I Made it!



This is a top I made from Simplicity 2931.
I thought it would be perfect for my ever growing belly.
It's made from a light blue embroderie anglaise.



I decided to put a nice lace trim across the bodice. It gapes a little though but still totally wearable.
Size - 14.


Look, here I am squatting down for a photo as no-one else was around.
I do look a bit tired as it's first thing in the morning. He he.
Do you like my preggy belly? I'm getting really tired now.

Pop around to Meet Me at Mikes to win their book! I'd link to their site for you but my IE just went crazy on me and stalled my laptop!

Below are the first attempts of my quilt blocks for the baby quilt.
Yes, they are VERY wonky but I got better as I went along.


I have finished all the blocks and I can't wait to finish it.
Stay tuned for a very belated bloggerversary giveaway soon!

Invisible zipper foot - Birch

I thought I might shed some light on the invisible zipper foot. I bought a Birch model from Spotlight and it came in a little plastic bag with four blue shanks and a rolling foot. First I removed the standard foot from my Janome sewing machine (Sewist 521). I realised I still needed to remove the shank, which is the part that is screwed on, and holds the interchangeable feet. So with one hand holding the screwdriver and one hand holding my daughter, who just had to watch, it popped out disappeared somewhere. NO! I was about to kick myself but luckily I found it in the basket underneath my table. Phew. The Birch invisible zipper foot comes with one shank already in place so you know how it's suppose to fit. You have to select the correct shank that fits your machine and slide it onto the foot piece. I just tried each blue part on my machine and made sure it was wide enough to cover the metal leg bit and that I could fit the screw in it's side. Once you find the correct shank sl...
