My name is Bracken. I live in the UK. I make all sorts of crafty things but mostly I sew so this is a blog about making lots of garments and becoming who I really am after many years buying ready to wear. You will find the odd recipe for food and cosmetics or also knitting on here as well as sewing.

#MMM17 day 19
Today I wore my lilac gingham leggings which were made for the Gingham Along here:

That was so much fun!
Funny I only bought the fabric cos it was ridiculously cheap. I don't even like gingham but these were a good make although I ended up redoing the waistband and added elastic to the top of them cos they were too tight else. Probably 'cos the pattern is meant for stretch knits not stretch cotton. Its also not very stretchy stretch cotton! They work now anyway.
With these I wore my fluffy mohair type jumper with my lace top. This jumper took ages to finish knitting here:

And top here:

I like this top very much so am intending to make several more of these in different colours. Maybe with better background fabric tho' cos this is naff.
Thanks for visiting, Bracken
