A quickie.

Of the blogging variety...

...not that other variety.

Quick stop as I am trying to pack essentials like wine and crafty projects

and non-essentials like clothes and toothbrushes

as I depart with 3 gorgeous South Aussies tomorrow on a road trip interstate.

Have a fantastic weekend ahead with 12 other like-minded crafting mums just out of Bacchus Marsh.

This is the 2nd annual Crafty Mamas sewing retreat

and I am sure that it will be as much fun as last year.

It will involve op shops, coffee, crafting, chatting, wine...

you know the sort of thing!

So I will be back to report sometime after the weekend.

Meanwhile my quickie extends to a fast run down of a skirt that I made this week.

Pattern: Kwik Sew 3494- short version

( I wanted to make th elonger version

but I was too late buying the fabric I had chosen and it was cheap due to some faults but not enough to make the lovely longer version...next time!)

Fabric: green brown boucle (yucky to sew and I don't usually find boucle appealing but this caught my eye)

Verdict: I don't think that the photos do it justice. It is a lovely pattern and I am very happy with the result.

I think that it might just make my butt look big

but I love the style

so I'll suck it up.

Have a great weekend everyone.

I know I will.
