Good afternoon, anybody in?  A little progress this afternoon, I put the zip in the linen trousers and tacked the bias binding to the edge of the waist facing, pinned the leg seams before tacking them tomorrow and checking the fit.  My body shape has changed a little since the last time I sewed in August or September last year.

Hello and welcome @Clduk  this is a lovely place for advice and encouragement and of course chatting about and showing our makes. Here in Ipswich we have Franklins for fabrics and all things crafty but I buy online mostly from Croft Mill or Minerva. Look forward to seeing your sewing.

Knock knock, can I come in?  At last I have started, I am cutting out a pair of summer trousers from pale green linen, am waiting for suitable thread and zip before I can actually sew them.  This isn't taking too long so maybe I can cut out the dressing gown tomorrow because I thought I could use some of the cotton lawn for the waist facings and pocket bags of the trousers.
Enjoy your sewing this afternoon.

Hello, I haven't got any sewing to do but I have found the dressing gown pattern and have sorted out the pieces I will need and have pressed them flat as they were very crumpled. I have been thinking about what to make with the pale turquoise linen I bought recently, skirt or trousers  ::thinks::  Does that count as a sewing pursuit? Maybe tomorrow I will cut out the dressing gown pieces. Enjoy your afternoon   :sew:  :vintage:
