I hope you are well and safe and staying on top at this crazy time.
The more I am delving into the garments I have made , I am rediscovering those pieces I love and those I need to tweak . Over time my taste has changed and also my wardrobe requirements . I find these days (when I get back to work) that I am more often in pants and rarely in dresses even in Summer so my wardrobe will have to adjust accordingly. I am not wearing heels these days so hems need to be adjusted to reflect that. Versatility is the backbone of my creative process I love making things that can be worn a number of ways.
As we move into winter here in Australia I realise I have neglected my winter garments and need to up my game. I am spending a lot of time in my workroom but doing lots for others and not much for myself , time to readjust. I hope to have some new makes to show, and will blog those I haven’t, It is time to get to work.
Take care, happy creating,
Sue 🙂

It fits really well and he is very pleased with it so much so he wore it to our family Easter lunch.
It is a spotty denim print .As you can see in this next picture the blue is printed onto the white denim. Leaving white spots.
I decided to use a favourite pattern that I thought would lend itself to the design I wanted. The pattern I used is a McCalls. From the NYNY collection 6437.I had made this pattern years ago and I still enjoy wearing the garment.
The style I was after was a little different but it gave me a point to start from. I have no construction photos it was a fast and furious make , you know when something is coming together well, and you have time, you just race on with it. I decided to incorporate the selvage as a trim .
It is interesting. I overlocked my seams .
and I gave my self a large hem just in case I change my mind on the length. 
Hi there ,
I made the petticoat as well. Next was the finished costume . Front View, and back view
