Sewing Bee

I'm home!

I'm having a few little issues

with my wound,

but generally feeling good to be home

and glad that it's over.

Before I went in for my operation,

and one of the reasons,

I was such a bad blogger

was because I was dabbling

 with a bit of garment sewing.

I used patterns from 

The Great British Sewing Bee

and made myself 3 tunics

(one long enough to be worn as a dress)

and a tunic for Miss Kalico.

I also made my friend's husband

and Mr Kalico some shorts

from a pattern I cut myself.

It was lovely to look out the window one day

and see them wearing stuff I'd made.

I have bought the second book

and hope to make a few more things 

when I can drive my machine again.

In the meantime I am handsewing the borders on 

my rose star hexagon quilt for Miss Kalico.
