Though we did venture out into civilisation one bright sunny day, for a walk along a frozen lake!
So I just thought I would recap on some of the things I've been working on during my recent hibernation!
My Brit Bee secret santa pinny looked liked this:
and it went to this lovely lady!
I've managed to get a good bit done on my first tunic too, but as there is no such thing as a 'standard' size, I'm now trying to 'shape' it to suit my unique proportions! Not really sure what I'm doing, but happy to play and experiment with it.

I've been pinning versions of this pattern since it came out. I love the shape of it and think (hope) it will suit my shape.
Looking forward to giving this one a go!
I also got some Bee Blessed blocks done today, but more on that tomorrow!
That's all for now folks!
Jude xo
we love our pinnie, and the extras were just lovely too (not sharing those!) thank you xxxxx
ReplyDeleteAh, now you are actually the right shape for a Tova (on me it would look like a circus tent!)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are enjoying the holidays and making things for you for a change. Good luck with the garment sewing.
ReplyDeleteHappy NEW Year Judith! I can imagine how wonderful time you had just enjoying your time at home with the girls and goodies. x Teje
ReplyDeleteI love to hear that you are just chilling this holiday, even in your sewing. Feels good to get off the hamster wheel even for a little bit.
ReplyDeleteNice to read that you've been able to "take time and smell the roses" .... careful though, it can be addictive. :D
ReplyDeleteAll the best for 2015, Jude!
You are the "shape" that suits everything! Small! I'm with Katy. I would like a tank in the Wiksten Tank. Nice to sit around and do not much for the holidays.
