Things I'm working on and a Little Surprise!

I'm working on this little baby for a friend's birthday.  It's a surprise so can't go spoiling birthday prezzies now can we!

Gillian's sewing dare to use my accidentally ordered giant buttons is still on my mind but think I may have a solution involving my Jamie shift dress!  Watch this space!

Having some invisible zipper installation problems with the Jamie.  I always end up with a gap here

as the footer gets stuck at the pully bit of the zipper.  Any advice most welcome?

My sister (who incidentally took these photos!) bought me this lovely notebook for Christmas to pop my sewing inspirations into.  Something about a good notebook...mmmm...notebook *dribbles*.  At the moment I'm randomly snapping pics when out shopping to gather my inspiration

              I love these fabrics and colours

      

I love these styles (I do so want a pinafore!).  I literally pushed a fellow shopper out of the way to snap these!

                       

  

I must apologise for the ever evolving style of my blog.  I'm still learning Blogger and developing my style.  I still can't get it to show me how many followers I have on the stats page.  I can see bimbleandpimble (hello Amanda!) the widget seems fine but I can't see anything else out there on the internet!  Be nice to know I'm not just posting to myself (perhaps I am!), anyone any advice?  

Hope you all have a good #kellyskirtfriday .  Can't wait to see your photos.  You can send them to me via twitter @notchesnnotions or email notchesandnotions@gmail.com

Finally, my next post I am very very excited about.  It's a surprise but involves this little lady...Oooooooo!      

(thanks Blogger for making me re-write (x 3!!) this whole post after you lost it!)
