The Liberty Bella Tea Dress
This Tea Dress by Liberty London is made in a patriotic London print fabric in honour of Her Majesty's platinum Jubilee and is also my Birthday Dress
Tea dresses are so flattering and fabulous for when you want to feel dressy but not uncomfortable
This Liberty London design is very typical of the styles worn in the 1940's with shoulder pads and simple lines
Shoulder pads were added to almost every garment in the 1940s, it was a nod to the military and seen as a sign of support to our Armed Forces
I have owned this pattern for ages and had forgotten about it, but with Her Majesty's platinum Jubilee fast approaching it seemed appropriate.
As did this fabulous fabric which I have owned for several years but never found the occasion to use it. It is absolutely perfect!
The pattern is suitable for confident beginners

How to sew Jeans

This is perhaps the most daunting yet the most satisfying garment you can ever master. Jeans are personal and we all have differing views of what the perfect pair should look like.
Get them right and I guarantee that you will love them so much that you will never buy another pair again. I know I won't

An easy way to embelish almost anything using The Circular Embroidery Attachment
Circular embroidery attachments from Jaycotts.
I do love machine embroidery but I appreciate that it is not for everyone for various reasons. I was intrigued therefore when I was browsing Jaycotts web site and came across these special machine feet.
These machine attachments are perfect for adding circular embelishing to clothing, table wear and anything else you can think of. They make beautiful quilts and make circular applique incredibly simple.
I also like the idea of circular pockets and felt coasters and tablemats.
This is the BROTHER CIRCULAR EMBROIDERY ATTACHMENT (There is a video showing it in use on the above link.)
