In the week just gone, I found myself at home alone while my children were back at school.
To keep myself busy I gave myself lots of sewing to do! (I know, hard life!)
Firstly, I finished the Drunk Love 2 Tone quilt. I am so proud of this quilt. It's a LOT of sewing, but I took my time, only picked it up when I could do 3+ hours without stress and decided it would be finished when it was finished.

Then, I made a Red Riding Hood cape for World Book Day! We are going as favourite book/ poetry characters. I'm inspired by Roald Dahl's rhyming poem of LRH!
After that, I bought the Mollie Makes Red Nose Day Crafternoon Magazine (say that Drunk!) and made the Sew Over It Molly Breton Top which was in the magazine (and the main reason that I bought it). I realised afterwards it's a similar pattern to the Great British Sewing Bee's Breton top pattern in their last book with new judge Esme on the front!! Anyway I used a flower patterned jersey fabric which I bought c2 years ago. And it turned out really well. I will definitely make a few more if these.
After that, I took out my unfinished Sew Over It Heather dress that I started just after the pattern release and took the side seams in as it was far too wide.
Now the fit is much better. As it's black it's hard to see the details.

The last thing that I made was a pair of girls' leggings for my 4 year old niece. She's quite tall for her age so I cut the size 6. I used left over fabric from another project that I did a while ago.
So it has been busy. I've definitely got my sewing mojo back. I have ordered some more fabric from Abakhan Fabric shop. For another Molly, a Colette patterns Hawthorn and a Sew Over It Nancy!!

Sadly the pictures don't show for me, any idea why?
That's strange, they have come up for me in Chrome, but I just checked in IE and not showing there. I don't know. I will investigate. All I can suggest is try a different web browser for the moment. Many thanks for reading my blog. Claire
Ok, I have reinserted the photos, and it appears to be working now across different browsers. Sorry about that. Claire
