Dressmaking Day

A few days ago mum came up for the afternoon and evening, and I got her to help with some UFO dressmaking projects.  I'm not one to following instructions very well, and I'm not very impressed with the pattern instructions, but I love the look of the top so started it a year (or maybe two) ago

I did the grunt work (stitching and ironing) while mum did the matching and pinning and the understanding which bits go where, and which bits I hadn't cut enough of


So now she's left me with the finishing off that I can be trusted with

(I sent Jackie a copy of that first pic, and she was very complimentary about the state of the table - this is the rest of it, we only cleared enough to work on!!!)

    Sewing is way more fun than tidying!
