Sewing for cooler weather

I’ve been sewing clothes for the cooler weather, and we get a heatwave.This is a Liberty Corduroy, a very soft, pin wale, it’s not heavy at all.You can see how tiny the wales are on the back of the fabric. This deserves a hand-sewn hem.I love the print! Not the cutesy flowers that Liberty often does, but bold shapes and colors.I made this in time for Thanksgiving, but as yet, I haven’t worn it, that darned heatwave!

Then a friend asked me to ‘help’ her make some Christmas stockings, she had started on her own, but she needed my ‘help’ to sew up the rest of them.There are so many things I love about Christmas, I get to enjoy other peoples lights and trees. So I had a lot of fun making these, even if I did give her a hard time.These were the ones I made.She did hand embroider them herself, so it’s all good.
