“What’s that girl? Timmy’s fallen down the well?”
No need to send out the dogs to find me. Lassie can carry on fighting crime and saving children through the power of barking.*
I’ve just been having some time off and some technical issues!
I’ve been busy beavering away on a dress and two tops but illness, family bereavement and a new job haven’t helped with the energy to do photoshoots. And my wordpress was refusing to publish my latest jacket post so I’ve given up on getting it live for now.
Today we have a brief interlude from my jacket progress to present my Mathilde blouse wearable muslin.
*Fun fact. Timmy never fell down a well on the show as far as I know. Lassie fell down a well. Timmy got stuck in a mine shaft and fell in a river though.

Glad to see you back, hope things are a bit better for you. Your Mathilde blouse looks lovely. I would call it a “wearable full stop” as it’s too good to be a muslin!
Almond Rock
Cheers Sabs! It’s a little snug across the chest but I’m still planning on wearing it until it pops 🙂 I’ll work out the fitting kinks on teh next one.

Thanks Vicki 🙂 I think I might have a dangerous polka dot addiction!

Sorry you’ve been having a difficult time lately, but it’s great to see you back! Your Mathilde looks lovely, way more than just a wearable muslin I’d say ;o)
Almond Rock
Thanks Marie. I’m happy I’m getting back into the swing of things; Including coming to your next Birmingham meet up! I let Kat know this morning. Will be lovely to see you all again. Not sure if you’re coming to London next week?

Sounds like life is testing you at the moment… keep your chin up.
Almond Rock
Thanks! Doing my best. My little brother is a big fan of saying “chin up”. It’s a good mentality to keep to.

Love your Mathilde. Definitely too good for a wearable muslin.
Almond Rock
Thanks muchly (it’s a teeny bit too small on the chest so will be ironing out the kinks in the next version. Yours is lovely, I can see why you picked it as one of your proudest makes. I want to make a lighter coloured one like yours.

Your Mathilde is looking great! I vote that the next version is made with horse print.

So great to meet you on Saturday! I’m contemplating the Birmingham meet up, even though I have enough fabric to last me for a LONG time
Almond Rock
