I have been sewing. I altered two pairs of jersey RTW PJ trs (one plainnavy, one navy with tiny teal hearts). They had sewn in elastic which I unpicked and replaced with a casing and adjustable elastic with ribbon ends. That took a long time for something quite simple. I also made a little navy bolero jacket for my friend to wear over the blue RTW dress I shortened for her.
Then I shortened some velvet curtains for the same friend, and made tie backs from the bit I cut off.
I cut out a shirt for DH when he was out but haven't started sewing it
I made what I hope is the final bolero jacket. This little number from sequins and silver satin! I added a layer of flat piping made from the silver lining as the sequins are very scratchy (if pretty).
The Jackets are all the same pattern, the little bolero jacket from Prima March 2009.
