Chantung!!

I absolutely love chantung material, I have already made a gorgeous top and skirt from a vintage pattern in this stunning gold colour, and just yesterday I went and bought black chantung to make a vintage dress. The patterns are of course from www.gloriousvintage.com I will have to get my camera out and start taking some photos.

HOME PARTIES

I had a Jewellery Party last night for my sister and although eight confirmed, only five showed up. Although it was still a good party and I'm sure my sister was happy with the sales, it got me thinking....

What do people really think about home parties? Do you love 'em or hate 'em? What is it about them that you either love or hate? What would it take for you to go: "WOW, I will defineately attend that party"?

I am very curious to know so please have your say!

My sewing machine has returned!!

Yay! Now I can finally start making the kimono shoes and bibs.

I also have a pattern which i bought from http://www.evadress.com which I have been longing to make. It's an evening gown and is exquisite. It's from 1936 and I am hoping to make it to sell, but I bet by the time I've finished it, I'll want to keep it.
