I know they suit my shape as I wore them in my 20's on nights out. Think they had another name then.
But now in my 40's they don't fit with my image, if chasing a 4 year old with no make up, windswept hair and jeans that have the right knee worn out is an image.

The mums wearing them round here are the young ones dressed up to the nines at 8.45am. with designer holes in their otherwise immaculate jeans.

Here's a progress pic. I'm very pleased with it so far.

Life intervened and delayed my sewing.  Collar worked well. Thanks everyone.

Sleeve plackets now done, very fiddly. Sleeves attached, my first time and only one tiny tuck that will be well hidden by the pattern.

I think I'm going to have another delay as course work falling behind and new tutor coming on Tuesday. I definitely need someone checking up on my progress!

That is just amazing.

Something to inspire me along my sewing journey.

Thanks everyone. I will start centre back as my hair will cover any little puckers or missmatch.

I found this tutorial which also reminded me i need to trim the seam allowances first so unpinning, trimming and basting i will go!

If kids bedtime goes smoothly I'll try tonight.  Expect questions on cuffs next!

I'm working on my first shirt, Liesl and Co Classic Shirt. It's a bit of a leap for me but finding the instructions brilliant and going slowly.

I've nearly finished the collar, last step is to edge stitch the inside collar band.  It's all pinned and ready, but where is the best place to start from and should i go all the way round in one go?

It's going so well i don't want to suddenly stuff up.

Thanks, Lisa

The first one is the same style as a friend of mine who makes embroidered pictures and then gets them printed as cards etc.
Tanya something, i cant remember her last name as never used it!
