No more sewing.........for a while anyway


"He sat in the window of a little shop in Westgate Street, cross-legged on a table from morning till dark. 
All day long while the light lasted he sewed and snippetted, piecing out his satin, and pompadour, and lutestring"
Beatrix Potter - The Tailor of Gloucester

I have to admit to feeling just as overwhelmed with sewing and in need of mice a few weeks ago! But now it is all finished and although I say it myself I am very pleased with the results . As promised I have been out specially today to take a photo! The seat covers, curtains and cab blinds are all finished, just the rug to do and that can wait till we are on the road!

I finished work yesterday although I don't think its sunk in yet. Chris has been to work today and I think when we are both finished it will seem more real. I have done some packing and sorting and also treated myself to a visit to my favourite cafe in Bristol this afternoon (Papa Costas) on park street. Baklava to die for.... its been a good day!
