Aaahhh its Friday...

We've had a nice day today, Gem and I hanging out. It's quite hot here but rain is now forecast for the weekend so we have to make the most of it. I wore my new skirt today which I finished off last night. It is definitely a bright and summery skirt, had some nice comments which is good as I wasn't sure at first. Photos taken by Gemma, too funny.





I made a quick little Pin Cushion today, literally a 5 minute job. I just cut 2 squares and sewed together, stuffed and stitched 2 cute little buttons bottom and top to finish it off. The fabric and buttons were from an old blog mailout from Amitie, so thought would put to good use.


My girls asked for some summer scarfs the other day so I showed them the fabric below which was given to me from a friend. They are already scarves but we didn't like the gold thread through the edges as shown, so I trimmed it all off and have been rehemming them as Gemma the little poser is wearing below. Perfect. The skirt she is wearing I made a couple of months ago, it is Iro Nano fabric, which is lovely to sew and great for clothes.







We've had a quiet but nice and relaxing day, hope you are all having a nice Friday, I am back home from school pick up, now just waiting for my hubby to come home, to share a nice cold beer with!!

Have a great weekend,

Until then,
