Sew Grateful Week.

                       Everyone knows mow about the Sew Grateful week with the lovely Debi http://fashionsfromthepast.blogspot.com/ , and if you don't, where do you live MARS ??

My sew grateful has turned into a sew disaster so far, but I'm pulling it back and have a little offering at last!
I had been planning all along to make the retro hair band from Chic on a shoe string, all because I am so utterly grateful to MrPB for this lovely book and Kat from Modern vintage Cupcakes http://macskakat.wordpress.com/ for the cute polka dot buckle. But best made plans and all that, I could not find my bits and bobs which had been put in a safe place!!!

I love this book so much that I still wanted to use something from it. So plan B. Using no.1 of the 10 commandments in the book I thought I would rebutton a lovely cardigan. Now the cardigan itself I am grateful for, it must be 40 years old and comes from a big bag of clothes given to me by a lovely friend.

I am also so very grateful to lovely Charlotte from http://heartscottage.blogspot.com/  for the sweetest green spotty buttons and the fabric used for the patch, you could say I'm a slow burner as I've had these goodies for almost a year but wanted them to be on the right creation!

So that is my main Sew grateful offering, but I wanted to quickly add my gratefulness to mum and dad who gave me the Colette book for Christmas. My mum was so impressed with it that she bought herself a copy. When I visit next week we are planning to to start making the dress together helping with perfect fittings! But I have had a quick go at making one of the skirts.

Finally, I know it's late but I did want to thank all of you that follow my blog. I want to say how grateful I am to everyone who's blog I follow as you are inspiring and supportive. I've never been in such a fantastic crowd of people so needless to say a give away (sorry it's so late)

Above is cute pattern, size bust36. yellow buttons that could go with the cute fabric, very 70s Daisy's.
