Hello Dhaaarlings...
Things are rather quiet here at the Palais as you might well have guessed from my slack efforts at posting recently...
I don't have an awful lot to tell you... or many new creations to show you though no doubt that will change as the year goes on...
The Empresses Health scare has settled to awaiting a referral to see a specialist which won't happen until the end of the month... so as of the end of the week the Empress will be flying off to Western Australia to visit my Sister and her family in Perth.
In the mean time I'm managing to potter about in the vegetable garden, and managing to complete some sewing projects started mid last year but put on hold once I started making stage costumes.
A friend of the Empresses who is in her 80's has had a stash of pure French, Italian and Indian silk fabric that she has collected via gifts from her own family over the years. She is no longer able to sew for herself and has asked me to turn the fabric into some skirts and blouses for her.
So... This is my current project. No pictures as yet but they wont be far away.
I've also been asked by one of my Nieces to make her a sun dress.
As she has herself a little part time job, she insisted on paying for the fabric and we both had a lot of fun browsing through pattern catalogues for ideas.
We have drafted the pattern block in her size and can now go about designing and making the pattern pieces.
It's her birthday at the end of the month so hopefully if all goes to plan she will have a new party dress to celebrate in!
So my darlings while I take a little break from the Phaff and relax with a little cuppa...
Here's something nice to look at...
