Preston Patternreview weekend



How pleased was I that this was on my doorstep! I joined the ladies just on the Saturday for the obligatory Abakhan run, and then we went to Preston market which I had never really looked at! great stalls... which was a pleasant surprise. Ruth then drove us all to Lancaster where we went to Fabrix, my local fabric shop, and a great one! As per usual was el skinto, so only bought one piece of fabric... a fabulous red wool to make a dress, this one hopefully, if the newsagent still has my Burda mag kept aside. It was nice just to look at fabrics without worrying about entertaining a three year old! Here's some pics (nicked from Jenni!)

Prima top and skirt


Made this top recently and the skirt last year from Prima patterns. Review to come... sewing has taken a bit of a backseat recently due to a busy start of term at work (and Ofsted!). Anyway, hoping to get back into it...still have that massive stash to work through!
