End of August Wrap Up
I know we are nearly at the end of September and my August wrap is now only being blogged, but friends I do have an excuse. A few days after the end of August I flew out of New Zealand for a much anticipated holiday in New York. New York is one of those places I have always wanted to visit and it didn't disappoint. Because this is a sewing blog and not a travel blog, I won't go into details. All of this travel, returning only last Friday and the ensuing jet lag (think an 8 hour time change) has meant that I am only now writing up what I made in August. Hopefully I will find the energy to photograph the items I made to take away before October rolls around, but I wouldn't hold my breath! I have quite the queue of makes to write up. I was rather pleased with my pre holiday sewing efforts and even more pleased that everything I took with me got worn. I hope to share it with you all soon!

I'm glad you made it to NYC!!! I went for the first time this year and will definitely have to go back :)
ReplyDeleteI really love that 1487 shirt!
I loved New York! It was one of those bucket list places for me. I would love to go back one day but from New Zealand it is a very long trip.
DeleteI love the 1487 shirt as well. I may make a summer version yet!
I loved seeing the boiled wool Morris - I have been on the fence with this pattern . I bought some knit to try it but also have some purple boiled wool . I wanted to make a long coat with wool , but I love in the SW - USA . Not much of a need for a long coat. So yours looks great & appeals to me !!
ReplyDeleteI have so many of these Morris Blazers and they are favourites. The others are all in ponte. If you do decide to make it, I found that hand stitching the facings down stopped dragging on the fronts which I and others seemed to have an issue with.
