I saw a lovely dress pattern when I was surfing Rav this afternoon which led me on to surfing the New Look/Simplicity website... and now I've made a note of four patterns that I like Embarassed

I haven't bought any patterns for AGES although I used to buy a fair few - but then I also used to make nearly ALL of my own clothes before I had the boys.

I have loads of fabric stored away in the loft and I'd love to have a go at making a few things again. If I can get the standard sized pattersn to fit me that is! I think I'm a darn sight bigger now that I was when I sewed for myself before.... Rolling Eyes

They do bigger sizes too, debs. I made a few maternity dresses years ago, they were plus sized, but havent got much of a fabric shop near here now.

I would love to make something - so far I've bought a bag pattern but no fabric Confused

I fancy making a skirt and also something patchwork too.

My sad and lonely piece of material I bought in March is still waiting to be made into a skirt Laughing

I need to get that sewing mojo going Laughing

I noticed the other day that one of my LYSs has got some really pretty fabric in, so no need to trek up to London again if the mojo really kicks in Cool
