Getting going 'gain...

It's been a while since the Janome and I had a date. Moving house, packing the stash, relocating things and still not having a set sewing space, have all combined, and I have no motivation.

However, a thrifted silk skirt (too small for my ample hips!) became a bag on the weekend, huge and roomy, with bamboo handles which make a lovely clunk when they meet. This one will stay with me I think.

While the machine was out, I made a skirt for Miss 2. Miss 2 loves twirling, and I love this Indonesian, rainbow batik fabric from work, so she got a new full-circle skirt for spinning in.


Today, dolly got a matching one..... (She and Mr Jess are watching the news...)


Do I have too much time on my hands?!?

Either way, it's nice to get going again.

What a beautiful bag. I like the sound of the handles.

And the skirt is very cute. With all that fabric, it looks like it would be very twirlery indeed!
