Swaps, gifts, and nice things.

This is a bit of a show off post really.Goodies have been sent and received for the lovely spring sewing swap over at kestrelfindsandmakes.blogspot.com .

 

I was lucky enough to be swapping with Vicki from vickikatemakes.wordpress.com/ it has been so lovely creating a parcel for a new friend. Vicki has an amazing talent makes the most wonderful fitted dresses. Being a swap this is what I received, oh lucky me! I just love the skirt pattern and plan an autumn skirt already.

This is what I sent Vicki, a hard task but good fun making a parcel that is liked by a new blogger friend.

 
 


I have also been a winner this week, Super Debbie from  minnado.blogspot.com  


 Look at this lovely plaid (as it's called in the US) and beautiful lace. Thank you so much Debbie.

 And finally, a confession, I just couldn't help myself, it was only £10 and when I looked inside I surprised at how many lovely makes there are inside. So I bought it!



Sewing update : Yes I'm still working on that maxi dress, I hope to finish it soon as I'm planning to join in with the bombshell swimming costume sew along.

Hope all is well in your world. x x x

    I like the look of that Simplicity skirt pattern with the front pleat - very classic and stylish.

    So fun!! I love the idea of a sewing swap...I just wish I had more sewing time...one of these days I'm going to pawn the kids off on someone, and spend all day sewing!!
