Oh happy day!


 

You may be asking yourself why the cast of On the Town (one of my favourite films) are jumping for joy? Because it's my birthday of course! I haven't really been paying attention for a couple of years and now I appear to be 44!! How the hell did that happen?!

Moving swiftly on… the SUN IS SHINING in the UK!! Yes, it really is! After a gruesomely glum winter, spring looks like it's finally here. I intend to have a fab day: lunch with my husband and then an extra special viewing of the Great British Sewing Bee final tonight! Plus, I have the added high of knowing I managed to snaffle this wonderful pattern in the swap at Saturday's epic meet-up. Whoever donated it, THANK YOU! These are the PJ's of my dreams and I can't wait to make them.


I'll be back with some more sewing once the excitement has worn off! x

    Happy Birthday Jane! Hope you have a lovely day. I am also so looking forward to the Sewing Bee final tonight - it will be a close call as both Lauren and Ann are very good! I am currently shirring away, had forgotten how much I love making shirred dresses... they're so cute!

    Happy Birthday Jane! I wanted to let you know that I have continued to follow and love your blog, and now so many more sewing blogs, since we met at the vintage fair in Whitstable, (I'm Hannah from Anchors Aweigh Vintage), and I have finally bought a shiny new sewing machine! I can't wait to get stuck into sewing properly when I graduate in a couple of months, I love your Miette skirt from Tilly, I'm thinking about that as an early project! I hope you have a lovely day!
