Sometimes table cloths can be no more than that....

Im not sure if I mentioned that a lot of my fabric has come from second hand stores..and TradeMe. Well the other day I found some pretty funky fabric that I think is was a tablecloth. I thought it would be fantastic for a A-line skirt....Well as it turns out...even though it was cut up and sewn.....it still looks like a table cloth...In fact, it is a FAR better table cloth than skirt....suffice to say I stopped where I was before I spent to many more hours on something that was just never going to become......anything.

Win some lose some! I'm not concerned. From that particular project I reminded myself about how to sew in zips and learnt BRAND NEW TO ME how to make a waistband...historically I have just left plenty of seam to roll down....not now! I know how to make a really lovely waistband.

My parents have been down visiting so I haven't been getting my creative ON lately. Last night though I whipped up some snazzy pants for my friends wee dudes 1st birthday. I decided to use all the cut offs that I had laying around to make the outer and lined them with yellow sweatshirt fleece...whatever its called. I can't stand it..so it is GREAT for lining and making lovely snugly winter pants. I hope he/she likes them!!!

My phone has fallen ill and will be at phone hospital for at least 15 days...so no photos yet...but once I get it back I will post some!
