Have you finally done a thing that you have been putting off for long? Figuring the invisible zipper? Putting sleeves on correctly on first try? Conquered a new fiddly fabric? Created the most perfect fit?

It has been downhill since the stripped dress I'm afraid, but that dress has the most perfectly matching stripes all around and that makes me very proud! (I have also finally brought my machine to the repair shop and it's running much more smoothly, huge improvement)

I made my first item of clothing. I had an old pair of PJ trousers that were really comfortable, but they were falling apart. I unpicked them and used them as a pattern using some jazzy material.

It was a learning curve, particularly the pockets and elasticated drawstring waistband. But I figured it out!
