Thought of Spring

Not time yet to don the sandals and put away the warm boots!I think I shall still keep my furry boots on for a while!

I have been sewing away with the new Janome which I bought myself when my old Husqvarna screwed up once to often,ok" a bad workman blames his tools" but it was a very elderly machine.



Inge De Jonge always has some gorgeous feminine clothes to remind me of warmer days.

I like the neckline of this lovely blouse ,it has an feeling of the fashions during WW1.

Ostebro is another Scandinavian fashion house that has some gorgeous clothes.

I have never found anything from Britain to rival the Scandinavian ,French and Italian designers of romantic clothes,

Please someone prove me wrong!

This is from Oskander and I love the simplicity.

I am sewing now and have two dresses on the go I will post pics when they are done . I would love to adapt this dress if I could find a wrap around pattern suitable.

Ivey Ibitz is a new discovery,very distinctive designs ,bespoke garments .The style is very Downton Abbey.

I have made two  dresses and a pair of harem pants towards my spring and summer wardrobe and hope to start a blouse tomorrow,it is a top with  a peplum and long sleeves. 

Well I hope there are some ideas here  to please and entice!

If Winter comes ,can Spring be far behind?
