Good for you – you found the new me!
You may have come from Sewruth or you may be new – regardless – I hope we’ll have a very happy future together as we go through my sewing successes and failures and have a few laughs along the way.
I’m making a summer version of a Chanel jacket – buttermilk coloured Linton tweed with an ivory silk lining.It’s Claire Schaeffer’s Vogue couture pattern,
so I may be some time…….

I should cut out a size bigger to accommodate all that sitting around hand sewing and eating! LOL
Thanks Coco

Sorry to hear about all of your lost photos, and glad to see you are persevering with blogging. I’ll follow you here!

I felt such an idiot when I realised what I’d done! And believe Dixie – I felt like giving up there and then. Thanks for the encouragement.

Well, looks like you will have another fabulous jacket.
What made you move to WordPress? Just the photo issue or do you like the platform better?
April 27, 2013 at 9:45 am
I’ve been toying with WordPress for a while now which is just as well as the deleted photos were already imported here. So between the deleted photos and I think many more options available in wordpress – it was time to jump.

will look beautiful – look forward to seeing it.
April 27, 2013 at 9:44 am
Thanks Pauline – are you procrastinating?
April 25, 2013 at 7:07 am
Ah….. this is nice. My Notebook computer found SewRuth less user friendly (ie some sideways scrolling required!)
April 27, 2013 at 9:42 am
It’s cleaner – if you know what I mean? Thanks Sally.

Welcome to WordPress, Ruth! Soon you will have inspired me to venture into tailoring.. especially if French pastries are essential snackage.
April 27, 2013 at 9:36 am
French pastries are essential snackage regardless of the sewing project!
April 26, 2013 at 4:58 pm
