Do you all love a ‘reveal’?

 I know I do.

So here’s one from me….via the Great British Sewing Bee my bestest crafty programme on TV at the moment.

For reference you can find my original post here with the challenge I set myself and a few glimpses of my sewing room!

So…..Find your pattern:

…and…..

First some handy equipment tips…these are things I could not do without when sewing…

.

….and…

Mine are fiskars…really worth the expense if you sew a lot!

Now some work….

cut out your pattern….

and…

Remember to….

 On preparation….

On red, red wine….

On Pinning….

On Zips….

On sewing in…

Biggest and bestest ‘Tip’ I could ever give you…..

On Neatening…

I like the inside of my garments to be as neat a the outside…..

I like a bit of  topstitching…

not my best effort….? but looks better in reality honest!

are you ready…

Here it comes……

Hanging on….

and I have some fave old plimmsolls to wear with it too

So what do you think?
