Loving Bloglovin'

I've seen Bloglovin' all over the place for some time now and I don't know why my curiosity hasn't taken me there sooner. I have bookmarks all over the place, and a list of blogs that I follow in Blogger as well as the odd pin in Pinterest. Now I have it all under one roof, on one page for my extra convenience. Love it! I just wish all of the blogs I follow were on there. So if you are reading this and you aren't on there, please, please, pretty please add your blog!

Anyway, I haven't spent the last couple of Weeks stalking my latest blog crush. I've been slowly getting on with my Joel Dewberry meadow spirit skirt. I must say I should have finished it by now, it's simple enough, but life has been getting in the way, especially since the Sun has graced us with its presence!

I made a little bit of mistake with the skirt. I could have finished it last night, but I had previously thought it would be a good idea to use a stiffer interfacing as I always wish I had and now I know why I shouldn't. It turned my hips into a triangle. So this was me last night un-picking the bias binding I used to finish it off so I could rip the interfacing out...

Arrrggghhh sleeves!

I didn't spend long on my dress today. Getting the sewing kit out late doesn't bode well for an evening! So I decided to pt the sleeves on and no more.

It didn't really work out as planned. The first sleeve I messed up 3 times, which means un-picking the same section 3 times. It's still wrong. As you can see from the picture below, one sleeve has two nipped bits of fabric and the other has turned out OK (or will look more so once it has been pressed!).
Sleeves are not easy!!!

Right sleeve looking a little rubbish!
