A mere two days into the new year, how many of us have resolved to tackle the seemingly growing pile of crafty WIPs that lurks around, just waiting to be finished ? Could I have a show of hands please ? (she asks, whilst simultaneously raising both arms in confession)
Right. So. Regular readers here will know that I LOVE a good list.
And so, I have done what every self-respecting list-maker would do in these circumstances.
Yes, you've guessed it - I've made a List.
But I digress . . .
So, moving on and as promised, here's my first "ta-dah" of 2015:
my newest make . . .
one side . . . |
The pattern is The Viola Reversible Skirt from Sew Me Something, and the lovely fabrics are from the Indelible collection designed by Katarina Roccella for Art Gallery Fabrics.
. . . and the other side |
The pattern is geared towards beginners and it's so well laid out & instructed (ok, so I may be a teensy wee bit biased, but I do so love the Sew Me Something patterns), and I already had my pattern size cut out from a previous make, so it didn't take me long at all. I started making it on Wednesday and finished it up yesterday.
So, that's that ticked off : - )
Next on The List, is to finish up a little yarny project that I've been enjoying in this week 'twixt Christmas and New Year.
I joined in with the lovely Rachel at Tangled Yarn (just btw, they have a fab sale on at the mo) for the Vector Knit-Along, and am so loving this pattern and the yummy Sulka Legato yarn
too.
Only one more block to knit which hopefully I'll get done this evening.
Coming it at No. 3 on The List is to finish the binding on my scrappy trip quilt. Hmmm . . . a planned sewing day with a crafty friend tomorrow may just see that one ticked off soon too. Watch this space ; - )
Happy weekend all,
'til next time,
xoxo
I would spend quite a lot of money on that skirt. Absolutely beautiful Gilly and happy new year by the way!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Gilly ... I too have just had my first Tah Dah of the New Year. A Dartmoor Dreaming baby blanket finished today. Your makes are lovely. Happy New Year x
ReplyDeleteGilly you have amazed me. Finishing off projects Wow! Love the skirt so pretty.

Beautiful skirt the fabric is delightful. You are putting me to shame I haven't done any crafting all over the holiday period.
ReplyDeleteI'm close to a ta da does that count
ReplyDeleteOh aren't you are busy li'l gal!! Gorgeous makes, Gilly......love, love your skirt. No "Ta-dah" moments from me......I've had my head stuck in a book; only coming up for air occasionally. Happy New Year filled with many more gorgeous makes to you!!
ReplyDeleteYou're starting the year off well, Gilly. I need to decide where to start on my long "I want to sew this next" list! :oD
ReplyDeleteWow, good for you. I love the skirt. I have not finished a thing and sinceI just started two projects it might be a while before I do.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Meredith
Fab skirt! Definitely on my wish list this year x thanks for the heads up on the sale, I've grabbed a bargain on some Debbie Bliss Paloma ;) xx

I've got to say I do love a good list. You can never have too many lists. Love the skirt and the wool colours are beautiful. Well done you. X
ReplyDeleteYes lists abound here too, really want to get organised, but I feel the need for the children to be back at school first otherwise it's futile!
ReplyDeleteJillxo
You have more talent in your little tiny pinky toe than I do in my whole body! I absolutely LOVE that skirt, you should make more and sell them in an Etsy store! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHappy First weekend of the year!
Much love,
Tammy
Goodness; you put me to shame... so far I this year I have managed a pyjama day and a day in work! That is a beautiful skirt; I love the fabrics you chose
ReplyDeleteHappy new year!
Your skirt is amazing! I have yet to make a to do list - oh well :) Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteWow I love your skirt and the fact that it's reversible. I will have to check out that pattern. Your shawl is just gorgeous and such delicious colours, I'm sure it will be worn and admired lots. I will have to stop visiting you as you are encouraging me to start more projects (only joking about the stop visiting bit).
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful and very crafty 2015.

Errmmmm WIP's, now let me see.... Lots!!! I am planning to do a bit of a round up post because there are quite a few, plus quite a few things lining up waiting for attention! Your skirt is lovely, and I really like the reversibility of it too, that is a great idea isn't it. I look forward to seeing your Vector as the colours of yarn in your basket are divine! xx
ReplyDeleteI have quite a list, so wonderful to see you are Ta-Dahing already. I still in year review mode.
ReplyDeleteClare xx
You're off to a good start, Gilly! I am still basking in the glow of finishing a scarf on Christmas Eve. I made some more beaded stars last night and I need to catch up on some reading for a class...I guess that is my list of sorts :-) Hope you had a good creative time with your friend! xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful makes Gilly. Especially the vector scarf. Its gorgeous. Bee xx
ReplyDeleteLoving the skirt Gilly. Gorgeous colours. I love a list too, one beside me as we speak! P x
ReplyDeleteI haven't made a list, but I have tackled several wips over the last few weeks- what a good feeling to finish things!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful finishes
ReplyDeleteYour skirt is gorgeous. You clever lady. A very HAPPY NEW YEAR to you. May 2015 be fill with good things.
