In my first Wool on Sundays post, when I said “I’ve decided to start WOOL ON SUNDAYS. From Monday to Saturday each week Rainbow Hare will carry on unchanged with my usual mix of sewing quilting and random and I’ll save anything related to wool or yarn for Sundays”, I didn’t expect that a year and a half would pass by with barely a sewing post. And in January, I really meant to be linking up with every Scraptastic Tuesday this year. Today, I am again attempting to get back to sewing!
I’m also set to go with the Merchant & Mills (paper) Dress Shirt pattern, although I’m worried it may end up looking like a tent…It’s nothing like anything I’d usually choose but, for some reason, I love this pattern. As a worse case scenario, I suppose, I will be able to alter it and have a navy linen skirt but I’m hoping the dress will turn out to be nice.
And I even have a sewing finish, although the crochet rather overpowers the sewing. Hopefully, by next week I’ll have made some more progress!

I do like a nice variety of projects and these are great. How are you planning to appliqué the cute mice? I remember my Mum starting an embroidered tablecloth- all that work! By repurposing the embroideries they will be appreciated all over again. I almost felt it was sacrilegious when I made an angel outfit for my granddaughter out of a damaged Victorian cutwork linen sheet but at least it was being used again. Keep up the good (sewing) work!

Stick some darts in it if it's tent-y, I'm thinking of doing that retrospectively with my Wiksten Tova as it fits like a maternity top on me :S

Love those sweet little mice and the fabrics are lovely. This is going to be a gorgeous cushion. Oooooh….all those embroidered pretties. I am certain you will come up with a lovely make! Your dress/shirt pattern is cool…..very “on trend” as they say!

The mouses are so sweet! I have an occasional urge to sew clothes but I lay down in a darkened room until the urge goes – dressmaking means following instructions!!!
