    It all looks delicious! I've never attempted to make shortbread cookies myself, but I should try. Perhaps this Christmas?

      Thank you. The recipe is just for the plain shortbread but you can just add some food grade lavender to the top of the shortbread or into the mix.

    I haven't baked in years (too dangerous to have in my kitchen - it ends up in my belly!), but ooh, don't those all look so delicious!

Sewing Project: Two shirts combined

Image
I had two really cute blouses, neither of which was a good fit.   Blouse One: Cute fit and pintucks but it is loose at the top and opens up badly at the front if you don't constantly tense your shoulders. Blouse Two:  Absolutely gorgeous yoke but many, many sizes too small! Just to make things harder, the second blouse is so well sewn! The seams are even covered over with a beautiful selvedge! Lots of work to unpick! The yoke unpicked. Finally! The yoke pinned to the other blouse. Thankfully, the neckline around the top was nearly an identical match! It still took a bit of effort, though! All sewn together!  It's not perfect, the collar underneath peeks through a bit at one point. The machine did not like all the layers so the sewing tension inside is a bit messy, thankfully it looks good on the outside.  The skirt is from Dangerfield's The Lady and the Unicorn collection. This was a collaboration with the Art Gallery of NSW when the tapestries came to Australia...

Queensland Holiday Part 1: Ripley's Believe It or Not

Image
DAY 1: Sunday We arrived at Gold Coast Airport from Sydney early in the morning and got a bus to Surfer's Paradise. Once there we got an early check in at our hotel in the Q1 building at about 12.15, and went out to look around. We checked out the shops and beach. We had an ocean view from our room and could see and hear the waves. DAY 2: Monday Day two's weather was punctuated by rain showers but we were doing mostly indoor activities, so it wasn't a big problem. We started out at Ripley's which was just off the main street in Surfer's Paradise. Ripley's Believe it or Not Robert Ripley  ( February 22, 1890 – May 27, 1949)  began his career as a sportsman and cartoonist. He was fascinated by unusual events and objects, leading to his "Believe it or Not!" comic strips which became very popular. He enjoyed travelling the world to find oddities and opened his first museum in Chicago in 1933, then known as the Odditorium. In 1936 he was voted the most popu...

Sewing: Steampunk Skirt from McCalls M7500 (Again)

Image
I finally finished my skirt from the McCalls M7500 pattern. I posted about the mock up  here .  The fabric is from a friend,  Roli . I love the key pattern. The ruffle is made from a bedsheet. I am finally getting used to sewing ruffles which I have always found incredibly frustrating. One of the reasons it took so long is because I tried a few different types of waistband. In the end I wasn't happy with any of them so I ended up turning the fabric over at the waist to make a channel for the elastic as I did on the mock up. I am quite happy with this as it allows a lot of adjustment if my weight fluctuates and it still looks quite neat.  Without petticoat With petticoat. Obviously it would look better with a white/cream petticoat so I will have to get one.  I think this will become a go-to pattern, I have more Steampunk patterned fabric I want to use.  Next I want to make a matching bolero if I have enough fabric left over.
