Kwik Sew 2325

Ok I take responsibility for the downturn in the weather!  During the heatwave I struggled and decided to make a summer dressing gown.  Easy pattern, but the fabric was horrible to work with, very slippery.  Much bad language ensued!    So I am particularly glad I didn’t use it for something where I needed to put in a zip.  I might make the nightie and knickers from the pattern too but I would rather use cotton or similar for those.

Very nice!

[fajita]

That's pretty.

Really pretty fabric, @Ravingdoll even if it was a pain.

That's lovely and very useful, even if summer is nearly over there's always next year or it will pack to take away.

[Samantha]

Very nice indeed! Worth the cursing!

Ah well, it's lovely and at least it'll be ready for next spring.

I bought some printed chiffon for a kimono throw-over and still haven't got around to it. It's got a bit of texture so hopefully won't shift around too much but it's definitely not happening now until next year - providing it's not sunk so far down the stash that I entirely forget I have it.

That's lovely RD, definitely going on my list.

After my recent stay in hospital, and my OH's attempt at bringing in clean (not matching) nightwear, I feel the need for some pretties!

Haha Jessie - I feel your pain.

When I was unexpectedly in hospital (a lot of years ago now) I told Mr Acorn where my pretty but not overly comfortable nighties were so that he could bring them in.  I told him exactly, to within inches.  He couldn't find them, and brought in a very old, faded, stretched cotton jersey nightshirt.  (I suspect that he simply didn't recognise the pretty nighties as something I'd wear in bed...  )

No matter though, because my Mum brought in a dressing gown of hers that was very pretty, so I could hide what was underneath.

No.  When Mr Acorn arrived that afternoon he was visibly upset because I didn't look like I do at home, so I changed back to my scruffy dressing gown (which, incidentally, I still wear almost 18 years later because it's soft and I like the colours... but not if anyone else might see me.)

I was mortified to have to leave hospital in this mis-matched attire - or wait several more hours for OH to go home to get me some outdoor clothes.  I opted for leaving immediately, knowing that the next outfit he brought me would be just as awful!  I slipped into the house hopefully unseen by the neighbours!
