amsterdam this weekend, very excited for it, not so excited that the weather is crap right now though. IT’S MAY FOR GOODNESS’ SAKE.
