Simplicity 1221 1940's vintage look pinny.

My latest make was from this pattern. I wanted to do something quick and easy.

The pinny took longer than I thought it would and was a little harder than super simple. I find simplicity patterns not the easiest to follow. Does anyone agree? I think I may prefer Burda.. but I will keep going and try some more to see if I am right. Plus Simplicity do do some lovely patterns

I changed it slightly and didn't cross the straps at the back. As I do intend to wear it, and I wanted it to be easy to take of and put on. I also attached some buttons at the back.
I used some old fabric and the pocket is smitten kitten from Michael Miller, I had a little scrap left from another project.

On to the next - which is another simplicity...

 

the weather is gorgeous!

pizza hut pizza not..

Does this Pizza look tasty? No? would you like a pizza delivered with some nice bite marks out of it. It seems that this is the service you get from Pizza Hut. Last week I ordered my children Pizza. I hadn't had time (or inclination!!!!) to cook and as my daughter was back from Uni I thought I would treat them.

We ordered the pizza's (luckily I didn't want one!!)  and this beauty arrived. I called to complain and was told it was fine.... but they would send another with 15 mins. An hour later and hungry teenagers I called again to be told they were very busy..May be they were busy eating bits from peoples pizzas?
What had annoyed me most is that, that was it. No sorry, no nothing. I filled in the customer form with the details to head office and no one has bothered to get in touch. So beware one and all...I still feel slightly queezy..
Now I hae just finished making a pinny which I will show you tomorrow! xx

The shirt Dress continues..

The shirt dress continues to be a make a like to do....Below you can see my lovely sister who asked me to asked me to make her one. She is a funky woman and wanted it in the berry good from Elizabeth studio fabric. I was really excited and a little nervous about making it.

 As it was nearly finished I got more excited. I think it looks great! and wished I had made myself one in this fabric too! I cant now as I know my sister would not be happy with me copying her!
The fabric is available here

 Bunty her lovely spoodle had to get in on the act!

 Here are the dresses in solid kona cotton fabrics...

Today I am going to make another style but I am sure I will be using the shirt dress pattern again!

happy sewing
