Those are useful tops and you've made them interesting with the lace inserts. Well done!!

I like the look of that pattern but realistically I'll never make it so I'll admire your make instead. The fabric is interesting as well.

I didn't think there was a pattern to match on it @Bjay. Shows how we can be taken by surprise!!

My last two projects have been from stash but I succumbed at the Sewing show I went to at the NEC and then again at Malvern Quilt show so I'm probably at the same stage I was before!! I haven't been keeping a record so it is all a guesstimate at the moment.
The new fabric was worth it though!! Much better than my stash stuff

One down, one to go. The second one is cut out but heat in the sewing loft has got the better of me. Hopefully it will be finished......

Nothing to contribute on the machine side but just to say the answer to your thread question seems to be - Cornwall!!

Those look good enough to be a quilt on their own like that!! Love the colours.

@kowgiirl.up I've made this pattern a few times for my son. It made up very well and was quite a straight forward pattern. I know I had to adapt it to fit but I can't remember exactly what I did now. It was easier to fit him than a woman though!!

Years ago I made my granddaughter a skort just by making her a pair of shorts and a skirt and letting them have a common waistband. Can't remember how I fastened them now - it's too long ago and my memory isn't that good!!

I changed a single yoke to a double on the last trial blouse I made. Quite easy to do but I had to add the front facings first so that when I burritoed it the facings were enclosed in the yoke seams. It was very neat on the inside and I didn't need the back facing. Looks a good pattern, I too like Style patterns and have a few old ones still in my repetoire.

That looks a lovely useful dress @anni - smart enough for going out but casual enough to be for everyday. You must be pleased with it.
