Well what a whirlwind of a week that was! Thursday I was at my gran’s for dinner, Friday I drove the charity run participants straight up from work up to Kenmore, Saturday was the actual run back to Glasgow starting at 6 am, which, by the time we went to the pub at the end and I drove everyone home, got me back home at 10:30 pm, Sunday I went out to lunch with mum and dad, and then did my holiday clothes shopping until 6:30 pm, and on Monday from 8:30 – 5:30 I was doing my Commonwealth Games leadership training. I went back to work yesterday for a rest! Anyway, I actually did get some making done in there, amazingly…
Finishes This Week:
I was pattern testing last week for Rachael for her new Alder Skirt for Women pattern. I used a lightweight cord to make this, and I promise it fits me with a straight waistband, but Diana wasn’t co-operating (unfortunately I didn’t get it hemmed and the waistband finished until mum and dad had gone home again, and I haven’t got room to set up the tripod in a space that fits me in too, so no photo with me)
In Progress This Week:
These panels are almost 2 completed bags now, and at least one will hopefully will be done tonight:
To Be Worked On This Week:
Covered notebook to take away with me
New pouch for my phone
A couple of wee drawstring bags
That should do it I think, and my machine is going in for a much needed service when I’m away too.
Linking up, as ever, to:
Wow, that was some weekend! Looks like a good simple-ish skirt pattern. Juliex
What a busy weekend! It's neat to see your skirt, even though it's not on you. :}
What a week/weekend that was!! Love the skirt – maybe you can take it away with you and someone will get a photo of you, rather than Diana, in it!
Oh, yummy sneak peak!
I like the skirt, looks like an interesting pattern.
I feel exhausted just reading about your week . You werent kidding when you said you had a ton of things to get done were you?
You are a complete champion for being able to make a skirt and do some other sewing in amongst all that lot!
That skirt is great! Everything should have pockets I think 😀
That skirt is great. How do the pockets go when it's on, do they sit a little closer to the body? (My hips don't need any extra width, is what I'm saying…)
You amaze me with how much you get accomplished! Can't wait to see your bags!
that skirt is gonna be gorgeous on you! clearly we need pics of that 😉
looking forward to seeing the bags etc. XX! Lori
Nice skirt! Sounds like your sewing machine will be glad of the break too 🙂
The design of your skirt is gorgeous. You're going to look fab in it!
That looks a nice simple pattern for a skirt. Love the sunny colours of your bag.

Great skirt! And the wee drawstring bags are for…..?
love the skirt – I take it the pockets dont go ALL the way down to the hem???
