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.
