In the wardrobe / Re: Purple jersey trousers

Darts and front and back seams sewn, waist facing finished off, now ready for zip and side pockets to be done. A bit more concentration needed for those jobs. Getting there slowly.

Well. I've made a start, the darts are pinned ready to sew and I've made the waist facing. I found a greyish mauve zip and some purple thread. I'll do some more today.

In the wardrobe / Purple jersey trousers

Cut these out today with a little help from my friend. I got him to do most of the pinning and bending over the table and I managed the cutting out. Now to find suitable thread and a zip.

It is finished, I think I will keep it to wear in hospital when I have the other hip done which could be in a couple of months.
The purple jersey with corduroy finish is on the table waiting for a helping hand for pinning on pattern pieces and cutting out so all happening here.

Nothing there for me except V1819 the wavy front dress, just because it's different but it would challenge the accuracy of my seam sewing  0_0.

Thus one is cotton jersey, it is light but warm to wear with a two way stretch, I got it from Minerva, the cut edges curl up a bit but it is nice to work with.

Did a but more yesterday and found and favourite trousers pattern so the purple ponte with the corduroy style finish might come out of the box. So sleeves and hems next for the nightshirt.

@BrendaP  I use the Colorista pinky lilac spray sometimes, it livens up my silvery grey hair and I'm 79  :D but I admit to having pale cream walls in my bungalow but with bright colour pops here and there.

Made a start today, I cleaned my machine, changed the needle and threaded her up ready. I sewed the shoulder seams and the sleeves. I can sit and pin the neckline edge now and be ready to sew some more tomorrow.
