Im back and Im a Mrs!!

Ok, I have been really rubbish of late, I got married! woohoo!
I had the most amazing day, more than I could ever imagine, and the honeymoon to Mauritius and Dubai was INCREDIBLE!!!
Anyways, the point of me writing this blog was so that I could talk about my sewing. Good and bad!!! hehe
Ok so the dress mentioned in the last post (ages ago!)was finished and I took it on honeymoon with me. Im so glad that I picked such a lightweight cotton. Im waiting on the other half to take pictures of me in it so I can post it here. But I was very happy with it.

In the time between then and now I enrolled myself on a City&Guilds course, which I start on the 21st of this month - im very excited! But, i have been doing some sewing all by myself with thanks frm Sew Mag, which now I really love and cant wait for the new mag to drop through my letterbox.
So i made a cute little jersey tie up cargidan, and it fits me. I know that is the point of making your own clothes, but each time something is finished and actually fits Im still a little surprised.

I also bought some lightweight stretch denim to make some cropped jeans also from the mag, they were going so well, I even managed to put in an invisible zip (thanks to YouTube)and it worked and you couldnt see it - until I realised that I had actually sewn it to the outside of the trousers! Am I the only one to do this??
I didnt realise I was being a muppet at the time of stitching.

So finally, just to make sure everything is all up to date - I am addicted to Gerties Blog for Better Sewing. I love her style and her quirky blog. And im doing the sew - along!
So My lady grey pattern has arrived, I have bought some wonderfully soft navy wool, and a rather fabulous lining with circles on it that has just the right amount of shimmer in it to make me feel alittle blingy! Bring on the start of the sew -along! I cant wait. If you are in the UK and wanting to join - you can get the pattern from a lovely lady called Vonnie at The Life Craft.

Anyways, im planning on getting the pictures on here tomorrow, and I totally intend to keep this up to date.
Its good for my memory.....
