SSS Day 2

Thank heaven it is Friday, it has been a hectic week.

Top: Burda 02-2009-108 in biscuit Mercury Jersey from Lincraft (blogged here)
Skirt: Burda 04-2009-101 in Salt and Pepper fine cord (blogged here)
Cardigan: Purchased rust cashmere cardigan whilst in China in 2008.
Accessory: Me-Made crocheted necklace
Boots/Shoes: Betts Boots

Now I’m off to pack and set the alarm for 4.00am tomorrow morning to head to the airport for our flight.

This is where my SSS may come undone, small suitcase, limited clothing, fingers crossed.

See you in a week.

Self-Stitched September

Here we go, our first day is grey and showery here in Sydney and my office is still cool, so layering is still a necessity.

Dress: New Look 6348 in deep olive lightweight wool purchased from Tessuti. This dress was made in 2007 to wear to a presentation being made to my DH for a rescue he assisted in whilst skiing in Japan.
Jacket: Vogue 7975 in brown and blue tweed which you saw a lot of in June.
Accessory: Purchased necklace and earrings.
Shoes: Diana Ferrari

See you tomorrow.

I must be crazy

because I have signed up for Zo’s Self Stitched September.

My pledge is:

I, Sharon of Petite and Sewing sign up as a participant of Self-Stitched September ’11. I endeavour to wear at least one self made garment each day for the duration of September 2011. 

I still need tops and the one I made on the weekend, isn’t going to go very far.


September will be an interesting month.
