Morning everyone
I thought I smelt the rain yesterday but suspect it was someone watering their garden lol.. We havent had any since Cyclone Dovi but even then we didnt get much.
Ohh Noo Kiwimade re your secateurs.. MrP has several but reckons he could never find them, probably cos he never looked on the shelves next to the freezer which is totally away from all the rest of his tools cos I put them there lol.
I did the wrap yesterday. Took nearly half an hour to hem the dam thing lol.. Very stretchy and the colours have lots of little bobbles on them, just big enough to catch in the foot of course. But Im pleased with it.
I wouldn't mind sewing again today , but Im not sure what I want to do. Although I could put the gingham ribbon on the pillowcases I got last year. Im thinking Ill have to undo the side seams to slot it in properly... What I Really need to do is go to spotlight and buy a decent pattern for a nice simple summer dress... I have some lovely Broderie Anglaise fabric in both pink and red and would love something frilly. Not just skirts. Last time I used a pattern was for a friends daughter ball dress back in 2004 lol
Time is getting away so I better decide what Im going to do lol.
Both our oppies are now shut with Covid..
Stay safe and well everyone
