A sewing holiday!

A couple of weeks ago I went on holiday with my extended family to what can only be described as the middle of no where. We stayed on a very large farm meaning there was lots to do... when it came to walking! Don't get me wrong I enjoy walking but I can't do it 7 days in a row. So for some entertainment I decided to take my sewing machine with me.

This was a first for me but it got me wondering do you ever take your sewing machine with you on holiday or have you ever sewn in a bizarre place? Please leave a comment bellow :)
I hope this has inspired you!

september high waisted denim skirt

It's sad to say but autum will be here soon (as you can tell I adore summer, from my other post, and all it's bright colours) but it's not all doom and gloom because autum brings its own set of colours and gives me an opportunity to work with darker more subtle colours.

This can best be seen in the skirt bellow. I got the top half of this skirt (the orange bit) pattern from a pattern online, which sadly I can't find at the moment but if I find it again I will update this post.

The bottom part of this skirt was improvised making sure that I calculated in space from the widest part of my hips and added in seam allowence. The final result is a simple but autumery skirt that can be teamed with many diffrent styles.

 P.S. I'm so sorry that I haven't been blogging regularly because things are a bit hectic at the moment but as soon as they calm down I will hopefully be able to blog more regularly. 
I hope this has inspired you!
