Husband to wife: "Put your coat on, I'm going to the pub."
Wife: "Oh, that's nice, are you taking me for a drink?"
Husband: "No, I'm turning the heating off."
More clothes!
A month ago I went to the knitting and stitching show at Alexander Palace and had a wonderful day. I loved being with hundreds of over-enthusiastic crafts women for the day. If I'd had more time, I'd have happily spent another day there.
I came home with bags of fabric and a bill for an overlock machine. One of the fabrics was this wonderful Italian wool scribble coating, which I'm told was made for Missoni.
I loved it and bought enough for the Sewing Workshop's Soho coat.
Well it's all made up and lined now, and I love it!
I'm even pleased that the weather has turned colder.
I've been busy making felt too.
This piece has been felted into a hairy, sparkly net material. It is now an amazing vest. I'll show more pictures next time.
I've got a new blog project in mind that I'm working on getting ready for the new year. But I'll be posting here until then.
wow fabulous coat and i love the felt you have been busy!

That scribble fabric is fantastic. And what a wonderful coat it has turned into!

I just read your article called "Visual Brainstorming" in a past issue of Cloth Paper Scissors. Actually I've read it twice in the last week!
I also just looked at your galleries, and I could spend hours staring at your collages and paintings. Love them!
