    Molly and Tamster i'm now following you both. i only started my blog a couple of months ago and its amazing how quick blogging gets addictive. I do exactly the same and then realise i have spent all night adding new blogs to follow and not got anything crafty done at all:D

    Love the purse Debs and that dress is gorgeous diable

    Has anyone made anything from a Prima sewing pattern? I have a subscription copy of the latest issue and the dress looks quite nice. I normally sew housey bits and I haven't really done any dressmaking before. The page in the mag says some skill required and quick result. So - would it be ok for a novice to have a go at?

    And I want to have a go at making a knee length skirt. I love skirts by White Stuff and Boden (although I haven't bought any from Boden yet!). I'm now on the hunt for nice skirt fabric. Suggestions welcome!

    Hi Mollymunchkin :D I made a simple cover-up jacket from a Prima pattern, it was my 1st attempt at makeing clothes and I found it very easy to do. The instructions were easy to follow and it turned out great :D

    Thanks for the reply Hart. I will bear it in mind as a future project. Just as soon as I've finished the personalised bunting and a tea cosy which I've promised to make. I hope to have a go at it next week, eek!
