It was lovely and sunny this weekend so we went for a walk. After many years I STILL can't get used to how flat it is down south!
Sunny Cambridgeshire.
The top of an old nuclear bunker. The ladder inside was still intact. We obviously didn't venture inside though (far too creepy and probably not allowed).
I also did some crafting. I have an old jumper which I like the shape of but it's hot and not made of natural fibres so positively crackles with static and drives me bonkers. I bought some eco bamboo jersey from Wazoodle and reinterpreted the design.
It was a pretty steep learning curve as I have never made an item of clothing (not counting doll's clothes when I was a child and crocheted hats and scarves) and have never sewn jersey before. I don't own a serger so after various disastrous experiments with zig zag stitches I called it quits and just used a straight stitch on a rolled hem. I then pleated some narrow ribbon and attached it with straight stitch to embellish the neckline. It's wearable but I think I can improve it so might have another go.
