My Sewjo has returned!

I've finally had to time to get back to my lovely sewing machine and it has rewarded me by sewing beautifully too. I think we both missed each other! Starting from oldest to newest:

Here is my new handbag. I will have these up as custom bags that can be ordered through my website soon (I know I always say soon, I just keep running out of time at the end of the day, so if you can't wait, please send me an email)

Technically not sewing, but thought I'd add some photos of Jordan at is "space themed" dress up day last Friday. He decided to go as an alien, but I couldn't find anything alienish anywhere. Bearing in mind he told me this Thursday morning, here's what we came up with after a trip to trusty ol Spotlight for supplies:

Jai desperately needs some new clothes, so I've made a start and whipped up these shorts yesterday!

I used Burda pattern 9800

His "I don't want to have my photos taken today" face lol.

A much happier face!

I too have been growing out of my clothes and especially missing my skirts so I made my first maternity skirt on Monday

I used Burda pattern 7998

And while I'm at it I will show my latest "belly shot" photo taken today, I'm currently 19 weeks and 3 days!

It feels so great to be back in the sewing groove again. I went to spotlight today to pick up a couple of new patterns, some new ones for the baby and a new pattern for Jordan to make some shorts up for him, he's gone into the "teen" sizing range now - he's only 7 but is wearing size 9 or 10 already as he is so tall!

Thanks for looking!
