That's really lovely.   :loveit:
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

That's lovely, a good use of a border print.

This is my second entry.
It’s Simplicity 8641, made from a duvet cover. It’s a lovely soft washed denim.
I didn’t made any changes apart from cutting an 18 top and 22 bottom.

That  looks really useful.  I'm tempted to try that pattern but I have the opposite problem, I cut a 22 top and an 18 bottom, which I suspect won't look as good as yours.

It’s a very forgiving pattern...not much needed in the way of fitting

A work in progress pic of my project - blue jeans!!  :trousers:

They are the Morgan pattern from Closet Case, and were mainly made in a class last weekend, taught by the Close Case designer Heather-Lou. The fabric is a proper heavy indigo denim (non stretch) with a cute print for the pockets. They still need a bit of work to finish the waistband, but nearly there, and  I'm really pleased with the fit.

I've been away on holiday in Cornwall and other than the dark blue curtains for my friends living room haven't (yet) sewn anything blue. Hopefully I can get some sewing time this week.

This is my third entry (just squeezed it in before hollibobs )
The pattern is The Juniper Cardigan from Jennifer Lauren
https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-juniper-cardigan/
It’s the sort version with 3/4 sleeves


The fabric is a piece of crepy knit from  Immanuel
This was meant to be a toile but it turned out OK.
