Tilly's Miette Skirt Ready Steady Go

*Hello*

Keeping the theme going I'm about to embark on my second sewing project.

Tilly's Miette Skirt.

Got my pattern downloaded and printed.

Got my fabric.

Chrissie at the Fabric Shop in Melrose was lovely

 and spent a bit of time helping me choose the fabric.

We had spotty fabric out, linen fabrics, so many to choose from.

I knew I wanted something with a bit of weight to it but with a summery pattern.

So I plumped for this one because it has a linen feel and is bright and summery!

Thank you Chrissie for your help!

I'm going to do the skirt without the pockets with this fabric.

Will get cracking with the sewing this week hoping to finish at weekend!
(Enough time to get brown legs for photos?)

Have you made this pattern?
I would love to hear any of your tips or hints.

Beginning with Tilly's Mathilde Blouse

Hello and welcome to Sew Smittin!

In the past month I have discovered a passion for sewing clothes!
I attempted my first project Tilly's Mathilde Blouse and was hooked.
I started my sewing journey on my Smittin Treasures blog and I'm wanting to chart my progress ups and downs, warts and all on a separate blog.
Here are some photos from my first blouse.

Sharon's Blouse

My work colleague/friend Sharon is sewing along with me and
we will be doing the occasional pattern at the same time.

I'm looking forward to my new adventure and hopefully (!?!) some new clothes!
