Tea time

This is Titty reporting again. Auntie was not in such a good mood. Here you can see why:


She had finished John's shirt and helping him to try it on when she noticed that when zigzagging the seam allowances together in the sleeve she had caught the sleeve fabric with a fold, and then cut through the fold. She tried to undo the outer zigzag stitches to make it look OK when the truth was revealed. Well, for a couple of days John had to wear his thick wool sweater, but now the shirt sleeve is fine again. Nobody will notice that it is a fraction shorter than the other one.


See here, both sleeves are still too long, so John can grow some more!


It looks like Spring is on the way. These snowdrops came through the old snow yesterday.


The pond has been frozen through all Winter and the ice is still very thick, but now it is floating on water at least.


Susan and I had tea together. Auntie has just the one cup left from the set of 4 she had when she was little, so we took turns.


Auntie Ulla made this blouse for Susan, and I can tell you she was very careful with her scissors this time. I think she ought to sew something for me next. I know Susan needs a lighter skirt for the Spring too, but I'm stuck with a wool jumper and long trousers, and Roger could use a shirt too.


Anyway, I think Susan's blouse is pretty and I know I will get to use it when she grows out of it. Oh, I almost forgot, the "something nice I planned with Auntie" I mentioned last time, well, it is taking time. Be patient!

Yours ever,
Titty

  1. Pleased Auntie could fix Johns shirt and she made a pretty blouse for Susan too. Maybe she is busy making yours now ?

  2. Accidents happen in sewing even when we try hard to be very careful. I'm glad that the shirt was able to be fixed without too much trouble. The little family is certainly keeping you busy.
