Spring 2019 catch up
Here is a catch up on my progress this year, from sewing projects I have completed to my upcoming plans for the near future.
Pattern Review: Gable Top
I realised the other day that I never reviewed the Gable top pattern. Better late than never! Also, it means that I have lots of experience in wearing it! Details Pattern name: Gable Top Variation/Style: View 3 without the cuff Design House: Jennifer Lauren Handmade Size I made: 12 Fabric Stripey stretch fabric remnant from The Knitting & Stitching Show in 2017.

Pattern Review: The Frankie tshirt
Another #2018makenine is ticked off my list! This time, I used t-shirting from my stash to try out the new Tilly and the Buttons book Stretch!
