According to the ‘likes’ on my instagram pages the following were my ‘Magnificent Seven’:-
1 Freya Blue Cowl neck top – viscose jersey – Rainbow Fabics
2 New Look 6731 Palm Leaf Blouse – viscose challis – Rainbow Fabrics
3 By Hand London Hannah wrap dress – check poly/cotton duvet – Dunelm

5 ‘Moira’ Moonflower dress – viscose challis – Rainbow Fabrics
6. Love Notions Melody Blouse – viscose challis – Rainbow Fabrics
7 ‘Jane’ Pinafore dress – Autumnal print curtaining cotton remnant – eBay
Blue Viscose Jersey ‘Freya’
New Look 6731 Viscose Challis
Hannah dress
Hack New Look 6731
Melody Blouse
‘Moira’ Moonflower
Autumnal print ‘Jane’ Pinafore
An interesting result that demonstrates my ‘conversion’ to Viscose substrate purchased mostly from Rainbow Fabrics and also the use of recycled and/or refashioned woven fabrics.
For 2022 I am determined to whittle down my stash of both fabrics and patterns. To that end I have unsubscribed from all those companies that regularly send inviting mails with enticing photographs of new and exciting fabrics and dressmaking patterns.
For the month of January I intend to ‘Go Green’, by that I mean that I would like to concentrate on projects using fabrics with a Green theme. I have several lengths selected and I hope to use them on ‘new to me’ patterns plus some old favourites.
The first project is a long sleeved blouse (‘Carmen’) using a TNT pattern, last made as the first project of 2021. What a coincidence that the pattern will again be the first make of 2022!
